hmm close call actually. Mario and Banjo are both excellent platformers, and the only two deserving the title of Best platformer

2D = Super Mario Bros 3 or Super Mario World. There are tons of other entries you could fit in here.

3D = Super Mario Galaxy easily.

ITs a tie between SMB3, SMG and SM64. Banjo Kazooie is also one of the best.

My personal favorite is still SMB 3 (nostalgia, maybe), but honestly speaking, SMG is the best platformer ever created.

Yeah it's better but not even close to better for its time. SM64 is a much better game for its time and I think that's what matters.

There is no competition for SMG. It is, in fact, awesome for its time (which would be now). You just don't realize this because the competition is so..........almost none-existant

I agree, Gex was a great game.

Also, Conker's Bad Fur Day (if it counts), and the Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES.

Super Mario Bros 3. Though if you'd divide 3D and 2D the best 3D platformer would either be SM64 or SMG. SMG is the better game in my opinion, but it's not the revolution that SM64 was.

Jak & Daxter for me, infact the whole Jak franchise but the first time I played Jak & Daxter was just magical. The 1st game was stunning to look and the art style was realling appealing, I totally fell in love with the game and it was really well made and structured.

Banjo 3?

Not yet but I'm hyped for it this year and should be awesome considering the console & dev. but was meaning the first one on N64.

You made me think of a side note.

Sure would be something if Banjo 3 was GOTY 2008 making a platformer GOTY ( SMG 2007 ) for two straight years as we have not seen that for a long, long time.

All of Mario's main console platformers except for SMB2 and Sunshine (great games, but not as good as the others) deserve mention. My personal favorite is SMB3.

Another world (1991) & Flashback (1992/3) debuted on the Commodore Amiga 500.

anyway, i'm just impressed by your taste, as I really liked another world back in the day.

If they debuted on the Amiga 500 then they must have sold it here, since the games are french.

I never did see one though, I was never on the PC side.

oh! that explains why the cutscene at the beginning had a computer screen displaying french text like "bonsoir professor", and something "ferrari" in it :)

Now, I have to ask you this (completely unrelated). Have you ever seen/heard of the anime cartoon Captain Future (Capitaine Flam) and Grendizer (Goldorak)?
