[QUOTE="dragonfly110"]

yea, thinking about it Im kinda beginning to share that opinion as well. But I suppose it would be best not to bring that up here :P

anyways, besides the Banjo Kazooie games and there sexy awesomness, some of my other favorite platformers are

DOnkey Kong Country

Mario 64

and of course

Super Mario world and LittleBigPlanet

SilverChimera

Yay! I like all of those! I'd also like to add Donkey Kong 64 to that list :P Rare used to be one of the best devs for platformers :)

yes, omg how could I forget it, that and conker were some of my favs that gen :P

Mega Man Zero and Super Mario Bros. 3 are the two best platforming experiences.

You don't have to believe in what you are saying, you just have to make sure you say it while I'm around. Kinda like how kids hate eating good food but have no choice when their parents force them too. I expect you will have a Yoshi's Island sig tomorrow? *reachs for weapon* :P seriously :|

Banjo Kazooie. I still haven't gotten around to playing Banjo Tooie. If I did, it would probably get my vote.

I love all kinds of platformers VERY much. It's probably my favourite gaming franchise of all time, but I have always believed that 2D platformers are just simply far greater than 3D platformers by default.

Yoshi's Island is probably still one of the absolute best platformers ever

I would also like to do something that is frowned upon... I'd like to suggest that game as new as 2009 deserves to be mentioned in this thread. Without nostalgia glasses on, New Super Mario Bros. Wii boasts the greatest and most clever level designs in any Mario Platformer period. There, I said it

Either Mario Galaxy or Super Mario World for me, both are so damn good that I can't pick a favorite from them two.

As far as this generation goes, I'd have to go with LittleBigPlanet. The level of creativity in that game is really second-to-none; I'm betting even Miyamoto has a lot of respect for what the developers did with LittleBigPlanet. As far as the best of all time, I think Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES is amazing, probably tied with Super Mario World for the SNES and maybe Sonic 2 for the Genesis. All three games were great platforming games that pretty much defined an era for the genre.

ive been around since the first mario and for me has to be super mario world. the amount of secrets and shortcuts in that game was jaw dropping and it played absolutely amazingly. mario 64 is a close 2nd, then mario 3. the early 90s was the best era of gaming for me. snes + amiga + being a teenager = gaming heaven
