    :monster: Platformers

    What are some of your favorite platformer games? You know, stuff like Mario Bros. Sonic, Crash Bandicoot etc...

    Odin Sphere, easily the best. Of course I guess there isn't any technical platforming, so perhaps I should say Muramasa?

    If we go old School Megaman X.

    Sonic and Mario would have to be my first picks, since they introduced me to gaming in the first place. But Rayman on the PS comes to mind as well, great looking games (2D ones anyway).

    Oh, and I also enjoyed Croc.. anyone else remember that lil' game. Horrible controls, but cute. And Spyro... haha, they're all coming back to me now.

    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Most of the Mega Man franchise comes to mind, as do the earlier Sonic and Mario titles.

    Seems like most people are counting metroidvania style games. I guess they kinda are. So I will say Cave Story

    Outside of that, Sonic is a shoe-in for me. I love those early games

    Shovel Knight seems to be an excellent choice. I've seen so much good about that game. I need to acquire it

    I'm trying to think of something outside the box though and it's kinda difficult..

    Super Metroid and Yoshi's Island are probably the absolute top of my list.

    Ah, Gunstar Heroes. Was going to mention that but wasn't sure if it was platformer enough, but since its been mentioned it definitely gets my vote. Great music too.

    Mario 1-3, World, all the NSMBs, and Galaxy 1&2. (Galaxy 2 is basically the pinnacle of the platformer; I have no idea how Nintendo will ever top it.)
    Sonic 1-Knuckles.
    Mega Man 2-6.
    Super Metroid.
    Spyro 1-3.
