Can't believe DKC has the most votes. There's really no contest here. Everything those other games have, they owe to Super Mario Bros., and even if we're just talking about the first SMB game alone, it still has tighter controls, and a higher degree of replayability to this day than most games ever do.

NSMB and Rayman for me. Rayman was not on my radar until I played Origins. Sure I played the other Rayman games before, but none resonated with me the way Origins did. That game is my favorite platformer this gen, and Legends looks like it will surpass, if not duplicate, the efforts of Origins. With that said, I voted for Rayman. NSMB and DK are close seconds for me, and Sonic has been 'meh' for me for far too long to care anymore. Generations was a step in the right direction though.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

i hadn't played any dk untill returns and i'm in love with it , i was a sega kid so i love the old sonics but dkcr it's just awesome

If you ever get a chance play the old DKC games as well.  Rare did a phenominal job with them and they still hold up to this day.




       

DKC Returns is one of best 2D all time. Sue me.

but I voted Super Mario Brós

I got bored of the 2d mario games after the first New Super Mario Bros. It really never changes at all, and has doesn have as much lasting appeal i would have hoped for.
DKC never dissappoints though.

To be honest, I haven't really ever played Rayman except for in demos.

I don't enjoy Rayman that much. I like Mario more, and the old Sonic games are pretty good too IMO.



I beat DKCR with fifty lives remaining, but it was still a pretty hard game regardless, because the life cap is at 100 and it's quite possible to lose 20+ lives per level. Actually, it took my thirty-five lives to beat the final level. Though that's partially because it was 3 AM during my attempt.

All are great, but for me:


#1. Sonic


#2. Rayman


#3. Mario


#4. Donkey Kong (only cause I've never played DK before)

Donkey Kong Country, as it's never had an entry that was less than stellar.
