favorite.... probably super mario brothers 3, as it's one of the most complete/flawless games ever designed.
others (which are still pretty well known):
crash bandicoot: warped (best of the series)
jax and daxter (more of a straight platformer then parts 2 and 3)
rayman 2 (which gets no love anymore)
jet grind radio (gamerankings lists it as a platformer.... which I guess works cause it's not really a racing game)
maximo vs the army of zin (ghosts n goblins.... in 3D!)
donkey jungle beat (donkey kong country.... with bongos!)
As for a game that I liked when I was younger but was critically panned: tonic trouble for the n64.
