I'd go
1. Ratchet 2, one of my favorite platformers of all time, could be the best in the series

2. Super Mario Bros 2, even though it's technically not even supposed to be a mario game it still had a lot of influence on the series as a whole. If it weren't for 2 Peach wouldn't float and Luigi wouldn't be the taller brother with a weird high jump and slippery control. It's also probably my third or fourth favorite Mario game ever, and I know I am in the minority on that.

3. Jak 2, Jak's transition from silent protagonist to gun-toting, grizzled badass was jarring for me, though not as bad as the prince of persia's. Still, the game mechanics were improved and it turned into a better game than its predecessor.

4. Sonic, I was never a big sonic fan personally.
