I've never cared to play a Kirby or Yoshi game so my bad.

Ratchet and clank is 100% a platformer though. I've played like 7 games from the franchise (which has been wholly owned by Sony since day one, not just bought at a later time ala gears) and there are tons of platofrming elements. What made it stand out was the witty sarcastic humor and the wide array of inventive weaponry.

 

But now that I think about it, it could also be called a third person shooter as well. So I'm gonna take back gears from Microsoft and add TPS to Sony's list of genres they dominate at. Thank you (:

No, you spend by far the most time beating up enemies.

I guess Metroid is a platformer as well.

 

I don't think you're qualified to talk about a franchise you've had one experience with from the first entry in a game. The way you travel through levels is extremely reliant on platforming. The way you defeat bosses involves platforming. Pretty much all of the gadgets you unlock, aid in platforming. There's just badass guns thrown in so that you can shoot stuff while you platform. Its actually a really fun series, check it out sometime
