In relevance, the series began to decline after the original. It was promoted as the anti-Mario, and drew in many new gamers. But after DKC launched, and later after PlayStation launched, the relevance of a "mascot platformer" declined.

In terms of gameplay, I liked Sonic 2 the best, although it lacked the freshness of the original.

It's really only the Xbox that I can think of which didn't attempt to have a platforming mascot. Even the Playstation touted Crash Bandicoot as one of its biggest system sellers, though it was FFVII that won the gen for them.
