While I have yet to play DKBananza, my vote currently goes to… Super Mario Bros Wonder. This game sits as among my top fifteen favorite games of all time, and as my fourth favorite Mario (behind only Odyssey, 64, and Sunshine… which yeah, that’s an all-star (pun intended) line-up right there). That first playthrough was truly among the most whimsical and magical experiences I’ve ever felt while playing a video game. Wow(ie zowie)!!

What about you?

Astro Bot.

For me it's between Astro Bot and Mario Wonder. I could go either way, depending on the day.

Gotta be Astro Bot!

Although not a runaway, I still adored other notable platformers such as It Takes Two, Pizza Tower, and Donkey Kong Bananza.

DK, Mario Wonder, Astro Bot, Ratchet are easily the top 4 for me not necessarily in that order.

DK Bananza takes it easily. The game has so much charm and creativity. It truly feel unlike any other platformer I've ever played. A game where every level adds something new or expands on ideas from earlier levels. Even just the basic moveset of DK is incredibly fun to use and experiment with, chaining different moves together to jump a bit further or move a bit faster.

Astro Bot was great but the half hearted attempt at being a playstation celebration never really did anything for me outside of the few levels that actually go all in on the concept. The bots cosplaying as other characters doesn't really do anything for me. Hopefully the next game either goes all in on the PlayStation celebration or drops it completely so the series can start to form an actual identity of its own.

Astro Bot for me. Exceeded expectations and i had more fun with it than DKBananza, SM Wonder and Rift Apart. Havent played the other games in the list.

Probably Astro's Playroom followed by Forgotten Land. Bowser's Fury is also up there.

Donkey Kong Bananza, hands down.

Gotta go with Rift Apart. I can't praise this game enough. Fantastic combat, excellent story and characters, funny dialog, etc. Fantastic game. A 10/10, worth the time and money.
