Super Mario Bros. comes to my mind first despite not having played it practically at all, then my mind shifts to LittleBigPlanet as that's the most recent platformer I've played and finally I come up with Crash Bandicoot 3, my favorite platformer.

I'm surprised more people didn't think of this....

Ratchet and Clank first sprang to mind!

I think all of you who say anything but 'Mario' was the first thing to pop in your head is just being fanboyish. Seriously. Mario games are by far the biggest (and best) platforming games to have ever been created. Spanning over 20 years and is *most* people's first game let alone platforming game. I can't fathom anyone who would think *initially* of anything but Mario when platforming game is first mentioned unless they don't know what the term means. Then to define it, assuredly the person would use Mario. lol.

I'm not trying to sound Nintendo fanboyish, just being realistic on the size and scope of Mario games in our world, even outside of gaming.

I grew up playing Crash Bandicoot games with my family and friends and I have many unforgettable memories related to Crash Bandicoot games, more compared to all the Mario games I've played and if someone asked me what the OP asked, Crash Bandicoot comes into mind. Is that a problem? Am I being a fanboy?

Crash Bandicoot 3, Super Mario World.

Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.
