Super Mario 3Dworld. If we are talking about 2d platformers then New super mario u is the most fun.

For me it's a tie between Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Rayman Legends. Both are fantastic games.

I love how fast paced Rayman is, the controls are fantastic, and the musical levels were a fun addition, they could've made a whole game around, but the best thing by far is it's fantastic art style. that game is just gorgeous,

Donkey Kong is soo good as well though. I love snooping out all the secrets, again, it controls fantastically and it has a nice challenge curve. The sountrack is one of my favorites.

Both underrated games imo.

agree 100%

my 2 favorite platform games in 20 years.

I've probably played through more wii u platformers than any other console in my life.

Anyway, my preference out of the best of them:

Super Mario 3D World > Yoshis Wooly World > Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze > Stealth Inc 2 > Shovel Knight > Rayman Legends > Guacamelee > NSMBU > Kirby's Rainbow Paintbrush, Sonic Lost World.

What, no Giana Sisters Twisted Dreams, Trine Enchanted Edition, Trine 2 Director's Cut, Sonic Boom? :P


I really liked trine 2 a lot. I forgot that one. Not a fan of giana sisters. I had the original trine on pc and it was too similar to trine 2 for me to justify buying the new one. Only played the demo of sonic boom and it sucked. I have a number of other indie platformers on wii u like freedom planet and others. They range from good to mediocre.

From what I've played, DK:TF, Shovel Knight, 3D World, Rayman Legends, Guacamelee, NSMB:U, Kirby. I'll be picking up Yoshi at some point, I hope.

Tropical Freeze takes it for me; tight controls, clever level design, and one of most sublime video game soundtracks I have ever heard.

About all that holds it back from being a masterpiece is its lack of ambition.

I was just teasing, but fair enough. :)

There are many, many options I omitted from the poll; NSMBU, Guacamelee, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Boom, Giana Sisters, Trine, Trine 2, etc.

Ultimately, I pared it down the more popular ones and summarised the rest as "other", allowing people to specify their "other" in a post.

When I say "popular" I mean more how liked it is among forum goers. ;)
