I will only consider 3D platformers. The first Jak and Daxter is honestly up there with the best 3D platformers ever but then I don't want to talk about the sequels. Donkey Kong hasn't evolved since 64 unlike Mario so it can't be that. Rayman 2 was awesome and then rest was irrelevant. Kind of weird that it pretty much only leaves Ratchet & Clank that's still trying to be somewhat ambitious. I want series like Kirby, Donkey Kong and Rayman to pick up where they left off on the N64 lol

Donkey Kong counts as Mario.

Hence "Donkey Kong Country" ;)

Hmm tough one. Rayman Legends was pretty awesome. I think my vote goes to Captain Toad.

Does Captain Toad count as a platformer? The entire point of the game is you CAN'T jump.

Yes! That is the best part. Its like a racing game where you race mopeds. Or a shooter where you shoot ink out of super soakers.



DKC hands down, with Banjo Kazooie taking the 3D platformer crown.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Koji Igarashi's brainchild!

Well, I think it's safe to say at this point that DKC wins the popular vote.
Thanks to all who posted/voted.



I didn't expect it to win, but the lack of Kirby support was sad :(
