Favourite 90s platformer? (lemmy.world)

For me the nostalgia glasses are turned up to the max for Crash Bandicoot.

I love the character designs, and the music is an absolute bop to listen to. (Got the first games theme as my ringtone even at 27!)

And I enjoyed a good challenge with some of its levels. The bosses were neat and I thought it was just an unusual neat idea that you jump on boxes to progress rather than punching a block for a fireflower.

You?

Super Mario World on the SNES. That game is just great. I love playing it every so often.

This for sure. There are other great examples, like Yoshi’s Island or Mario 64, but World is the one I grew up with and have the most nostalgia for.

Yes! This is my standard for a good platformer.

I think being the "free" game that comes with the system hurt it's reputation. We all got bored of it, but going back to it after playing some terrible platformers really shows you how great it really is.
