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?

2D: Super Mario World. It just plays smooth af. Pretty close to a perfect videogame.

3D: Rayman 2. Platformers usually have a colorful and happy world. Rayman might still be colorful, but it stands out because it's kinda grim. Gameplay wise... I should replay it, because I'm not actually sure anymore. I think all 3D platformers of this time could be a little bit janky. I remember there were some frustrating parts, at least for a kid.
