TOP 25 Platformers of All Time | 2024

[@MrWar2050]

Psychonauts 2 is ridiculously good! That game has so much soul😭

[@SotNist]

You're definitely a lot younger than me, but I appreciate the love for the platformer genre and it's nice to see different stuff like New N Tasty + Impossible Lair in there. I've recently been playing Mr Run and Jump + Penny's Big Breakaway on my Series X, since they were finally on sale recently.

[@SotNist]

Also, Little Big Planet forever.

Best 2D platformer: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Best 3D platformer: Super Mario Odyssey

[@DolceArdore]

I just started playing SpongeBob Truth or Square a few days ago... Never played a SpongeBob game before and haven't seen the show either but I have to say this is a creative platformer that's lots of fun.

1.Mario Odyssey 2.Rachet & Clank Rift apart 3.Bakeru 4.Astro bot 5.Donkey kong 6.Nikoderiko 7.Super Lucky Tale

[@A_chocolate_bar_review_channel]

When it got down to the top five I was thinking “Hey he missed Psychonauts!” I didn’t expect to see it. Ranked at number one. I can’t disagree with that at all. Psychonauts 2 is an absolute must play bucket list game. The story, the art direction, the worlds and level design, and much more just come together for such a memorable experience.

[@MrZuga89]

Imagine a new Banjoo game, just thinking about the potential soundtrack makes me happy

[@bbbazzinga]

Mario 64 is the best game of all times. It showed everyone how to make a 3D platformer.

[@games4you485]

That is how I would describe Spyro as well Especially with the ps1 startup it really transported me into the game

[@doomraven0]

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 2. Banjo Kazooie 1 3. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze 4. Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island 5. Spyro 3 Conker is not really a platformer, wth? Also, the controls and movement suck. I loved it back in the day but it has not aged well.

[@Andy-W-320]

Great choice for #1

[@Victor-wi7vr]

My personal favorite is Mario 64. To this day, games are based on the mechanics that Mario 64 introduced.

[@matthewmatyszczak1024]

Super Mario galaxy, psychonauts 2, Mario 64, Celeste, it takes 2, are some of my favorites in no particular order. I know the ori franchise is technically metroidvania, but I’d throw it in since it’s one of my all time favorite franchises and I love the platforming in it.

[@kjer2540]

This is a great personal list. Glad to see Mirror’s Edge and SMB on your list. Throw in Shovel Knight, and you have a winner!

[@ThatFaceMelter94]

Excluding Yoshi’s Island is a crime.

[@saelesbonsazse9919]

I'm happy Psychonauts 2 received this high praise! It deserves! Beautiful graphics, nice touching story, great mechanics, such an amazing game!!

[@malinuhhh47]

I truly think Rayman Origins and Legends are the best platformers ever developed, they have perfectly balanced difficulty, memorable characters, incredible soundtracks and they are just flat out fun.

[@Schmitty7546]

N.Sane trilogy is made artificially harder than the original releases, because they messed up the movement controls.

[@ScottyMcGaming]

I can accept not having Sonic at number one, but to not even have him anywhere near the top 5… That’s unacceptable! 🤨 Other than that, you’ve got some decent games in the list… 😎

[@doomraven0]

I kinda enjoy Sonic games but it is also a character that is so antithetical to most platform design. What is the point of exploring when you are playing as a character whose selling point is blazing through the level?

[@shinkazama3959]

Love your picks & the video however with what you mentioned highlighting Mirrors Edge, A LOT of games have held up from the 7th gen, seems like you need to go back & play some of them….

[@minimoe2807]

Solid list! My short N64 list is: - Banjo Kazooie - Rocket Robot on Wheels - Mario 64 - Buck Bumble

[@dark2deeds]

I used to play tons on master system and megadrive but never got into 3d platformers

[@Nobody-w8n4s]

Terraway on the vita is top 3 for me.

[@mikeshadez]

Xbox should put this character in a universe

[@queenoftheangrybirdz1662]

No Battleblock Theater 😭

[@Nobody-w8n4s]

Mirrors edge runs great on deck tambien.

[@MateusDrake]

Did I miss something or is there no Mega Man on the list?

[@bekimbeqiri1560]

Its your choices but crash higher then Mario . Hmmmmm

[@killingkallan_1526]

Where's tinykin

[@JayWood2010]

Ooh, thats another great one. I forgot about it

[@linkvagar2336]

Impossible Lair is the best Donkey Kong game not named Donkey Kong.

[@andrewbryant1388]

Also “Kaze and the wild masks”

[@jaertosilva7382]

Tomba 2

[@MrWar2050]

We have some big upcoming platformers... - Hollow knight silksong - Replaced - The plucky squire - Earthblade - Astro bot And more...

[@Mojaveknight17]

Jaywood please remove the spam comments

[@JayWood2010]

I did. Unfortunately no matter how many times I block them, they always come back

[@roberttaylor2058]

Great vid but please use 'unique' properly. It's distracting each time you say 'very unique' or 'most unique' as it doesn't make sense. Do you mean 'interesting' or 'different' ?I' Anyway 😁 Mine would be 5. AstroBot, 4. Super Mario World, 3. Super Mario 3D World, 2. Super Mario Galaxy 1.Super Mario Wonder. Mario Odyssey, Galaxy 2, Sunshine, Mario 64, could replace Super Mario World but had to choose one. AstroBot is the only non-Mario platformer than comes close to Nintendo's mascot and I've played and loved loads (Psychonauts 2, Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Yooka-Laylee, Rayman 2 & Legends, Little Big Planet, Little Nightmares I & II, WonderBoy, Pac-Land, Mega-Man 2, Donkey Kong Country & TF and loads more). I thought about including the Ghost n' Goblins and Zelda games because they have great platforming sections but I wouldn't class them as platformers
