I still play Mario. I have a Gameboy Advance with Super-Mario Deluxe in by my PC so I can play through one level while I'm waiting for a game to load.

EDIT: I am really tempted to unleash my inner Grammar Nazi. So I will.

Your post should have been worded as follows:

Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favourite 2D plattformer.

MediEvil 2. Nothing says platform jumping than hopping around rowboats suspended in mid-air, for example.

The original Prince of Persia just blew me away the first time I saw it. I remember thinking how realistic it looked. It's still a lot of fun today.

I'll always love Flashback and Super Mario World. Flashback for the most amazing "real" experience I'd had in a game up until that point, and Super Mario World as a culmination of all the "fun" platforming that came before it.

I love the good old fashioned style platformer. Especially ones that follow the Mario 64 route - there are X number of Y in the level, go through a bunch of challenges to get them all. Love 'em. Seem to be hard to track down these days, but if you're willing to look hard enough, you can find a fair few, mostly on the PS2.

Games like that include the other 3D Super Mario games (obviously), the original Jak and Daxter, Vexx, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Pac-Man World (to a degree), Rayman 2 (or Revolution, it's an excellent remake), both Wallace & Gromit games, the Tak series and about 80% of animated film tie-ins. Ratatouille was a good example of this.

I'd recommend Jak & Daxter, Vexx and the Tak series. Shouldn't be too expensive these days.

Super Mario 3 on NES! C'mon people, there was no need to make another platformer after that!

Wario Land on the original Gameboy. One of the first platformers I ever really got into, and one of the first games I actually beat by myself. It was totally awesome.

Great. One of the best and most fun games of the past several years. I'm sorry, sir, but Super Mario Galaxy was great. I don't know what's happened to you in the ten years between Mario 64 and SMG, but I apologize on behalf of the world.

Psychonauts, Klonoa, Sly Cooper, and Yoshi's Island spring to mine. They're all extremely high quality platformers.

Spyro The Dragon and Crash Bandicoot Warped. The first two Spyro games are sheer digital gold, and the third one's not bad either. After that, they went seriously downhill. As for Crash Bandicoot, Warped is just absolutely crazy, and absolutely fantastic fun to play.

Ah, the good old PS1 days, when not every game had to be a multi-million blockbuster success with guns pouring out of every cavity and a novelty song stuck on the end.

I agree with you 100% I mean Crash Bandicoot was about dick all really and it was HUGE, same for Spyro. Bring it back damnit!
