I'm talkign Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Umm... Klonoa. You know? I have but my reservations but Ive recently become nostaglic for Spyro at least, and the Banjo Kazooie smash trailer been kinda bringing me on that platformer tip. I'm just curious if theres any series where its actually worth going back and playing the old PS1 era kind of stuff... or even the remastered stuff in the case of Spyro and Crash. Any of u guys like that stuff? SOund off below.

If youre asking what game people most associate with being molested probably this one OP

I'm afraid not, OP. Mario simply spreads the cheeks of every other game and character for that matter. Topic locked.

Rocket Robot on Wheels was sucker punch's first game and a really good platformer for the time.

spyros ok but cripplingly easy, dont play the remaster cos it looks like shite mate. like when you see a pokemon with actual fur on it in those 3d games... it djust isnt right. klonoa is good, tomba or tombi if youre european is good too.

Klonoa's not european, it's 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds and plays like a regular 2D action game. There's a PS2 sequel, a Wii remake and a few handheld puzzle-platformers and they're all good.

Spyro's like an entire game of the poo poo you do between Banjo levels, it's super simple.

Crash is worse 3D DKC, the kart racer's okay.

gex 2 sucks rear end but i think on it a lot because its a mario 64 clone and not a banjo clone like every other poo poo game from then

i agree with spryro, klonoa, and tomba. they are the only games from that transitional era i really like and still play now

Hell Tomba isn’t European either. It was directed by the creator of Resident Evil after he left Capcom.

Rayman origins and legends are surprisingly very good, despite coming from a developer that doesn't traditionally do many platform games

It's not very fun but the animation is like best-in-class for the time IMO.

Pirate's Curse is the best one. Half-Genie Hero is alright too. The others aren't worth bothering with.

The first Rayman was probably the first video game I ever played, and I still haven't beat it. Maybe if I get diagnosed with cancer I'll make it my last.
