What are some platformers that are must owns, but aren't as widely known? |

Mr. Gimmick. (although it is probably best to own in emulation. An ebay search brings nothing up) But Pat the NES punk did an insanely convincing video for it. And it is indeed fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yPepjmmZVY EDIT: As the video states it is available through retrousb.com So, no emulation is needed to own it. |

It's funny because I was just about to start a topic like this but for the Super Famicom :D I have heard great things about DoReMi Fantasy: Milon no Dokidoki Daibouken |

Duck Tales 1 & 2 for NES. After the Super Mario Bros. games, it's the best pure-platformer on the NES. Sublime controls, nice graphics that reflect the cartoon, great level-design, and some of the best music on the NES. Pac-Man World 1 & 2 are really good, too. And I never hear anyone talk about them. I spent a lot of time on those games. Definitely not a traditional Pac-Man experiences, though, which is why I'm sure many people didn't like it. But if you can accept it as just a 3D platformer, then you'll have a blast with it. Cool Spot on Sega Genesis and SNES was pretty good, too. Not as good as Sonic or Mario, but as still it's a surprisingly good platformer with some impressive graphics for the time; especially considering it's nothing more than a licensed-game based off a forgotten advertising mascot for 7-Up. |
