What Are Your Favorite Platformers NOT Starring Mario or Sonic?

[burningdoom]

Some nice picks! We must have some platforming fans around here. 

Some of my favorites (I'm keeping my list to pure-platformers, rather than adding action-platformers, or else my list will become a wall of text, big 2D platforming fan here):

-Crash Bandicoot
-Donkey Kong Country
-DuckTales 1 & 2
-Gex
-Pac-Man World 2
-Rayman: Legends
-Spyro the Dragon

rocket robot on wheels: its a 3D Platformer and forgotten classic for the N64, i have never completed it because its vary difficult but its fun to play, i'm not sure if any one on this forum has played it though, which is sad because it deserves more attention and a sequel

I bought it and played it for a little bit. It was very, very ok.  But, that's my opinion. Admittedly, I didn't make it very far.  I may not have given it the time it deserves.

the maps are huge, every world has a sub levels and mini games, i got about 10 to 15 hours before i quit for some reason, for a 3th party 3D platformer from fifth generation of consoles its good, you have to remember in the fifth generation there is not many good 3D platformer games on ps1 or n64

Does Contra count as a Platformer?
