We all know Mario and Sonic are the kings of platforming. Everybody loves them.

But what are some of the platformers you love that don't involve fat plumbers or blue hedgehogs?

Conker's Bad Fur Day because I'm a juvenile twerp and I will always laugh at dick and fart jokes.

Donkey Kong Country because it's just an awesome game.

I like Kirby, and Donkey Kong Country for Nintendo.

For Sega, I like Kid Chameleon, Decap Attack, Comix Zone, and X-Men 2.

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.

Ristar is indeed great! It is often forgotten as well.  :(
