Favorite 2D and 3D platformers?

topic explains it all

2D: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Sonic 2

3D: Banjo Kazooie and Super Mario Galaxy

2D: Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros, and my favorite........................... Sonic 2

3D: Not really any I could think of

2D: Yoshi's Island
3D: Meh, I dunno... I guess Jak 3 if you count that. I was never a fan of the Mario 64 collect-a-thon formula that all platformers released in the following 6 or so years would copy.

Favorite 2D platformer? Kind of depends, it changes so often it's impossible to pinpoint but i'd say Earthworm Jim is the front runner.

3D platformer? None of them, they can all go to hell, rancid devil spawn that they are. (obligatory 'imo' here)

2D: Super Mario World
3D: Ratchet & Clank Future

2D: Flashback
3D: Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones

2D: Shinobi 3: Return of Ninja Master
3D: Bionic Commando Rearmed...now that I think about it thats more like 2.5D, in which case Mirrors Edge

2D: Super Mario Bros 3, Super Metroid, Braid if it counts

3D: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy. Banjo-Kazooie

2D: Don't have one.

3D: Mirror's Edge

2D: Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World

3D: Super Mario 64, Crash Bandicoot, Banjo-Kazooie, Sly Cooper

I'm damn surprised nobody mentioned Psychonauts yet. I wasn't a huge fan of it, but I know that many people are.

2D: Earthworm Jim, Rayman, Donkey Kong Country

3D: Get the hell away from me you filthy street urchin!

2D: Mega Man 2, Super Metroid, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Ah, the memories), and, more recently, Klonoa 2 and Mega Man 9.

3D: Banjo Kazooie, Rocket: Robot on Wheels (probably the best unknown platformer on the N64), Mirror's Edge, and is Assassin's Creed a platformer?  It sure does seem to qualify: lots of jumping and maneuvering, things to collect, etc.

2D: Jazz Jackrabbit 2, Hocus Pocus
3D: Crash Bandicoot 2/3, Super Mario Sunshine

3D: Crash Bandicoot 3

2D: Rayman.

Donkey Kong Country, Sonic, Mario, LBP, Does Donkey Kong 64 count?

2D, it's a tough call between Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus.

3D, it's between Spyro: Year of the Dragon and Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.

I have a new favorite 3D platformer: Prince of Persia (2008)

I just rented the game and beat it fairly quickly. But it was absolutely awesome. Loved every second of it. Cant wait for the inevitable sequel. I was thinking about buying the epilogue DLC but I heard it isn't too great.

2D: Shantae, Castlevania OOE, Super Metroid

2D: Super Mario Brothers 3, I think.
3D: Mirror's Edge was pretty gewd.

2D: Megaman X, SMW, Sonic 2.
2.5D: Viewtiful Joe 1&2, Klonoa
3D: Super Mario Galaxy, Psychonauts,Super Mario 64

Alot more fans of less well-known platformers here, nice! And here's me thinking we just had a bunch of uncultured nerds on the internet.
