Donkey Kong Country is a garbage platformer with floatier controls than Super Metroid.

If were counting cross platform, replace either Banjo with Spyro

This. It always bothers me that S3K gets overlooked. It's hella fun and bigger+better than the other Sonic sidescrollers.

I'd argue that Secret of Mana is probably a better pick than SMRPG for the definitive rpgs of the 16-bit era, even though I prefer the latter.
I just started playing kirby superstar on my phone. I liked Kirby for 64 and this game is just as good I think

Sonic games are boring as fuck. Jesus Christ.
>>330351272
Any reasons why?
I didn't play Sonic 2 or 3&K until a few years ago since I could only play the Genesis at my friends house and thought they were great.
>>330351558
If someone were good enough to immediately speed through each level without ever stopping, I could see it being fun.
But seeing as how that's not the case, and you'll be stopped by random structures that you haven't yet memorized the location of, I feel like I'm just getting interrupted constantly.
>>330348823
Ogre Battle 64 was just a touched up SNES game.
I'm going through the entire Donkey Kong series blind with my bro right now. We're in Kremland in the second one right now. I'm having so much fun though. The improvements from the first to the second are insane. All games should strive to have sequels this good.
>>330352013
I meant just the Donkey Kong Country series. Although we may play 64 after.

Yeah it opened the path for better 3d platformers. Galaxy was a better better game man. There's so many awful worlds in 64 and the controls are ass.
>>330353327
Dead genre now lmao
>>330353637
>Galaxy was better
Linearity in a platformer a 3D one at that is not a good thing
>Controls were ass
What? Are you just bad at the game? 64 has some of the most beautiful movement in video games thanks to the controls watch a speedrun and see how fluid it moves
Spyro
Spyro 2
Spyro 3
>>330354030
Crash too while you're at it.
>>330353884
You're seriously just blinded due to nostalgia. There's so many worlds in that game that are uninspired and simply boring. In Galaxy, every new world is exciting. There's always something new to look forward to. Also I'm sure we can both agree that the soundtrack is GOAT.
>Linearity
That's a staple of 3D Mario games anon, not just Galaxy.
>>330354172
Crash was terrible.
>>330353884
>Linearity in a platformer a 3D one at that is not a good thing
The levels in 64 and Sunshine are garbage. The only thing they had over the 3D World is Mario's moveset.
Sunshine in particular can't have had more than 20 moving platforms in all of its overworlds combined.
>>330348778
Cross platform counts I'm pretty sure, since it's the same gen.
And yeah those are great platformers (didn't play Tooie).
>>330353837
But 3d worlds aren't dying anytime soon anon.
>>330348778
>Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie
Banjo handled like shit in BK. There seemed to be a 10 frame delay following most all of his moves aside from Rat-a-tat Rap. They fixed it in BT, but they made the levels a huge pain in the ass to complete because of their sheer scale, jiggies locked behind minigames and the backtracking between levels. I don't think either title really deserves to be mentioned as a top-tier platformer.
>>330354206
Your opinion is terrible
>>330354631
It's one of the most overrated Playstation games.
Moreso than even FF7. At least FF7 was actually kind of fun despite being overrated. Crash is just boring and tedious and probably only appeals to Playstation owners who were desperate for any 3D platformers they could get their hands on at the time and just have nostalgia now.
>>330354194
Yea the soundtrack is great but nostalgia has nothing to do with it. You can pick up the controller and master the movement and see how smooth it is. Or you can watch a speed runner like I said and see right now how well it controls and how in control you are of your movement. A good level to demonstrate this would be the first Bowser level. And the second point is not true at all you could do for the most part any Star in 64 in whichever order you wanted and you free to explore the levels and hub at will. In Sunshine you could travel the large hub and levels at will also the only thing different us you can't get certain shines at will but your free to do the levels in any order. Galaxy rail roads you on a set path with little exploration freedom, your always moving forward
>>330354253
See above
>>330354952
You misspelled Mario and Nintedo64
>>330355128
What? The hub functions the exact same as 64.
>get said amount of stars
>new worlds open up
???
>>330354952
>ff7
>more fun than crash
FF7 is probably the worst game I've ever played. It's awful
Crash 2,3, and Team Racing are 3 of the most fun games I've played, and I still play them to this day.
>>330355474
Right but in 64 and Sunshine you are opened up to numerous levels at once which you can do as you want. You can do half Bom-Ombs battlefield then switch to Whomps Fortress and so on. Get 10 stars and go beat Bowser and unlock another 3-5 levels you can do in any order. Same in Sunshine and in both games you don't even have to complete or even enter a level if you choose to clear the game.
In the Galaxy games you are forced to complete each level aside a few branching paths here and their and a skip or two in order to progress to the next stage and levels
Super Mario World was a weak sequel to SMB3 and the DKC games are retardedly overrated.
Kirby Super Star is a 10/10, though.
>>330356150
>In 64 you can go from level to level if you get stars
> you can do the same thing in Galaxy
