About Platformer games
Platformers were the signature genre of retro consoles. Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World set the standard for level design on Nintendo systems, while Sega answered with the speed of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Capcom's Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X added weapon-stealing boss fights, and Rare's Donkey Kong Country wowed players with pre-rendered graphics.
The genre also produced many great licensed games, like DuckTales, Aladdin and The Lion King. On the go, try handheld platformers like Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and Kirby's Dream Land, or see our action collection for more.
