Well it would be top 50, you choose 10 to vote with.A top 10 list for essential platformers would be boring. A top 50 list like the RPG thread, however, could be a lot more interesting. Once everybody gets the expected Mario titles out of their system, there would be a lot to explore and discuss. I would make a pretty strong case for Super Meat Boy, VVVVVV, and some other titles that don't have the word Mario in them.
A top 10 overall would be a pretty lame operation and hardly the grand undertaking worthy of an Essentials thread.
I was once told it was the best Mario game since SMG2, that was an odd day here on GAF.Well, that might have to apply to some other series as well... coughsoniccough... nah, I'd probably pick one and then add another as an honourable mention.
It was? I never really looked at that game as a platformer. It has platforming elements but I'd classify it as an adventure/experience game.
Some other series you say? yes of course that sounds fair, everyone needs to vote for their 3D....Castlevanias!
Okay Sonic.
