>>729651771What's the difference between an action platformer and a metroidvania? Or between a platformer (e.g. Mario, Kirby) and an action platformer?Picrel because legit asking.

>>729658496Mario is a pure platformer because jumping is eveything. You attack enemies by jumping, you defeat bosses (usually) by jumping, and the entire game is built around jumping challenges.Action platformers have platforming areas, but usually are more focused around combat. You attack enemies, not jump on them. You fight bosses with actual attacks and such. I'd actually consider Kirby more of an action platormer than a pure platformer because of this.Metroidvanias are usually action platformers but their structure is fundamentally changed. Instead of just a serious of linear stages/levels it's usually one big world with progress locked behind movement/attack upgrades. Like double jumps, or dashes, or specific attack types. You explore as far as you can, unlock a new ability, then use that ability to explore other areas, and repeat.There are definitely overlaps between them though.
