Alright /vr/ I wanna do a mascot platformer marathon, what are some games that I should include on my list. I already downloaded the Crash, Spyro and Sly Cooper games. Not including Donkey Kong or Sonic as I already beat their catalogue of games.
>>
Some Bonk for the TG-16. I suggest Bonk's Revenge.
>>
>>11103392
Fuck off with this retarded term, they're just called platformers
>>
>>11103403
damn this looks pretty good can't believe I've never heard of Bonk before.

Play Klonoa!

>>11103410
I was just gonna suggest some Klonoa.

The Shantae game on the GBA.
>>
Rayman 2 (and the first Rayman if you're up to it)
If Puggsy counts then go for it too
>>
>>11103392

Play Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, it's the most insane mascot platformer of the 90s, and it's actually a good game.
It's a spin off of Aero the Acro-bat, which has 2 rather average games, though the secon one was good.
>>
>>11103751
Rayman Redemption too, if you want a modern take.
>>
>>11103392
hey you made a mistake, you were supposed to say Willy Formers

N64 Bomberman games!

I'm not sure if it counts, but before Sonic, one of SEGA's attempts at having their own Mario... was to just license Disney's mascots, Castle of Illusion came out in 1990 and it's among the best Mega Drive platformers, it still holds up and I seriously can't recommend it enough for platformer fans.

Are there any other games that call "lives" something unique like this?

Asterix has too many games on master system, megadrive, gamegear, psx and ps2, I guess some of them would be plataformers.

Indeed, all of the Disney/SEGA stuff was good, it was a great partnership, just like Disney/Capcom. Disney fans were lucky in the 90's, excellent stuff.
