Best snes platformers?

Sad Professor

Any opinions, recommendations? I just finished the 3 Donkey Kong Country games, which I loved, anything along similar lines?

LoGiE

Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Earthworm Jim
Tiny Toon Adventures
Super Star Wars
Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back
Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
Lethal Weapon
Metroid (kinda)

Off the top of my head...There's plenty to choose from.

Alladin

Not sure why, but DKC feels like a fairly unique platformer... not sure what else you could check out that's along the same lines.
Yoshi's Island & Super Mario World are a great place to start though

Funnily enough, DKC was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread's title... fantastic game:)

Check out Super Bonk for ultimate platform goodness.

Give Plok! a blast. Sparkster as well.

Or find a Mega drive and play the platform games on that instead

There are six Sonic games which are all excellent. Many other great pretty unknown ones such as Ristar.

Might not have as many colours on screen, but a faster processor, so much faster game speed. Always why I found the Sonic series more fun then Mario.

(Well, the 16 bit versions, after that Sonic games got very...very very..veeeeeery bad)

I always thought the first 3 sonic games were great then the franchise took a downward turn. Sonic the fighers was an alright arcade thats emulated by nebula if anyone hasn't played it.

Bubsy was a disgrace of epic proportions.

Seconded, probably one of my favourite 2d platformers. I always found mario a bit boring but alladin was exciting the whole way through.

Bah. Go off & complete Yoshi's Island -- and then start speedrunning DKC games

The first wasn't that bad but they did get steadily worse:)

The Mega Drive version of Aladdin was superior imo. I must fire both up again and take another look
