TwoDashStash: "So, let me first make it clear what I mean by “best” within the context of this article. These games are ones that are best from a purely platforming perspective. Tight controls, levels that are challenging (when it comes to platforming, and not say…puzzles). Anything else is secondary and only used as a tie-breaker between them. A good platformer with a great story will not rate higher than a great platformer with no story. It’s also worth noting that I like my platformers like I like my coffee: fast and deadly."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "During my time at PAX East, Sorlie walked me through two titles: the original Bubsy on SNES (his personal favorite) and the now infamous Bubsy 3D, the franchise's first foray into three dimensions. Each game in the anthology will feature the quality-of-life features common to Limited Run's Carbon Engine, including rewind, save states, screen & filter options, and even an optional "boost mode" that overclocks the system slightly to remove slowdown."
My one friend and I loved Bubsy 1. We used to compare him to Sonic all the time. So with us and the one person from this article it has at least three fans. 🤣
I was so lucky as a kid my parents convinced me to rent Busby 3d first because I was full steam ahead on buying it with my pocket money based on the advertising alone.

In which our intrepid hero teams up with an iconic space pirate...for better or worse.
But then this guy would've made an obscure Spin Doctor's reference, and no one wants that.
Super Meatboy is a really great game, i got it for 75 cents off steam
Limbo should be on that list.
