Phil writes, "A genre so nice and enjoyable that it annually gets its own awards category here as the SuperPhillip Central Best of 2020 Awards continue! It's the platformer, my personal favorite genre of game, so if there were any other type of game that deserved its own category, I just don't see it! Fortunately, despite 2020 being a gnarly year in general, it was a fantastic year for platformers, as evident by this upcoming countdown. The genre sees more and more releases, and plenty of them are terrific. Here's hoping the platformer renaissance continues into 2021! For now, let's take a look back at the year that was with the Top Five Platformers of 2020!"

Good list, and kudos to having a list-article where everything is listed on 1 page.
Nine Sols looks nice, and also a bit similar in style to Bo, Path of the Teal Lotus, which should also be a good game (picked it up a few weeks ago but haven't played it myself yet ... )

Nsane numbers. Can we not get a current patch for the trilogy and CTR 60fps and/or 4K? And might as well release a PC port for NF while you're at it, make it happen!
It was the other day I was thinking of picking up crash team racing because I like kart racers like Mario kart and Team Sonic Racing, but I was shocked to find out that Crash team racing is still 30 fps.
Astro’s Playground
Astro's Playroom, easily. What a great and innovative platformer. Really hope Sony continues this franchise and makes more Astro games.
Ori by a country mile. The art style music and super tight controls make it like a game above and beyond any platformer I’ve played before
Astro, crash 4, Ori and sackboy all pretty impressive for a supposedly dead genre.
I wouldn't really count the Mario collection as the games were re releases but it's incredible still
On a side note Spyro 4 possibly coming next year
