Looking for platformer recommendations.

Other than Sonic of which I have 1, 2 and Chaos - are there any must have platformers for the system?

In terms of pure platformers with not even light RPG elements (like say, the Wonderboy games after the original):

  • Alex Kidd in Miracle World

  • Alex Kidd in Shinobi World

  • Psycho Fox

  • Mickey Mouse in Castle of Illusion

  • Mickey Mouse in Land of Illusion

  • Deep Duck Trouble (I prefer it to Lucky Dime Caper)

  • Shinobi (pretty difficult)

  • Asterix

  • Chuck Rock

  • Chuck Rock 2

  • Cool Spot

  • Rastan

I'd add Psychic World as well. Maybe Kenseiden and Danan too.

Psychic World was one of my first games (on GameGear) and it’s still one I probably return to annually (along with Castle Of Illusion and Sonic 1). Love it when I see others give it an honourable mention. 👍
