2D: Super Mario World. It just plays smooth af. Pretty close to a perfect videogame.

3D: Rayman 2. Platformers usually have a colorful and happy world. Rayman might still be colorful, but it stands out because it’s kinda grim. Gameplay wise… I should replay it, because I’m not actually sure anymore. I think all 3D platformers of this time could be a little bit janky. I remember there were some frustrating parts, at least for a kid.

Mario and Zelda are the obvious answer, but Golf Story would be my answer as well. It’s sad that the sequel sucks (never tried it) and that the series never made it to other platforms.
