When did 2d platformers peak?

Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES

Sonic 2

It's one of those genres that was pretty much perfected decades ago during the 16 bit era. Not much has changed with them when an actually new one is made. Sonic Mania could have been done on the genesis for instance, just on a lower fidelity. It feels as if all of the experimentation and gameplay advancements of 2d platformers ended in the 90s. So I would say they peaked during that era.

Super mario world is superior in every way

Celeste.
It is a game about literally climbing a peak but it is actually a metaphor for the struggles of being transexual

Good counter argument.

This post got me thinking. Can you come up with a platform mechanic not done before? Examples of existing ones:
>platform falls/crumbles when you touch it
>platform starts moving when you touch it
>platform moves and you slide away and have to move with it
>platform appears and disappears periodically
>platform appears or disappears when you press the jump button
I took them all from mario, may be present in other games

mario 3.

Probably SNES with MMX.

PS1 and further MMX games feel like shit to play compared to the first 3.

X2 > X1

reading comprehension.

SMB 3 was the peak
Yoshi's Island was the swan song

Dkc

yoshi island super mario world 2

having you guys been living under a rock?
New Rayman and DK Tropical Freeze were both phenomenal
2D platformers are still peaking, just less room for innovation.

I want a good 2.5D platformer though

>implying 2d platformer = pinnacle of gaming
lmao

Not a a criticism of the gameplay.

DKC2 was perfection.

Rayman Legends and DKC Tropical Freeze are the best 2D platformers of the 21st century and will never be topped.
