Top 10 3D Platformers 

Anyone noticed that his videos are oddly paced.

The teams who developed these games are masters of their craft.

Among my favorite 3D platformers are: Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 and 3 on PS3, Sonic Adventure on the Sega Dreamcast, and Sly Cooper on PS3 with all of its twists and turns.

Id have to say Mario Galaxy is better then two, not saying I didn’t like the game but for me 1 felt more grand and that you where in space

DK64 is fantastic, and I'm glad to literally have a single pundit still celebrating it

Tinykin is such a fun 3d platformrr too, that doesn't get spoken about enough

Surprised Rayman 2 didn't make this list, not a collectathon tho.

#1 Conkers Bad Fur Day

What is the game at 2:35?

Rayman 2

Spider-Man needs a Spyro and a Rachet outfit. :p

Good project

Astro playroom's fun and the VR too

Test

Sonic adventure 2 was GOLD 🔥

always love your top ten

Solid top 10 but… Banjo will always be #1 for me

Rift apart doesn’t hold a candle to the OG trilogy or even the first two future games

Banjo Tooie for me, such an improvement

How do they have less views than when it was first posted??

Keep it up!

Fun platformers!

DK64 is the best game ever made I'll fight everyone! I got coconuts right here!

Glover. Its a trashfire, but its MY trashfire

Solid top10

Ty for making vids man, really helps me get through my day.

Very based picks

Bummer that Lara Croft didn't make the list (it totally counts as a Platformer).

The entire original Spyro trilogy was excellent. Also the first game on the list I actually played.

Psychonauts is up there as one of my all time favorite 3D platformers, the amount of variety in that game is virtually unmatched, plus it has some of the best writing this genre has ever seen.

DK64 is my number 1

Like the list

we're overdue for a new donkey kong country tho

Great list

Ape Escape is the most underrated 3D platformer. DK64 being here instead of AE is crazy

Pacman world 2 deserved an honorable mention at the very least.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not only my favorite 3D Platformer, it’s my favorite game of all time

Super Mario Galaxy is my no.1 of all time and i also love Jak 1 as well

Banjo Tooie is my personal number 1.

Cool tier list.

Sly Cooper, that is all

That awkward moment when you come here for recommendations and you’ve already played all the games on list

What’s the deal with the thumbnails? EDIT: can someone explain what’s going on!? I feel like people are being intentionally vague

Go recomplete dead cells theyre releasing last dlc

Are you ever gonna do Elden ring?

sly cooper?

Sly Cooper 2 and Sonic Adventure 2 are my personal favorites. And I think Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is a bit underrated too.

Psychonauts 2 not being on this list is criminal!! 😭

Bots?

DK64 is the goat!!!

Rift Apart as Ratchet and Clank's best??? Have you played Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time? It's better in every way.

Solid top ten! I like it! Personally, I would’ve put Mario Sunshine somewhere in there. But I really enjoyed watching! Good stuff!

What's blowma?

Great choices!

:3

I've been interested in quite a few of the games on this list for a while, but like so many others, they've fallen into my ever growing "I'll get to it later" list. Super Mario Odyssey definitely sits firmly on that list, despite how many people I've seen do full play throughs of it. I'm also glad Donkey Kong 64 managed to make the list, as it's one I spent an eternity on back in the day, long before the advent of readily available internet guides and such, even if it didn't feel the most rewarding to 100% by the end of it, I still loved running around in its wide and varied worlds. All and all though, quite the good list. Looking forward to the next vid, man.

Can't believe yooka laylee didn't make the indy slot

You would not think that games centered around jumping would be so fundamental to an industry, but they certainly are.

#10 Bomberman Hero #9 Mario 64 #8 Sonic Adventure #7 Spyro 2 #6 Mario Galaxy #5 Banjo Tooie #4 Banjo Kazooie #3 Donkey Kong 64 #2 Mario Odyssey #1 Rayman 2 The Great Escape N64/DC versions.

love this episode! remember all these games from my childhood 🎉

hi there and how are you doing?

#9. What was that first bit? It looked like a different game.

A list like this needs to be top 20! Surprised it wasn't harder to pick

Am I crazy for thinking Mario 64 is better than Mario Odyssey and is the GOAT platformer?

For me, Kirby and the Forgotten land has deserved a spot on my list. It has taken a long long time for Kirby to make the jump to 3D; but to do it so flawlessly is a testament to how fundamentally fun and flexible the core Kirby formula is.

It took me years to get to it (like last year) but I finally tried both Banjo games on the 64 and it is true. They are stellar and I adore them. I personally actually like Tooie ever so slightly better, just because it did so much more than Banjo-Kazooie, which is all I wanted. More Banjo. 😁

Psychonauts 2 is my #1

If you haven't already played it, I'd say check out the charming little 3d platformer that is Tinykin!

Super Mario 3D World is better than Odyssey.

Is it possible of getting a more modern top 10 iv just wishlisted a hat in time most of the selections are unavailable to play on modern consoles and I love a 3d platformer platinum i have just finished kao and started bang on balls

💪

You added a hat of time into the list, and I am grateful. Ere you go bud have a like 👍 on the house.

That Completionist top 10 transition song is classic.

I'm not much of a 3d platforrmer guy besides mario so I guess mine would be 1. Super Mario 3D World 2. Super Mario Odyssey 3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 4. Super Mario Galaxy 5. Mario 64 (nostalgia wise I'd put it at #1) 6. Super Mario Sunshine 7. Bomberman 64 I really hated the Crash Bandicoot and Croc games I played, so I won't add them.

Would Jet Force Gemini count as a 3D platformer? I know it's normally a 3rd person shooter, but I remember it having a lot platforming as well as it's own collectibles, if it does I'd say that's one of my favorites along side Mario Sunshine, Banjo Kazooie, and CBFD.

Hi

I haven't played any of the Nintendo ones, but I've played a ton of 3D platformers and love the genre. The ones that have stood out to me the most are, in ranked order: 1) Psychonauts 2 2) Spyro Year of the Dragon (Reignited) 3) Tinykin

10. Sonic adventure 2 9. Jak and dexter 8. Crash bandicoot 4 7. Mario galaxy 6. Banjo Kazooie 5. Psyconuts 4. A hat and time 3. Mario 64 2. Spyro 1 1. A hat and time

10. Shadow the Hedgehog 9. Skylander: Spyro’s Adventure (3DS) 8. Super Mario 3D Land 7. Super Mario 64 6. Snake Pass 5. Astro’s Playroom 4. Sonic Colors 3. Jak & Daxter 2. Super Mario Galaxy 1. Super Mario 3D World

DK 64 was great. We need a new 3D DK game

Hot take, but Sly Cooper > Ratchet and Clank

Conker's Bad Fur Day is most appropriate.

I feel one of the Mario slots could have been filled by a Kirby game (Forgotten Land was AMAZING) but it makes sense due to how genre defining Mario has become.

Hell Pie is great for anyone looking for something new

Sonic adventure two battle was my favorite game as a teenager.

20. SpongeBob Battle For Bikini Bottom 19. Croc Legend of the Gobbos 18. Gex Enter the Gecko 17. Toy Story 2 16. Bomberman 64 15. Rayman 2 (Dreamcast version) 14. Ape Escape 3 13. Sonic Frontiers 12. A Hat in Time 11. Jak 3 10. Conker’s Bad Fur Day 9. Donkey Kong 64 8. Crash Bandicoot WAAAAAARPED!!! (That’s how you say it) 7. Prince of Persia The Sands of Time 6. Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack in Time 5. Kirby and the Forgotten Land 4. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Psychonauts 2 2. Banjo Kazooie 1. Spyro 2 Ripto’s Rage

My all time favorite platformer is Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

Hi Completionist My top 10 3D platformers is: 1. Sly Cooper 2: Band of Thieves 2. Sly Cooper 3: Honor Among Thieves 3. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus 4. Super Mario Odyssey 5. Super Mario Galaxy 6. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake 7. Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped 8. SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated 9. New Super Lucky's Tale 10. Ratchet and Clank

I need a PS5 so I can play Rift Apart ( not to mention Spider-Man 2 and the upcoming Wolverine.... ).

5:01 And what did Toy's for bob get out of this? After being bought by ActiBlizzKing there are now rumour of a massive layoff and studio closure for them... God dammit Videogames Industry...>.

Gotta agree about donkey Kong 64. Loved it as a kid but just couldn’t get through it when I played recently. The camera was just too wonky I’d definitely play it if we got a remaster

Ok, so I have lost some trust in Jarred but I will still enjoy the videos for what they are bes cause if we take the person away from them, there pretty good and have been so for years.

I like donkey Kong 64 but I never completed but I did finish it once.

I've actually never played Spyro...

I really love Rift Apart. Unfortunately it just feels so short and to me doesn't have the replayability I wish it did.

When my girlfriend and I played Sonic Adventure 2 together, she only knew Shadow as a laughing stock. At the end of the game she absolutely loved his character.

I think dk 64 belongs higher on the list

While I'm in agreement with you on many of these titles, the lack of both Psychonauts 1 & 2 feels like a personal slight. How dare you! :P #1 Psychonauts 2 #2 Banjo-Kazooie #3 A Hat in Time #4 Super Mario Odyssey #5 Spyro: Reignited Trilogy #6 Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart #7 Psychonauts #8 Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back #9 It Takes Two #10 Croc: Legend of the Gobbos #11 Pumpkin Jack

Mario 64 took collection platformers to 3D, and it pioneered a lot of the standards, but it _is_ super short, and pretty much all of its successors offer more variety and fun. It's iconic and important, but I wouldn't say that it's one of the best. Maybe an honorable mention.

I'm still waiting for Donkey Kong 64 to come to Nintendo Switch Online 😭 Like I have it on Nintendo 64 already, but I want that portability and HD-ness, baby!~
