Top 10 Best 3D Platformer Games of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Super Mario Galaxy 2

Mario 64 was great. It was nostalgic. But I like this better. Best 3d mario game. I will probably forever think that mario world is the best mario game. And the best game in general.

Super Mario galaxy 2 is not my favorite platformer. But all the platformers I like more then this are for some reason not on here so I picked this.

The soundtrack is phenomenal, and so are the level gimmicks!

2 Banjo-Kazooie

By far, my #1 favorite game, of all genres, of all time (With Banjo-Tooie and The Last of Us in 2nd and 3rd place). I got this game on the N64 for my 11th birthday in August of 1998, fell in love with it then, and still adore it to this day.

I just absolutely LOVE this game. From the well written and funny dialogue, amazing graphics for its time (its honestly still a gorgeous game), memorable characters, well designed worlds, solid gameplay, memorable and beautiful music... The N64 game was amazing, and the Xbox 360 port made it perfect. There is so much to love here. Highly recommended!

3 Super Mario Galaxy

This is super mario Galaxy the best mario game ever!

4 Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped

This was one of the first games I played. Honestly it is still unmatchable. I played through Super Mario 64, and that was good. But this, THIS was REaLLy good. It's so good because, like original Mario games, it's just levels, only in 3D. Plus, the enemies, environments, cartoonish insanity, and magnificent, fun levels all made it such a great and awesome game.

So many people grew up with this amazing game and character! Sure, Mario64 deserves the top spot for practically revolutionising video games in general, but it was Crash who perfected it and improved it in many ways! Crash & Mario are both legends! :D

5 Spyro: Year of the Dragon

Without a doubt the best 3D platformer I've ever played. It has beautiful presentation, every world you visit is absolutely wonderful. The soundtrack is amazing. There is so much variety in the gameplay. There are even new playable characters and they are all just as fun to play as Spyro. The bosses are great and there are a ton of collectibles to keep you playing the game for several hours. Such a fantastic game.

Perfect from top to bottom, Spyro: Year Of The Dragon is utterly magnificent in every single way, with perfectly balanced gameplay, an enormous amount of mission variety and creative, unforgettable levels. Even if its pretty dated-looking cutscenes continue to be incredible charming.

6 Super Mario 64

Great, memorable music, good graphics for the time, levels made to be replayable and are like small open worlds that you can just run around in with the amazing movement mechanics that feel great. Incredibly fun atmosphere and the controls. The controls are amazing with any controller and the movement systems all link together beautifully to make some of the best speed runs of any game. They're easy to get a grip on but takes time to master them.. Only problem with it is that it was the first of its kind so it didn't invent too many new level mechanics such as something like Mario galaxy does.

7 Conker's Bad Fur Day

The only game on this list that features a segment that involves collecting pacifist bees to tickle a particularly large breasted sunflower so that you can distract her and bounce on her boobs to collect a wodge of cash.

I remember one time my mom almost bought me this game on the xbox but I was so disappointed it was rated Mature, but now I can see why they rated it M.

Rare's best game and one of my favorite games of all time.

8 SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom
9 Super Mario Sunshine

Why is stupid galaxy above this masterpiece?

10 Tomb Raider
The Contenders
11 Banjo-Tooie
12 LittleBigPlanet
13 Rayman 2: The Great Escape

This was to my memory at least the first platformer I had ever played started with the crappy PS1 port but I didn't know ant different back then so I loved it the I got Rayman Revolution and man that was a step up. Loved Rayman ever since less said about the Rabbids the better I thought Minions were bad.

This has to be higher up. Good controls, good music, good atmosphere, and the goods keep on coming

Great game. Sadly, it doesn't seem like it had many (if any) good ports...

14 Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal

No other game in the world could ever match the badassary provided in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Everything in this game is flawless. Story is great, controls are tight, weapons have a ton of variety and make the gameplay intense, and even the games on-line multiplayer is phenomenal (it's still being played to do this day! ). Mario and Jak are good, but this is KICK-ASS!

Epic Weapons. Epic universe. Epic Experience Upgrade system. Everything about this games is epic. Tons of stuff to do whether participating in arena battles to get extra bolts and experience. You can explore planets looking for some titanium bolts. Areas previously inaccessible with gadgets obtained later on. Pretty cool. And the story is hilarious at every cutscene, and Good ol Captain Qwark in here too. (As well as the Plumber)

15 Super Mario Odyssey

Pretty shocking to see it so far away from the top ten.

16 Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
17 Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

This Game has one advantage over every other entry in this list, NO LOAD TIMES! Plus it has phenomenal controls and tons of collectables in a large open world to explore with your own wits.

Favorite video game of all time. Beautiful open world and great controls. Not too much of a challenge but extremely fun, with exotic characters

My all time Favorite game with likable characters, named my dog after Daxter.

18 Jumping Flash!
19 LittleBigPlanet 2
20 Donkey Kong 64
21 Super Mario 64 DS
22 Sonic Adventure

So many childhood memories! It was an extremely cringy game, even as a kid, but I think it's vibrant environments and presentation deserve some credit.

Sonic Colours and Generations are better Sonic games than these!

One of the best Sonic Games out there
It has awesome level design, good handle physics, good story and just awesome music
Yes, Big and Amy are no good, but they are short, so this is not as much as a problem

23 Super Mario 3D Land
24 Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
25 Tomb Raider: Legend
