tell me a really GOOD platformer , but :

>It must be a pure platform game, not a hybrid like Mega Man.

If this is a request for recommendations, you should check out Clockwork Knight on the Saturn. Though that might be a hybrid by your definition.

Some other good ones: Klonoa, Yume Penguin Monogatari, Little Nemo, Bio Miracle Bokkute Upa.

Lots of good stuff out there.

Secret Agent. It's very simple, but original. The levels are bizarre 90s cartoon style, kinda like doodles some 11 year old kid would draw in the corner of a math test. Good responsive controls, great variety of enemies, fair but challenging, and lots of huuuuge levels with nice variety of themes.

Only downside is the sounds, The sound effects are pretty basic bleeps and bloops, there is no music soundtrack at all.

Any Konami or Capcom licensed platformer from the 80s/90s are god-tier.

Chip & Dale, Ducktales, all the mickey Magical Adventure games, all these Capcom games are god-tier platformers.
Also Aladdin, I don't want to start the typical sega VS nintendo aladdin fight, but I always considered the Capcom Aladdin the better game because it has tight as fuck controls and level design, it's heavily centered toward acrobatics and momentum, while the Virgin game on Genesis is a lot more similar to Earthworm Jim, instead you use a sword instead of a gun. Still a good game, but Capcom's Aladdin is the superior platformer IMHO.

Also, Sega's classic licensed disney games are all 10/10 platformers: Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion must be mentioned in this thread, also Quackshot.

How is Joust a platformer? It's more like a fighting game, close to early version of something like Smash bros. I mean, everything else on that list is great and I love some love for Metal Storm, just saying, Joust is less about traversing the world with difficulty and more about defeating your opponents by flying into them in a specific way.

i disagree. the first sonic is my favorite specifically because of its emphasis on platforming and not just 'SPEEDLAMO'. it is really good, it has momentum, something not many other games got right, and a lot of its own gimmicks which were found in literally zero other platformers.

Not him, but in terms of actual platforming, I hate Sonic's way too slow acceleration. It was just annoying when doing precision platforming.

Crash Bandicoot is the platformer with perfect acceleration for me. I don't know why people think Crash reaches his top speed instantly. It's fast, but not instant.

So, let me get this straight. If the platformer has a character that doesn't have a means of ejecting a projectile from the beginning, it's not a run and gun?

Like Super Mario Bros. has Mario without such a thing but when he gets a fire flower he can fire fireballs.

The other 2 Wario Lands besides the main 4 are pretty good, too.

The main problem with Wario Land 3 was the amount of backtracking involved. You'd have to re-visit stages with new equipment a lot, with 4 treasures per stage. Also, the lack of death throughout most of the game made it so that most punishments meant being slowed down or forced to repeat a part of the stage; while not as bad as death, the fact that you could re-try immediately made some obstacles a bit harder to pass as a result, IIRC, and a bit more frustrating.

Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time was pretty damn good.

I suggest you to try it even if it's an "hybrid".
(I'm posting this 'cause you mentioned Rayman as an exception which fits in the requirements you imposed for the suggestions thread)

I hate how you have a large lifebar but everything in the last levels kill you in one hit. Other than that great game, they were inspired by Earthworm Jim's animation and production values. It plays nothing like the original though, I remember some magazines of the time criticizing that.

I'm not talking concept I'm just talking design. It's a bit more than just the Arabian nights setting even Shantae's face is very similar to the Monster World cover art character design style. I'd be pretty surprised to hear the team behind Shantae never played the Monster World series.
