Comments

Kieran M

What is a platforming level or part of a level that made you furious?

Dodsy

Who can jump higher out of you all?

Travis Bursik

This topic comes up a lot when people talk about metroidvanias. Contact damage or no?

Adam

What platformers have you been recommended for How Did This Get Played that you refuse to subject yourself to?

Spooky Luke

What would you do with the ability to double jump in real life?

Armando

Are there any video game franchises that began as a 2D platformer, and, in your opinion, should've stayed that way?

Spooky Luke

Most people think of 2D platformers, but there were a handful of incredibly successful 3D platformers. Which franchise do you think did the best job adapting to the 3rd dimension (e.g. Mario 64, Psychonauts, Bubsy 3D)

Mattsket Case

Which non-platformer game has the worst platforming mechanics? For example: any time I have to jump over any kind of gap in Expedition 33 I question my love for the game. It sucks! Don't make me do that!

TV's Kevin Lanigan

What is your Platform Level Heaven and what is your Platform Level Se7en (a movie about sin so it is down in hell)?

robotZee

I rented Cool Spot and James Pond because somehow the Genesis art spoke to me. Which platformer did you play that you picked from the box art alone?

Tom Emery

What are your favourite platformers outside of the genre, eg action games, FPSs or otherwise that have platforming elements?

Michael Pemulis

What's more satisfying: double jumping, wall climbing, or being impaled in a pit of spikes?

BlueWRXDriver

If there was a Super Mario Brothers 2 (Doki Doki Panic) style game that used Heather, Matt, Nick, and Ranch as playable characters, what would your unique abilities be?

OneCarPileup

Is there another platformer you'd like to see get the Shovel Knight treatment? The same levels but multiple games focusing on different styles to traverse them

Page for Founder Status

So many animal platformer mascots, but so many left to explore! What creature, real or mythical, would you want to see as the face of a new platformer, and what would the game be like?

Daniel Nash

You’ve woken up to find your life is a platformer. Your everyday errands are now themed levels: Grass level (world1-1, easy breezy), water level (not super hard, but you’re out of your usual element), and lava dungeon (a wrong step can leave you cooked). What errand would you assign to each level type?

Duke Lion

What's the best traversal tool for a platformer? You going jetpack, double-jump, or something else?

Giuliano B

How likely is it we hear a BUBSY 4D episode….

Brian Kelly

Is the feel of jumping in a platformer the most crucial mechanic in any genre?

wampireveekend

Nick: Which H game platformer does the jiggle physics best?

Tom White

First person platforming? Yes or no

John Jurries Art

Prince of Persia surprised everyone by releasing one of the best Matroidvania games ever recently, my question is what established platformer series you'd like to see either as a Metroidvania or a rougelite?

Jeff Stacey

Should double jump now be the standard?

ChiliDogPotato

What would be the most convenient platformer power-up to have IRL?

Tyler Long

Who is your favorite Little Guy in any platformer

sixwire

If you designed a platformer, what powers would the character have?

XRedGambit

What is the best platform to jump off of?

Joel Harper

Which franchise leads itself most to a platformer spin off game?

Deacon Raid

When was the last time you jumped across/over/through something in real life? Any climbing or other exotic methods of traversal?

Joel Pelanne

If your body had to keep moving for like 3-5 centimeters after you stop as though you were in an ice biome OR you had to do a full "AH-WAH-HAH-HAH-HAH" Mario freakout every time you encountered a hot temperature (slightly too hot bath water and above) which would you choose?

Spooky Luke

Which platformer franchise would you like to see deplatformed?

Ross McCarthy

Which character has the least justification for not just walking where they need to to freaking go?

parenthesesONE

Alternate timeline question. Astrobot but released in 1999 and Mario 64 but released in 2026. Which is better?

Ribby Tuesdays

What song(s) would you choose for your character to platform to a la Rayman Legends.

Deacon Raid

What item would you collect 100 of to get an extra life?

Rebecca Moretti

what's the most stressful part about a platformer to you? count down music, ground falling away beneath you, impossible jump, etc...

Paul J Larkin

Astro Bot clearly has a lot of Mario in his DNA and incorporated features and mechanics from Mario’s 40+ years of games. How about the reverse? What lessons from Astro Bot do you think Nintendo could take to improve future Mario games?

OneMurillo

If you could add any mechanics from other video game genres to make your perfect platformer (3D or 2D) what would they be?

Ryan BTZ

What would a Pokemon 2D platformer look like?

Garren Glore

With the announcement of the Rayman Legends remake in a 2.5D aesthetic, what other platforming games/characters do you want to see in that style?

Jason Reichert

In the vein of Super Mario Bros 2, what would each of your secret abilities be?

thehobknoblin

What is a plat and how did it form?

Scott Jackson

What are your thoughts on the trend of low-spec indie co-op games like Peak and Repo? I know there are detractors but as a gamer in their 30s, Ive come to appreciate having an activity where the point is to have a fun time with your friends. I've honestly never laughed more playing a game. (Also this is unrelated but I have an answer for Heather's question about why nobody makes new CRT TVs-- it's because the CRT, cathode ray tube, that forms the image is the result of a huge industrial ecosystem involving specialized glass, phosphors, vacuum tube manufacturing, and high voltage electronics that mostly doesn't exist anymore. Without this array of industries, a brand new bespoke CRT in 2026 would cost thousands of dollars a pop.)

hascat

What platformer do you think you could win in real life?

Cameron Morris

Who is the greatest platformer? Joe Rogan?

Rob

Which character has the most satisfying jump?

anotherunluckyone

Arcade Etiquette question: I love Street Fighter, MvC, etc. but I absolutely suck at them. I still plop in a quarter or token when I come across a cabinet and play the computer and relish the experience... right until someone kicks in a quarter on the other player and immediately destroys me and my fun ends. So should people ask before joining? Is playing a fighting game an open invitation for competition?

Rational Knife

Could assassins creed and other games with those similar mechanics be considered a platformer?

jbuck2112

Matt, what is your current stance on "space is better than old?"

jbuck2112

As a gift, someone has given you a voucher for a rented-out movie theater for you to play a single-player game. What are you playin'? Same question, but for local multiplayer? No one has to watch, so if you want to play Hunie Pop 2: Double Date, go wild.

jbuck2112

Super Metroid Samus Screw attack

jbuck2112

Is Tomb Raider a platformer? How about Clair Obscur?

Spooky Luke

Games like Mario or Sonic where you jump on platforms.

BiPolarBear

Has there ever been a good ice level?

Zachary H

What's the worst platformer you've played that continues to hold a place in your heart? Sincerely, someone who picked up Wild 9 (PS1) for the 64th time this week

Cole Carroll

What is your favorite coop platforms. I recently played through super mario galaxy 2 with my wife who is a casual gamer and she really enjoyed the 2nd player assist mode that game offers. Also what is the best platforms boss fight?

Troy D Kemp

Do any of you have fond memories of Mystical Ninja 64 and/or it's sequel? If so have you played Bakeru for the Switch or PC? The "I Am Impact" theme from Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is one of the greatest songs and hype videos for a boss fight in any game ever.

Frankie Salamone

Nick, Matt, did either of you ever end up playing Like A Dragon Yakuza Pirates? You both seemed excited for it and I don’t remember hearing a follow up. I had a blast playing it, especially segwaying around Hawaii and snapping pictures. After Matt’s recent trip, it may be something to look into.

Aaron Smith

What childhood movie of yours would you want as a video game platformer? Me: I would like a series of games on the Ernest movies. PS: I made the joke about a movie tie-in game for The Adventures of Milo and Otis. Well… there’s an actual video game for it. The Japanese version of the movie, “The Adventures of Chatran”, had a game on the Famicom Disk System. 😂

Anthony Lerma

Who would you trap in a platformer? Specifically which one?

James Acosta

What are some of your favorite things about platformers?

Kyle Streicher

How does double jumping actually work in a theoretical physics sense?

Andy Hunter

How many other mechanics does a game need to have before you no longer consider it a platformer? For example, the 2D Metroid games superficially have platformer mechanics like movement and jumping, but we think of them differently than Mario.

Devan Golden

Is Returnal a rouge-like platformer metroidvania? Also Cubes 2 please

George E. Schneider

Love that game, played it so much as a kid, but only the first like 3 levels cause I sucked so hard on that 3rd one. It was only a couple years ago that I finally got past it, and then I died almost immediately and had to stop, but had no memory card😞. Haven't played it since. Still love it though, such a weird and unsettling aesthetics (AKA my aesthetic lol).

George E. Schneider

Two questions: 1. What's the difference between a side-scroller and a platformer, if there even is one? 2. What are y'alls favorite 3D-platformer mascot character(s) (can pick multiple from same franchise if applicable)?

Benjamin

If you were strapped to a chair and forced to speedrun a platformer, which you would you choose? (The chair has a hole for your balls to be smacked)

Dangalf

It's hard to dispute that the best platformers are Mario games. He's been around since 1981's Donkey Kong. Got his first starring role in 1985 and has been a leading man in platformers ever since. Anyway my question is what did you have for dinner last night?

Bill B

What is one platformer that you wanted to be good, but just fell short, and how would you fix it?

P.N. Guin

How do you protect thumbs from blisters and your wrists from carpal tunnel on the super intense precision platformers? I get sucked in and by the time I'm done I need to take a few days' break

Bill B

In your personal opinions, what makes for the perfect platformer?

Squirt Russell

In the real world, would you rather have the ability to air dash or double jump?

Raz

What's the most plausible double jump technique?

JoeDLC

What's at the bottom of 'dem pits? Is there a bottom? Is it always spikes?

Ryan Martin

Favorite power-up in any platform game?

Katie Muse

Heather: Who should be able to run faster, your little guy in a platformer or your playable character in an RPG?

Papa B Poppin

Have you played Gravity Circuit? Mega Man inspired platformer with AMAZING traversal options And it's currently FREE on Steam!! So if you haven't, go snag it now!! Highly recommended game 😁

Dr. Pepper (for mama)

Princess Peach float. SMB2. Ninja Gaiden for NES also incredible.

Devan Golden

Cube 2 the cubening if you were a cube how would you cube the other players wether it be the first resident evil movie and you laser cube them or would you Mortal Kombat fatality cube them how would you best cube an opponent given endless means of cubing?

Jake Smith

Heather, need to bike the great Allegheny passage and the C & O. You can bike from downtown Pittsburgh to downtown DC on a bike path through the woods, it's national treasure.

Chris

With Final Fantasy Revelations coming, do any of you think you’ll finally dive back into Rebirth and finish out the campaign? Also, how far did you get before setting it aside? I’m playing it now and absolutely loving it

Jug of yabbo sweat

What's a new twist you would like to see in a platformer?

Drangus

Would you have a double jump in real life if it hurt really bad every time you did it? Your bones would rattle around inside your flesh also.

Steven R. Biloba

Fall damage.. Does it belong in a platformer?
