#5: Mario Bros: Of course, the original will always be one of the best platformers ever. It the platformer that started it all. Plenty of glitches and levels, it truly a great platformer.
#4: Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland: Of course, you can’t forget Kirby! Kirby followed along Mario, but more twist and turns. Not a straight through levels, included nice backrounds, plenty of power-ups and bosses and mini-bosses. This is one game not to forget.
#3: New Super Mario Bros: The Amped-up version of the original, this version included more and better bosses, new power-ups such and mini and giant mushrooms, and more detailed levels and looks better and more challenging as well. This is definitely a good remake!
#2: Kirby Canvas Curse: This was a perfect Platformer and a perfect DS game! Use the touch screen very well, and had new abilities that had their own use with the touch screen, new levels that had plenty of use to the screen, great storyline that always follows through like most Kirby games.
#1: Super Mario Bros 3: This has to be the greatest platformer of all time! Lots of new levels, power-ups, enemies, world, etc. Levels being more difficult made this game even more fun! This game looks crisp and clear and took the GBA and NES to new height.
