The opportunity to create, share, and play Mario-themed maps from ourselves and others was a joyful experience on the Nintendo Wii U. 

Fortunately, Nintendo felt the same and gave fans a delightful follow-up to play on the Nintendo Switch. Like any video game sequel, Super Mario Maker 2 contains more tools and maps for players to tamper with. While it lacks some lovable features of its predecessor, it is worthwhile for what you can achieve with it.

Disney Illusion Island

Nevertheless, the two share much in common, like their latest platforming video games. Disney Illusion Island offers players a simple, exciting adventure featuring Mickey and his lovely pals.

Rayman Legends (Definitive Edition)

Rayman is to Ubisoft what Mario is to Nintendo—at least, fans hoped that was the case. Besides his delightful appearance in one of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope’s LC campaigns, Rayman fans haven’t had anything new to play for many years now. Yet, if a Rayman fan were to meet a Super Mario Bros. Wonder enjoyer and one who has never played Rayman Legends before, they would recommend it to them in a heartbeat.

Yooka Laylee and The Impossible Layer

At some point, former Banjo-Kazooie developers created two creatures named Yooka and Laylee. They strived to rec didn’t produce Banjo, and Kazooie didn’t grievances by giving Yooka and Laylee a 3D platformer title with the same wit, humor, and charm as the bear and names. While it didn’t produce the best results, they didn’t give up and eventually released a 2.5D game.

Unlike the 3D outing, fans enjoyed this one immensely. Similar to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Layer have their playable characters traverse countless levels. Each level is riddled with baddies to stop and visuals ththat’llake your breath away. Besides traditional side-scrolling levels, the game also has a beautiful 3D hub area for you to interact with. 

This area has its share of puzzles to solve, giving players more ways to engage with The Impossible Creative universe. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t offer cooperative play, which could be a deal-breaker for die-hard multiplayer fanatics. If yoyou’reilling to overlook that setback, Yooka-Laylee and The Impossible Layer shouldn’t disappoint. 

Unravel Two

If our previous entry upset you toward the end, then Unravel Two should restore your excitement. This platformer can be played alone or with a comrade. Based on the gagame’sventsgame’s events and gameplay loop, we recommend you play it with a significant other, especially if you love forging new memories with specific individuals.

Cuphead

Challenging platformer games are relatively easy to come by but can be hard to recommend. Not all gamers are created equally, with some occasionally turning a blind eye to any game with a high difficulty curve. Although CuCuphead’s gameplay makes it a challenging game to play with your kids, it’ll leave them for more difficult titles geared toward older audiences. 

That said, Cuphead is a platformer that wreaks passion and imagination, much like Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It has everything a platformer enthusiast would crave, like an immersive hub world with witty NPCs and hard side-scrolling levels with enemies that vary in power, skill, and appearance.
