Brings what grabs you about Super Mario Bros. 2: jumping and platforming, lavish production as well as combat with precise timing.

A blazing-fast 2D platforming classic where Sonic uses the new spin dash to tear through varied zones, with Tails tagging along as a co-op buddy. Iconic music, tricky special stages and Super Sonic make it a series high point.

Micro Mages

Fantasy setting

You platform through a demon fortress as a mage in a loving homage to classic NES-era action platformers. Fairies and magical seagulls come to your aid, giving the old-school formula a fresh spin.

Sonic Mania

Jumping and platforming

A lovingly crafted return to classic 2D Sonic, with blazing-fast pixel-art stages, inventive remixes of beloved zones and a cracking soundtrack that nails the Genesis-era feel.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Bright, upbeat tone

You race through colorful zones as Sonic, Tails or Knuckles, collecting rings while chasing Dr. Eggman's Chaos Emeralds. It is a classic platformer whose speed and level design still thrill today.

Rayman

Jumping and platforming

A classic 2D platformer starring the limbless Rayman, who hovers with his helicopter hair and throws fists through lush hand-drawn, colorful worlds. Precise jumping and a fairly steep difficulty define the experience.

Rayman Origins

Fantasy setting

A gorgeously hand-drawn 2D platformer bursting with zany humor, tight jumping challenges and frantic treasure-chase levels, playable with up to four friends in chaotic local co-op. It gets seriously demanding in its later stages.

Pepper Grinder

Jumping and platforming

A snappy 2D platformer where you drill through dirt and leap out of it like a dolphin. Short, inventive levels, a bold look and a driving soundtrack make it stand out.

Rayman Legends

Jumping and platforming

A wonderfully fluid 2D platformer with a hand-drawn look, where jumps and attacks feel almost choreographed. The music-driven rhythm levels are especially famous, and it is great fun in co-op too.

Sonic Superstars

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced classic-style 2D Sonic platformer that adds new Emerald powers and supports up to four players in co-op. Colorful stages and high-speed action are the focus.
