The Italian plumber seems to dominate the conversation when it comes to platformers on Nintendo consoles, but which game on the original Wii do you think was the best platformer not starring Mario?

Kirby is pretty good

DKCR takes this by a landslide for me.

Don't get me wrong, Epic Yarn, de Blob 1/2, and Rayman are good games, but DKCR is one of my favourite games of last generation. It's dynamic levels that shift and break apart as you move through them are brilliant in their imaginative design, masterful pacing, and nail-biting intensity.

For me, it was a return to form for a genre that had never really sung since the SNES generation.

I liked a lot both Kirbies, Rayman Origins and The Blob were pretty fun too, but the best one is without a doubt Donkey Kong Country Returns.

I didn't complete any of the games listed.

But... Sonic Colors seemed pretty good from the few levels I played.
