What are good retro games (Both 2D and 3D visually-wise) that takes verticality into consideration?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 23 08:54:52 2018 No.4856862 literally any platformer...

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 23 11:41:10 2018 No.4857087 >>4856862 Platformers treat verticality as an obstacle you must overcome. Verticality as in used here means using height as a tool for exploration.

A lot of them will have upper paths with tricky platforming and better items, and falling just means you have to take the less rewarding path instead of being killed outright.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 25 05:27:41 2018 No.4860884 Kid Icarus, or at least world 1 and 3. I'm super salty that they revived the series as a Star Fox clone, because there aren't many platformers with a focus on verticality like Kid Icarus had/
