Apart from Nintendo's own games (Mario, DKC, etc.), what are some good platformers for the SNES?

Tekken 3

Not a platformer or a funny meme.
>>5378889
Platformers are better on the Sega Genesis. There are more good ones, and the titles which are on both platforms look better on the Genesis.

All 3 Magical Quest games.
The 3rd one is Japan-only and probably the best one, and has co-op, but I have a soft spot for the first one, it's also not as easy as the other 2.

The Goemon quadrilogy is the best you'll find on the SNES. Play 3 if you want a "metroidvania" or LotMN, 2 and 4 if you want linear action platforming. Also, all of them feature real-time co-op.

Those are great apart from the star wars trilogy which is godawful. The controls are sloppy and the levels designs are really bad - leaps of faith into the abyss, constant respawning enemies that just kamakaze into you etc.

Umihara Kawase. This may be upsetting, but pic related is what peak platforming looks like.

Dare I say it's a true hidden g...

No I won't sully its with such base terms. It's a very fine platformer that isn't well known at all. Some of the animations of him throwing the sidekick girl are pretty funny too.

Both have some really amazing platformers and it really depends on your tastes. I'd like to find or make a similar thread for the Genesis.

DoReMi Fantasy was one of the first games I got when I bought my Super Famicom. So disappointed that it wasn't released on the Super Nintendo over here. It was so much better than Milon's Secret Castle. I wish that one was kept in Japan instead.
