With so many excellent platformers on Switch, picking the best can be hard. The genre has a strong pedigree on Nintendo systems going back to Super Mario Bros. on NES (which you can find on Switch along with several of its celebrated sequels via Nintendo Switch Online).

Over the years, other developers mastered the grammar of Nintendo’s classic and the genre ballooned, spawning countless side-scrolling platformers and a tangled web of subgenres, with flavours to suit every conceivable taste.
