A platform game commonly referred to as a “jump and run” game is a game genre in which the central game character moves between locations in a game environment. As the name suggests, the main character moves/runs and jumps through obstacles to clear a level. The challenging part of the game is when the character has to move on uneven grounds and suspended platforms, using its powers and strengths. The suspended platforms are of various heights, making it arduous to play at specific game levels. The character also does maneuvers such as climbing and jumping down vines, swinging from one grappling hook to another, flying through the air, jumping off walls into trampolines to bounce back and ascend higher platforms.
Platform games that originated in the early 1980s had a static playing field involving more climbing maneuvers. Since July 1981, the first-ever jump-and-run platformer game to be released by Nintendo, countless platformer games have been launched. Metamorphosing from 2D games, pseudo 3D to true 3D, players were able to obtain more control over the character and the camera view. Having said that, can you guess the name of the most popular platform game that became the paradigm of all platformers? The game also entered the Guinness Book of World Records in the year 1999 for having sold over a whopping 40 million copies in North America, Asia (Japan), and Europe. Of course, it is the Super Mario Bros. released by Nintendo Entertainment System.
Since the advent of Super Mario Bros, platform games have come a long way, entering the mobile market under several impressive titles on both iOS and Android.
