14. Wario Land 4

The Wario Land series is overshadowed by the WarioWare games. Whilst both franchises are great and the WarioWare series is definitely more creative, the Wario Land games are just some of the most solid 2D platformers of all time - I'd take them over WarioWare any day.

Whilst Wario Land 4 lacks the carefree fun of Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 as you can actually die in this game as opposed to the two previous entries, it's still a fun platformer that rewards experimentation and exploration.

You'll be doing this experimentation and exploration (nice segway right?) in the Golden Pyramid, a place filled with portals to other worlds, each containing a myriad of treasures to collect which is something you do in practically every game in the series.

The game is just a lot of fun to play through. We might not have gotten an original mainline Mario entry on the system, but Wario was happy to take his rival's place and give us the best original pure 2D platformer on the handheld.
