if it's the switch version of 3D World you're emulating, have you tried Bowser's Fury mode? imo 3D World is neat but Bowser's Fury is absolutely phenomenal
Penny's Big Breakaway is on Steam and it has movement options very similar to Oddessy paired with Sonic-style rolling gameplay. I think the bosses are a noticable weak point but the levels are fantastic. if you like the momentum stuff, Spark the Electric Jester 2 (cutscenes but you can skip 'em) and 3 and Rollin' Rascal (early access) are excellent as well
+1 for Kirby and the Forgotten World, magnificent game. if you feel particularly brave, the much maligned Balan Wonderworld is similar but with an emphasis on revisiting old levels with new powers ala LEGO Star Wars. i enjoyed it but most people did not so maybe save this one for a steep sale and a rainy day
Seconding A Hat in Time. It’s probably the closest platformer to Mario Odyssey that isn’t Mario. The last DLC (Nyakuza Metro) is especially worth your time.
I mean in the grand scheme of things, all moons, planets, and even stars are doomed eventually. For a species with an average life expectancy of 80-some years, there ain’t much of a difference in 50 million and 5 billion years anyway.
Odyssey is up there as one of my fav experiences of all time. Possibly Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Galaxy scratched the itch like someone else suggested. For some reason I couldn’t get into 2 but I know it’s considered as better. Quite different but Celeste controls so well it kind of feels similar in that way.
I’m going to go through some of the replies too. Lovelovelove Odyssey.
Edit: Perhaps with trying Luigi’s Mansion 3. Not a platformer but very fun.
In its general structure, yeah, it’s close. It definitely scratches the same itch for me.
On a more basic gameplay level, it’s a bit peculiar because it’s almost not a platform game in the traditional sense. There is very little jumping and a lot of climbing, digging and throwing stuff. But it’s fun, and there are cool moves to pull off in this one too.
Apologies, forgot to mention it is on the Steam Deck through emulation. I’ll look into Astrobot (got a PS5). I have tried Splatoon 3 but was not sure what the goal of the game was.
don't really know if you're able to play online with emulation, but with splatoon I recommend just going with the single player story until you figure it out. I don't remember it having much of a learning curve to start it.
there's a bunch of platformers I think are better than odyssey but are 2d, Celeste, Donkey Kong tropical freeze, both of the ori games
While there are different game modes, the gist of the Splatoon games is to cover the arena with as much of your team’s ink as possible. Most of the mechanics involve spreading or interacting with your ink. Since you mentioned emulation, I guess you only have access to the single player campaign, so just follow what the NPCs tell you.
This game was my SHIT back in high school. One of our computer classes had the coolest teacher who would let all 12 of us play LAN multiplayer for the last half hour of class.
I remember figuring out how to mod Halo, and did some absolutely silly stuff with it, like making a sniper rifle that would immediately put a sticky grenade on wherever you clicked lol.
That was how my Highschool was growing up too (way after Halo’s hay day interestingly enough). I figured out how to get a copy of Custom Edition to run that had all the CE maps on it.
Passed that out in woodshop one day on a USB drive and everyone got a copy on their School Issued laptops. we had a huge ass LAN party going 5 days a week
