During the SNES era, Super Mario Bros indeed experienced a shift towards spinoff titles, a common trajectory for mascots in the generation following their peak popularity. Despite this, Mario's ability to rebound and redefine himself is unparalleled in the gaming industry.

The transition from 2D to 3D gaming posed a significant challenge for developers, but Mario once again rose to the occasion with Super Mario 64. While other attempts at 3D platformers were made, none achieved the same level of success or innovation. Super Mario 64 introduced groundbreaking mechanics such as the "Lakitu Camera" and the use of the thumbstick for precise control, setting a new standard for 3D platforming gameplay.

Scratch Geometry Dash remains a timeless and incredibly challenging rhythm-based platformer, continuing to thrive even 11 years after its initial release, thanks to its vibrant community and recent major updates.

Initially, the gameplay may appear straightforward, involving tapping or holding to navigate our character through perilous traps as they automatically progress toward the right side of the screen. However, as we advance, the difficulty escalates, introducing new mechanics like orbs and portals that alter gameplay dynamics. With eight distinct game modes, each offering a unique experience, the game continually surprises and engages players.
