In no real particular order...
#1.
- Zone of the Enders 2: The Second Runner
One of my all time favorite levels to play in any game. Attacking a whole fleet, destroying said ships with the kick ass Vector Cannon, then after all that [tornado fang]ing awesomeness is done with,
appears.
"GET OUTTA MY WAY!"
"FIND ANOTHER WAY!"
#2.
- Mega Man 2
The first level I always go to when I play MegaMan 2, due to my absolute love of the stage theme, plus my overall love of the stage too. If I were to make a Mega Man stage for Super Smash Bros. Bitchslap, this would be it. Oh hey, I should get around to doing that.
#3.
- Mega Man X2
This stage just shimmers with [tornado fang]ing awesomeappeal. I mean, the music is probably only second to Flame Stag's Stage music, but the stage itself, with all the sensors, traps, and mid-boss robot fight is one of my favorites. The music just helps get me even more pumped. Easily one of my favorite stages.
#4.
- Super Mario Galaxy
Visually one of the most beautiful levels in Super Mario Galaxy, which the music adds too with it's fantastic score. I remember how wide my eyes got when Mario exploded out of the Volcano with this theme playing in the background. Way to go, Nintendo! Way. to. go.
#5.
- Sonic CD
Again, Sonic CD is my favorite Sonic game, and that's because I love the level design so much, as well as the time travel aspect to it. To that, Stardust Speedway Zone was my favorite level from that game, without a doubt. It's the stage I always remember most from playing the game.
#6.
- Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Of course, I'm not saying that Sonic 3 & Knuckles had anything less in the level design at all. Especially when it comes to final stages, and the Death Egg Zone is just one of the all time best for PB.
#7.
- Banjo Kazooie
JINJO! Ahem, one of the N64's absolute best platformers, if not the best, and with it came probably my favorite Ice themed stage in all of 3D platforming history. Freezeezy Peak was my favorite level from the game, and would probably be my favorite song, if not for the sheer majesty that is Grunty's Lair.
#8 .
- The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Speaking of N64's awesome 3D platformers, I have to give a shout out to my favorite dungeon in all of Zelda, the Stone Tower Temple. I mean, the music is already the best dungeon music in Zelda history, but the temple itself, with it's awesome inverted puzzle aspect, always felt so kick ass to me.
#9.
- Super Mario World
Cause after all, YOU ARE A SUPER PLAYER. Man, I remember jetting towards the end of this stage soooooooo fast!
#10.
- Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest
Really really hard to choose my favorite stage from this game, as seriously, the whole [tornado fang]ing game is platforming heaven, but my favorite is most likely Mining Melancholy. Heh, that could always change though.
Man, this wasn't an easy Top 10 list. I could probably throw a lot more in. Haha, thank god it only applied to platforming. If racing/flying were included, this would've been harder.
