Reaper Tutorial

Task 1 - Research

Platform games are a very basic type of genre of level based terrain to play on. Every different platform game is special ad different in every way because of the type of terrain/ground it is played on, different characters from the voice, clothing and personality of the character

Platform games are very simple but the detail of the levels brings out humour and story of the game its self

The main platform games known and that are famous which are:

Mario from original to the new Super Mario World

Donkey Kong

Metroid

 Even today new platform games are being created but with new tech to bring a better experience and more test of skill and understanding to the levels, The game that is most modern and that has done this is Little Big Plant which consists of a character who is called the ‘Sack Boy’ the main story behind the game is really complete it. But this modern platform is different to the originals because you are able to interact with your character and change him.

Original platform games are very basic because of tech that was available in the time but with being in this time if they had more technology would the game be more known or not?

Mario- Mario is a platform game that consists of a little Italian man running across pipes and blocks to reach the end and grab the flag. There have been multiple Mario games that has been platform based from basic from Super Mario Bros to Super Mario World from these games there has been change to the music, worlds, enemies and character based power ups that bring different feel to each level of the gaming platform 

 This is the newer Super Mario Bros logo which has improved from the last one.

These are 2 different years of the same game which show how platform games have evolved since they was created in this case the'Super Mario bros'was created in 1985 and the 'New super Mario bros.'was created in 2006 which is a big jump between the two and shows how much development has gone through platform games in this amount of time
