it was challenging, but somehow my little brother beat it.

Yoshi's Island DS is byfar the hardest(especially the bonus levels). Ask anyone who's played the game. I consider myself a platforming veteran, so the main story didn't take too long. This game is a completionist's worst nightmare.

New Super Mario Bros I thought was really easy. Is castlevania dawn of sorrow considered platformer? If so I vote for that.

Yoshi's Island for sure. Had it for over two years now, still not beaten. On the six level, on the ship.

I dunno why everyone is sayin Yoshi Island is SUPER hard... I ran through and beat that game pretty quickly... Now to get 100% on everything and beat all the bonuses and stuff it definitely starts to become a bit more challenging...

Anyways, I'd say Contra 4 is MUCH tougher...

Haven't played many plat-formers for the DS but from what I've played I found Portrait of Ruin to be the hardest.

I consider Contra more of a run n' gun, but it's still really tough. Yoshi's Island is halla hard too.

I guess Yoshi's Island DS, it's not extremely hard but it is harder then normal for DS platformers.

Seconded, Bonus levels of Yoshi's island DS are insanely hard.

It's a tie between Contra 4 and Commando: Steel Disaster. Both games are similar in design, and without unlimited continues, a victory seems impossible. Can't wait for Metal Slug 7 (shrugs).

Oooh, definately. I actually gave up on it cause it got too frustrating.

Agreed. I thought NSMB was challenging at first, but it doesn't compare -at all- to Yoshi's Island. Dear God, some of those levels still give me nightmares o_o

I think that yoshi's island was the hardest of them all.

For some reason, my brothers say that mario vs donkey kong march of the minis was hard. march of the minis was the easiest game i ever played :)

Contra 4 and Yoshi's Island for sure, N+ is pretty tough too but it's more of an arcade game.

Depends on how you define platformer. If Contra 4 counts, that gets my vote.

I'd say Mega Man ZX and Advent were pretty hard (in hard mode =O), as well as Portrait of Ruin when playing with the armor in lv.1 (as max). I can't get past the second boss in that one :cry: ~ de arimasu

Haha, yeah right. It's probably Contra. It could possibly be beaten by Metal Slug, though..

N+. If the robots and mines didn't kill you, wasting a hour on (too advance for society) mechanics would've made time just pass by.

Metal Slug 7.

metal slug 7 is easy. trust me i have it in *** and there are only 7 levels. and you have like 10 lifes wich can last you the whole 7 levels. the most i've lost to beat the game was like 3. hard mode is like regular mode in contra 4.

SO I SAY CONTRA 4!

I consider Contra 4 more of a shoot-em-up type game. If it were a true platformer, it would be the hardest, but Yoshi's Island DS is the hardest.
