Platformer

A game where the player controls a character (Mario) in different worlds, primarily focused on movement, overcoming obstacles, and collecting items (gold coins). This is the hallmark of platforming games. Since it is described as "traditional Mario," it implies 2D platforming. The "Rush" in the name, combined with the genre, strongly suggests a continuous, forward-moving platformer, which is the definition of an Endless Runner or a similar sub-genre, but the core mechanic is Platformer. Given the existing categories, "Precision Platformer" or "Endless Runner" are the closest fits, but standard Mario is the archetype of the "Platformer" genre. However, since "Platformer" is not an option, and the name "Rush" suggests continuous movement, "Endless Runner" is a very strong fit. The game is also an "Arcade" experience due to its pick-up-and-play nature. The description "control the character Mario experience in many different worlds, while collecting gold coins along the way" also fits the Adventure category, but the core mechanic is more specific. Relevance Scoring: - Adventure: 0.7 (It involves traveling through worlds, but it's not the primary mechanic) - Arcade Racing: 0.0 - Arcade: 0.8 (Simple, quick gameplay loop) - Action Strategy: 0.0 - Simulation: 0.0 - Clicker: 0.0 - Endless Runner: 1.0 (The name "Rush" and the traditional Mario feel suggest a simplified, continuous-movement platformer, which is an Endless Runner) - Board Game: 0.0 - Slope: 0.0 - Arcade Hockey: 0.0 - Jetski Race: 0.0 - Action & Adventure: 0.7 - Sports: 0.0 - Action Brawler: 0.0 - Puzzle: 0.0 - Precision Platformer: 0.9 (It's a platformer, which requires precision, but the "Rush" suggests it might be less about intricate, slow puzzles and more about speed/running, leaning toward Endless Runner) Top selection is "Endless Runner". However, since I am asked to generate a new category, I should focus on the best, most fundamental fit: **Platformer**. Since that's not available, and I'm asked to generate, I will generate "Platformer". **Generated Category**: Platformer. - **name**: Platformer - **title**: Best Platformer Games - Jump, Run, and Collect - **slug**: platformer-games - **description**: Games in the Platformer category challenge players to control a character who navigates complex environments by running, jumping, and climbing, often while avoiding obstacles and collecting items. This genre is defined by precise movement and timing.
