Splatterhouse

I couldn't make up my mind whether this was a platform game or a scrolling beat 'em up.

I personally list it as a scrolling beat em up.  Otherwise it would had made my list.  Splatterhouse is my favourite Turbo game of all time.

I can't believe I forgot about Daimakaimura / Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the SuperGrafx, it's a truly excellent platformer and would be in my top 5.

Splatterhouse

this is how i feel about cadash too.  not really a platformer, more of a side scrolling beat'em up with rpg elements.

I always felt that Cadash is a "Action RPG".

I can't answer this because I'm too wrapped up in what constitutes a platformer, but I will say Bravoman doesn't get enough love. It's a pretty awesome game, just a few dozen levels too long.

EDIT: Serious question. Does Parasol Stars count as a platformer?

[Punch]

Yes Bravoman is a cool platformer. Other games that I think they should be more well regarded by fellow obeyers:

-J.J. and Jeff: Cool adventure island esque game. The only failure, in my eyes, is that guy with sunglasses as a character (Jeff?). Also known as permanent ice level, he is 3x more slippery and jumps a quarter of what the other protagonist can in terms of height. So, only choose him if you're want a 10x harder game on purpose.

-Monster Lair: Auto side-scroller but still platformer? It is a simplistic game and an early CD game, I guess that's why people don't pay much attention to it, but it is a very fun game, and to add on top of that, it has pretty visuals and a nice redbook audio rendition of the original Wonder Boy III bgm. It is a little too long though. Play it at least once!

ENERGY

I won't judge you at all because I also have some weird game choices.

This is probably more accurate.  How about "Side-Scroll Action RPG"?  Is that a thing?  Did we just make a thing?

that makes more sense. I'll have to get back to this thread with another pick at a later time
