Just a heads up, Lip is a falling block puzzle rep. "Puzzle" in this case means sokoban, puzzle platformers, Lemmings, e.t.c. Additionally Rayman would be counted as 2D given that's where he debuted and is most famous for. I'm also not sure if Monika would count as a point and click rep.

The seventh lantern.
Fighting: Smash Bros. Ultimate (of course)

Three-dimensional platformer: Donkey Kong Country 64

Two-dimensional platformer: Tropical Freeze... or perhaps the original Sonic the Hedgehog for variety and familiarity with roots(?).

Racing: Diddy Kong Racing... or perhaps Mario Kart for its notoriety(?).

(Yawn)... The list could go on, but those are the 'spyglass gold.'

I guess that puzzle game thing makes sense...And as for Rayman, I honestly had a complete brainfart trying to think of a single 3D platformer game and could only think of Rayman 2. I guess I'll change those.

I did really think DDLC was a point and click game though...oh well.
