| 10. || ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}'' (2011) (and ''Skyward Sword HD'' (2021)) || My second ''Zelda'' game, and I loved it so much I've actually beaten it from start to finish five times, twice on Hero Mode. Despite complaints about the motion controls, I actually thought they worked pretty well. Got ''Skyward Sword HD'' and enjoyed it even more, what with the 60 FPS and new button controls which I think work even better. Still only my second-favorite ''Zelda'' game, though. || [[File:Awesomelink234SkywardSword.jpg|128px]]

| 9. || ''[https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Unleashed Sonic Unleashed]'' (2008) || My former favorite game of all time, and I just loved the boosting mechanics as well as the explorable hub worlds. I even liked the top two complaints, the night stages and the medal system. For the night stages, I liked that it turns the familiar speed-based action into a beat-em-up. For the medal system, I liked that it encourages the player to explore any areas they may have missed previously. My only complaint is that this is necessary in the day stages as well, where you're supposed to be going straight ahead and not focusing on exploration. A little side note is that this was the last main-series Sonic game (Sonic and the Black Knight notwithstanding) to feature my personal favorite English voice actor for Sonic, {{s|wikipedia|Jason Griffith}}. || {{External image|https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Sonic_unleashed_boxart.jpg|128px}}

| 8. || ''{{s|khwiki|Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix}}'' (2007) || This is moreso about the base ''KH2'', but I put ''Final Mix'' instead because I barely played the vanilla ''KH2'' meanwhile I have beaten ''Final Mix''. Anyways, I've always liked ''Kingdom Hearts'' ever since my brother introduced me to it when I was around 6 or so, but never touched it that much until [[Sora]] got into ''Smash'', after which I bought the ''1.5+2.5 HD'' collection for the PS4 (I already had ''2.8'' and ''KH3'', so I'm complete in that regard). Of the ones I've played so far (everything from the original up to ''Dream Drop Distance''), ''KH2'' is easily my favorite. Fast-paced action-based gameplay and combat, amazing Disney worlds, great villains (I'm a sucker for Organization XIII), great soundtrack, you name it. This game is simply amazing. Got the Platinum Trophy on this one. || {{External image|https://www.khwiki.com/images/3/35/Kingdom_Hearts_II_Final_Mix%2B_Boxart_JP.png|128px}}

| 7. || ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Galaxy}}'' (2007) || Absolutely loved the physics in this game, getting all Power Stars, and also the music, ESPECIALLY [https://youtube.com/watch?v=IVH6Gl7W0hI Gusty Garden Galaxy]. Easily my favorite ''Mario'' game. || [[File:Awesomelink234SuperMarioGalaxy.jpg|128px]]
|-
| 6. || ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Return to Dream Land}}'' (2011) || The very first ''Kirby'' game I ever played in 2011, and the one that got me into the series. Loved the story and the gameplay both a lot. Often come back to this game and 100% complete it, which I have done three times in total now. || [[File:Awesomelink234ReturntoDreamLand.jpg|128px]]
|-
| 5. || ''[https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Persona_5_Royal Persona 5 Royal]'' (2019) || Never really knew about this series before [[Joker]] got into ''Smash'', and I'm glad he did, because I enjoy this game a lot. There's so much things to do, and the story is great and has definitely gained my interest. Eventually beat the regular ''Persona 5''. Unfortunately, I forgot ''Royal'' was coming out and ended up getting the regular version the week before it came out. Eventually did get ''Royal'' for Christmas that year. Also platinumed this one as well, and got almost all the Thieves' Den awards except the New Game+ exclusive ones. || [[File:Awesomelink234Persona5Royal.jpg|128px]]
|-
| 4. || ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby and the Forgotten Land}}'' (2022) || Kirby's first full step into 3D (yeah, I know there some Kirby games had full 3D movement before this, but that was either in spinoffs or not for the whole game), and it was done VERY well. Very great story, great gameplay, great levels. Easily dethrones ''Return to Dream Land'' as my favorite ''Kirby'' game. Was absolutely worth the wait. || {{External image|https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e7/Kirby_and_The_Forgotten_Land_Icon.jpg|128px}}
|- 
| 3. || ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'' (2017) || This game was fun, loved the exploration aspect and combat. As much as I dislike the durability system, it forces you to hold on to your weapons, something no other main series ''Zelda'' does. Beat it and currently am in the process of 100% completing it, with 90 Shrines done so far. || [[File:Awesomelink234BotW.jpg|128px]]
|-
| 2. || ''[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Minecraft Minecraft]'' (2009) || Absolutely amazing game. Each different world seed is essentially its own game. Plus there's Creative mode, with practically endless possibilities. || [[File:Awesomelink234Minecraft.png|128px]]
|-
| 1. || ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (2018) || What can I say? This game is ''great''. All characters and almost all stages return, allowing for character matchups never before possible. World of Light was amazing, and the idea of themed battles was very well executed. Definitely my favorite game of all time. || [[File:Super_Smash_Bros_Ultimate_Box_Art.png|128px]]
