The gang's all here!note
Platformers is a discontinued webcomic by Claire Aimée Spencer, aka YourClairyGodmother
. It is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover where the heroes of various videogames (mainly, of course, platformers) join forces to stop both old and new foes from wreaking havoc on their worlds and others.
Unfortunately became an Orphaned Series as of 2020.
The comic can be found here. The author has also posted some lore in her DeviantArt journals.
Platformers provides examples of:
- Adaptational Jerkass:
- Downplayed with Mario. In his home series, he was always a Nice Guy, never letting his accomplishments get the best of him. In Platformers, he is still a nice person, but he does sometimes give in to his ego every now and then.
- While L.O.G. has always been a Jerkass in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, he's more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold. Here, he is an even bigger asshole, often getting himself into heated debates with the other Galaxy Council members.
- All There in the Manual: The backstories of the Platformers and the Galaxy Council are found in their respective character galleries.
- Benevolent Conspiracy: The Galaxy Council, formed by various deities or otherwise people in higher standing from the Platformers' home worlds, is staunchly on the side of the Platformers themselves. Their members include Eldstar, Polokus, Rosalina, L.O.G., the High Priestess and the Queen of Cress.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Let's see... The main protagonists are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Sonic, Crash, Rayman, Banjo, Kazooie, Shantae and Klonoa.
- Official Couple: Mario/Peach.
- Older Than They Look: The High Priestess is about 60 years old, but she looks no older than a young adult.
- Really 700 Years Old:
- Rayman is stated to be over 100 years old, but his mental age is 23.
- Rosalina is an immortal being and likely lived for several hundred years, but she has the mental and physical age of a young adult.
