c/retrogaming · by frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1yWhat was the first water level in a platformer? I think Super Mario Bros might have been the first. Might depend on what counts as a "platformer" or a "water level". 34 points · 15 comments · view on lemmy.world

Anybody have one that predates Pitfall II: Lost Caverns (1984)?

Huh... I see swimming through water in this video, but I don't see platforms.

A lot of water levels in Platformers have swimming instead of platforms like the entire rest of the game does
who@feddit.org · 2 pts · 1y
Sure, but I don't see platforms anywhere in that particular game.

Sub Hunt, Frogger, White Water

Water, sure, but none of those are platformers.

I’d call frogger a platformer, but the water aspect is only aesthetic. So disagree with OP on that but for different reasons.

Upvoted, but I'm not sure frogger counts. I haven't heard of the other two.

I'm worried that you may be a time-traveler with a gruge.

If you mean "water level" as in where for an isolated level you're swimming, but not the entire game, super Mario Bros might be it

Released in 1985, about a year and a half after Pitfall II.

Oh yeah. Who can forget that water level classic, " deleted by creator ".

The books it's based upon, was better
