Why these games appear

How entries qualify

Platforming built around movement, jumping, and spatial navigation through three-dimensional environments.

Include when

Assign 3D Platformer when platforming built around movement, jumping, and spatial navigation through three-dimensional environments. This must be a sustained, defining part of play rather than an isolated mode or sequence.

Leave out when

Do not assign 3D Platformer from theme, presentation, camera, or a minor mechanic alone; its defining interaction and progression pattern must recur through the core game.
