I think this split creates issues and inconsistencies in categorisation, as it is unclear if the distinction is made on gameplay or graphical style. 3D styled sidescrollers such as New Super Mario Bros are categorised as 3D, while the early Donkey Kong Country games are not, and after a point in time it seems that all games are listed as 3D by default, including Yoshi's island DS and Wario Land Shake It which are 2D in both gameplay and graphics. To maintain consistency, I suggest reordering with games sorted into either "Sidescroller" regardless of graphical style, then "3D Platformer" and "3D Action" for games with a 3D axis of movement but not so reliant on platforming, such as the Luigi's Mansion series. I would also suggest dissolving the "Bongos" genre as Jungle Beat could be categorised a sidescroller, and the Konga series would be more accurate described a "Rhythm" game, and should share this category with the dancing titles. | I think this split creates issues and inconsistencies in categorisation, as it is unclear if the distinction is made on gameplay or graphical style. 3D styled sidescrollers such as New Super Mario Bros are categorised as 3D, while the early Donkey Kong Country games are not, and after a point in time it seems that all games are listed as 3D by default, including Yoshi's island DS and Wario Land Shake It which are 2D in both gameplay and graphics.

since it seems after a certain point in time all games are marked 3D whether they are or not. It is unclear if this distinction is by gameplay or graphical style, given that the | |||
