>For example you probably wouldn't say that Crash bandicot[sic] is a clone of Mario Bros, even though both are 2d platformers.

Ehm, I don't know whether this supports or hurts your argument, but Crash Bandicoot is 3d (or at least 2.5d) and has an entirely different type of gameplay than either the 2d or the 3d Mario games.




You're right, I was thinking of the 2d sections, but even those are, as you say, 2.5D.

Maybe Megaman is a better example?


Yeah, I suppose that works. It is 2d, but has such vastly different game mechanics that no one would argue it's a clone.
