I love these games. Highly recommended. Some other qualify puzzle games I enjoy: Ittle Dew : Top down and more Zelda-like, but considerably more focused on the puzzles. Jetpack : Classic DOS single-screen action/puzzle game... with a jetpack! Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker : If you have a Wii U, and you like puzzle games, you must own this. There are also Professor Fizzwizzle, which is an older indie game but very, very similar to Toki Tori. Unfortunately, it's only available through the Big Fish game site nowadays, but that at least means it gets a built-in demo version automatically. If you aren't familiar with the Adventures of Lolo/Eggerman series, that will probably interest you too. And, of course, you'll probably like any of the first-person-puzzlers if you haven't tried them already (e.g. Portal, The Talos Principle, Antichamber, Quantum Conundrum). I will also second the recommendations of Donkey Kong 94 |

The Lost Vikings-Multi character switching(doesn't have to be all on-screen at once) -Puzzle platforming -Each character having their own unique powers/abilities for the Famicom (NES) should do the trick, don't take it for granted tho. Yeah, I played through that Samurai Pizza Cats game last night. I remember a YouTube dude called Retro Snow doing a video about it a few years ago. Goddamn, that was like the easiest game I ever played in my life. Don't even think I died a single time. Not a complaint. It was fun while it lasted. It could've expanded on the different abilities, though. Thanks for the recommendations, alot to try here. Should've mentioned no PC games in OP. Don't have one of those. They sound cool, all the same. |

I presume you mean you don't run Windows? Because it's a bit hard to not have a computer at all. And a lot of the suggestions here are multiplatform or can be emulated.
E.g. from my post:
Jetpack will run in DOSBOX, so it can run on anything.
Escape Goat is available for OSX, Linux and X360
Escape Goat 2 is for OSX, Linux and PS4
Both Portals are available on OSX, Linux and PS3/X360
Antichamber is on OSX and Linux
Quantum Conundrum is on PS3/X360
Professor Fizzwizzle is technically on OSX, but I believe it uses an API that Apple (in their infinite wisdom) deprecated then removed. So it only works on 10.5 or older. But it's so old, the Windows version would probably run perfectly in Wine.
Ittle Dew is on OSX, Linux, Android, iOS, Wii U and Ouya

WarioWare is definitely awesome. It's not totally the same, but Undertale's combat system has some similarities with WarioWare's microgames. Undertale is technically a turn-based RPG, but with each turn that the enemy takes, you need to move your heart around onscreen to dodge their enemy attacks. It generally plays kinda like a series of pacifistic bullet-hell shmups (with each section lasting for a few seconds each), with different attack patterns to dodge depending on which enemies you're facing in battle, but some of the bosses will put twists on that, throwing entirely unique mechanics at the player during those sections. I won't guarantee you'll like it, but I do think there are some similarities between that and WarioWare. Some others Bishi Bashi Special on PS1 (game was out before Warioware) Incredible Crisis on PS1 Turn it Around on DS has a remake with less mini games on wii called Furu Furu Park (game was out before Warioware the arcade version that is which the DS port is based on ) OMG 26 Our Mini Games DS Spongebob SquigglePants 3D on 3DS (Only game like warioware on 3DS I know of) hot pixel on PSP Rocky and Bullwinkle on 360 though it was digital only and de listed years ago Arthur and invisible's DS version only. Cooking mama series |

I searched around and didn't find much. Mostly half baked recommendations on other sites. Preferably on consoles pre PS2/Xbox/Cube or handhelds or even Android. I find these games highly addictive and just looking for more crack: The Lost Vikings-Multi character switching(doesn't have to be all on-screen at once) -Puzzle platforming -Each character having their own unique powers/abilities An interesting recent example of puzzle platformer that nobody cared about is Adventures of Pip. Basically you control a character that can switch between three forms: single giant pixel, 8-bit small sprite and 32-bit medium sprite. Each one of them has different properties and abilities and you need to switch on the fly to best puzzles and platforming gauntlets. It's simple but charming and cute. Probably it wasn't succesful because people were tired of the fake retro look and/or thought it was another Zelda RPG ripoff with its fantasy setting, but I suggest giving it a try. |

As much as I wasn't really looking for another platformer, I did give Pip a try a while ago, and I can at least give it a recommendation on its soundtrack alone. It's no Shovel Knight, but it functions well enough. |

Never bothered with Dosbox on it, seems like an ugly UI and not much reward. The closest thing to a modern system I own is a PSTV. Gave up on those with the 360 red ring fiascos. All classic emulation and Vita TV. Dirt poor gamer. |

Ive not played the game myself, but Ed Edd n Eddy Jawbreakers for GBA looks like it could well have taken a bit of inspiration from Lost Vikings
