Floating Islands

Games that takes place on, or lets you explore, a floating island.
Roughly arranged by how the dominant the theme is in the game.

I dig this aesthetic. There are many that I forgot or unfamiliar with, so suggestions welcome

I believe floating islands are basically the entire environment of Skies of Arcadia from what I recall

would you count xenoblade 2's titans? they're central locales and a lot of them are floating/flying!

It's really funny to me that Sonic Lost World is on here but not either Mario Galaxy lol.

Or does that not count because it's many, unrelated small islands and not one relatively connected mass?

@electrode isn't Galaxy mostly tiny planets with some classic platforms in between? I only played it for a bit.

I don’t know if this strictly counts, but the first thing that came to mind was the highly popular map “Facing Worlds” from Unreal Tournament 1999 and subsequent entries

@conman I'd argue Facing Worlds is technically an asteroid. It's not quite the aesthetic
