Joust

Did Brood War do anything that SCII didn’t do better? Also, arcade mode (desert strike, tower defense) on SCII is legendary.

In that game it's a game of labyrinth where the player controls the floor angle not the character directly. iIrC monkey ball was like this too.

Marble madness had you actually control the marble itself
