I'm no great coder, but I have an itch to make a platformer game in the style of Warioland and Kirby and stuff like that. Does anyone have recommendations for a suitable tool and its use?

GameMaker or GameMaker Studio, the paid versions.
The free versions tend to have more or less disturbing drawbacks, sadly.
If anyone have any better suggestions, then I am interested, too.

On what platform do you want to make it on?

PC? Android, IOS? something else?

It's a lot of program for what you need, but Unity 3d (http://unity3d.com/5) has been used to create "2d" games by restricting movement to two axes, and locking the camera to the character from the desired angle. It's 100% free as of the past few days for full functionality, and there are alot of good tutorials and some free code available to use.

PC. Good old-fashioned PC.
