As a gamer since the SNES days, I'd like to say that the platforming genre has been consistently defined by 4 titles:
Mario - Nintendo
Mega Man - Capcom
Castlevania - Konami
Sonic - Sega
I've yet to see any other definitive faces in the genre as of late. There's just something about these classics that really make them king. Simplicity and design perhaps?
