If the OP means the way character leap and move around looks similar, I would say that's more due to the mechanics of platformers making it look that way rather than a deliberate copy.
Take the way the original Mario Bros game looked with two independent players moving around.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
