To be fair Mario was not the first platformer... Space Panic holds that title (a few others dispute it but its safe to say its not a mario title).
Donkey Kong (the arcade game that introduced Jumpman (mario)) is arguably to first platformer to introduce jumping, and later mario bros had side scrolling (didn't introduce this but was the first to make it popular).
So to sum up, not every platformer is inspired from Mario - just any platformer with jumping and/or side scrolling leves :)
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
