Both?  Mario tends to be the one people rate the highest and I've owned two of them.  I have played 2D platformers I liked more, such as Sonic and Rayman, though neither held my attention for very long and I have no interest in them now.

What do you mean by memory based gameplay?

Games of that era tended to be about remembering patterns.  Enemy paths, unexpected jumps, moving platforms, which thing has a power-up.  That's why you could go through a lot of them blindfolded, almost, once you developed muscle memory.  Get the timing down well enough and you could see just how short many of those games actually were in terms of content and just how completely static the environments were.
