Making a better platformer than Mario World or Bros 3 is actually very hard; in the 30+ years since those games came out, very few in the genre have managed to rival them. Better technology doesn't necessarily mean better games.

Yoshies island is up there as well,and the donkey kong games but to be fair there aren't many developer making them anymore and the genre could advance significantly but let's be honest these games rarely even break 3 million other then Mario and donkey kong. That's why  you saw very little effort for 2d mario for generations even though they sell over 20 million a game.

Yeah Yoshi's Island the DKC game are up there, it's just there's not many others on the level of something like Tropical Freeze. There's hundreds if not thousands of 2D platformers released since Bros 3/World, so it's not for lack of trying.

The most important ingredient for a game of this kind is fun, and that's not something that necessarily correlates with improving technology.
