What games are you thinking of? Only ones that fit that criteria in my mind are Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario 64. SMGalaxy and SMOdyssey could also fit that criteria: the former introduced 360 degree platforming with orchestra scoring, the latter gave birth to an entire subgenre of platformers (“Stylized Platformers”). Even SMBWonder could fit that bill, focusing less on the actual platforming and more on spectacle and “Wow!” factor.
