I guess Celeste? It's not nearly as simple as Mario but it's definitely a great platformer.

Celeste is not remotely like Mario but it is indeed an outstanding platformer

Can't say for 2D Mario but Sackboy: A Big Adventure gave me Super Mario 3D World vibes

A Hat in Time is a solid one that gives off a bit of Mario vibes. Shovel Knight also fits the mold of great platformer but it's more akin to a Megaman game than a Mario one.

Another one that went a bit under the radar on release was Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams solid game and feels like Mario at least somewhat.

Shovel Knight is really good, and it's not exactly a metroidvania by any means...

I'm looking for something that's just "simple platforming" with limited combat mechanics (such as a couple boss fights)...

I mean, I guess technically "I wanna be the guy" and its clones would apply

I never said it was a Metroidvania I said it felt more like a Megaman game.

If you're just talking about 2D platformers, there are probably ones coming out all the time because the entry barriers are so low.

Got Yooka-Laylee? Released in 2017, so not too recent, but like so many other games, it is in my key list. :P

I'll recommend Giana Sisters again. It's kind of reminiscent of Donkey Kong Country.

Celeste is my fave in a long time. Other games are good, but it is a cut above.

Got one of those in my key list as well :P

Also, the original was compared to Super Mario games on the NES.

I think part of the problem is Nintendo captures the Mario style game market so well that most others don't try.

We see slightly more in-depth experiences or far more punishing games mostly from other companies. Nintendo practically has the Mario experience patented at this point, they also put out a game every year or so, assuming we count all forms of Mario as counting.

How about mine? As I said, I have a key, so you don't even need to pay.

Yooka Laylee is that game that was supposed to be the next Banjo Kazooie, right?

Yeah, that's the 3D one. The 2nd one is a DKC style platformer though, and it's way better.

I have that and it's great - unfortunately it doesn't work on newer computers due to being old and janky

Honestly, in my opinion, there has never been a platform game that has come close to the Mario games. Even the NES Mario to this day is still a great game as is the SNES Mario World, N64 Mario 64, and the Switch Mario platform games.

Nintendo does platform games really well.
