I think this is accurate. If nothing else, this is the 10 ten platformers I wish were my favorates.

 

1. Bionic Commando

2. Yoshi's Island

3. Nights Into Dreams

4. Super Mario Brothers 3

5. Ninja Gaiden (NES)

6. Sonic the Hedgehog

7. Megaman 2

8. Super Mario World

9. Contra

10. Banjo Twooie

 

Honorable Mentions:

Rastan (arcade)

Warioland 3

I can't believe I forgot Kid Icarus - nonetheless, it goes, easily, in my top 20, and maybe top 10.

 

I love that game.

 

And I'd say any platformer is any game where you jump on platforms.

 

There are plenty of subgenres there - adventure platformers (Zelda II, Faxanadu, Metroid, etc.), scrolling platformers (SMB, MegaMan) vs non-scrolling platformers (Bubble Bobble), but they're all platformers.

In no particular order:

 

Megaman 2

Contra

Super Mario Bros. 2

Super Metroid

Metroid

Bionic Commando

Pitfall!

Jumpman Jr.

 

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Here are mine:

 

Pitfall

Super Mario Brothers

Metroid

Legend of Zelda II (believe it...or not!)

Mega Man

Sonic the Hedgehog

Pitfall II

Shinobi

Bionic Commando ( )

Contra

 

These really aren't in order of preference..I'd have to say SMB takes the top spot and Metroid second place.
