Show Some 2D Platformer Love

Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man 2, Plok, Kirby Super Star, Aero the Acro-bat, Bubsy, Commander Keen, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Jazz Jackrabbit, and a bunch of other 2D platforming classics are the discussion topic of the day over at the NeoGAF forums.  Yes, it's time once again to shower love and praise on the best that the genre has to offer, and while I know you'll recognize (and most likely adore) just about everything on display, there are bound to be a few games showcased that are new to you.  Actually, the whole thing is just an excuse to gawk at pretty screenshots of colorful heroes in action, but it's not like you have anything better to do on a lazy day like today.  Feel free to take notes and make a list of platformers that still need your attention all these years later.  Fantastic games such as Puggsy and Daffy Duck: The Marvin Missions aren't going to play themselves.
