Donkey Kong Country 2 will always be the pinnacle of 2D Platforming, though Yoshi's Island comes in a close second place.
Super Mario World on the SNES. That game is just great. I love playing it every so often.
Earthworm Jim deserves a mention. Remember when games were funny?
Probably Mario 64, just because it was so revolutionary at the time.
It created a genre. And it was surprisingly competent at what it sent out to do. In hindsight it was a miracle. Brand new technology harnessed to birth the 3D platformer. It was amazingly ambitious all around.
Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie
If you can call it a platformer: Spyro
I'm not really a platformer fan but Abe's Oddysee/Exodus and Kirby's Dream Land are up there.
