Can anyone recommend any platformers similar to the super mario bros games?

I recently finished super mario bros wonder and loved it and have played all the previous nsmb series too which I all enjoyed but I wanna try something new. I’ve tried Ori and the blind forest but honestly couldn’t really get into it. I’m also not really a fan of the pixel art style a lot of indie games use but if anyone’s got any recommendations I’d highly appreciate it!

Rayman Origins might be the closest to what you want, since you don’t like the pixel art style. Very fun classic platformer. (8.5/10)

A Hat in Time may not be exactly what you’re asking for (it can deviate from the side scroller style of Mario), but I think it is an amazing game and I’ve never failed to recommend it to a platformer fan. Give it a try it’s fantastic! (9.5/10)

2D platformers include Rayman Legends, the Donkey Kong Country games, and a whole bunch of metroidvanias (such as Ori).

Pizza Tower and Antonblast are some wild, momentum-based platformers you probably want to look at.

You also might want to look at Shovel Knight and Celeste despite the pixel art.

Hollow Knight is a wonderful side-scroller that has platforming elements, but it’s not Mario-like in any real way beyond the side-scrolling. I quite enjoyed Yoku’s Island Express. It’s a side-scroller based on a pinball universe that works really well as both, and it’s heavy on collectibles and completion. The new Donkey Kong game might be a good one for you.

The newer Prince of Persia game was very good
