Well I rather enjoyed Shubibinman 3, at least for the half hour that game lasts.  It's a shame it wasn't fleshed out more, but what's there is still worth playing.

The New Zealand Story.  I absolutely love that game.  A great difficulty curve, but it gets VERY hard.  However, there's a ton of secrets (warps etc) to help you if you can find them.  A fantastic game.  And a +1 for Pac Land too.

agreed, NZS is fantastic, the levels are little short, but it makes up for it with lots of them.

How did this list get made without Camp California?

If I am not playing that, the other 2D platformers I enjoy going back to is New Adventure Island or Dragon's Curse.

How about Yukon Warrior? It's the Canadian version of China Warrior.

It features a topless Mountie and moose fighting, eh.

Jackie Chan is on its way to my home. When it gets here, there's going to be some serious platforming. :)

Dracula X obviously

Legendary Axe is another good one, its THE classic TG16 platformer

Does Cadash count? Its kind of a cross between a platformer and a RPG... either way, its one of my favorites

There are quite a few amazing platformers on TG/PCE.  I think we all think Shooters first on this system but after cleaning up my game closet last night, I realized my platformers titles have grown, and now I have more of them vs. shooters!

Some of my favs:

Dynasty Wars SCD (Tenchi o Warou) - played this capcom arcade as a kid big time!  
Wonderboy I - awesome, i play the sh*t out of this thing.
Wonderboy 3 (aka Dragons Curse/Advanture Island in JP) - for most this is the best of the Wonderboy series (not for me though, I love #1).
Wonderboy 5 SCD (aka Dynastic Hero)
Tekahashi Yumeijin (NEw Advanture Island)
Cadash (yes it is awesome)
Altered Beast (I love this for historical reasons, even though the Sega/MD version is much better)
Ninja Spirit (one of my favs!!)
Bonanza Brothers (not sure it counts as Platform, but it is a blast with the 2 player mode).
Dracula X SCD goes without saying
Downtown Nekketsu SCD!  (River City Ransom)
lastly, Ninja Gaiden is awesome.  The Hucard version is similar to the NES but with sharper graphics, and ability to choose to play in 3 languages (JP, English or Chinese!)
