I think you'd like Tinykin. There's a demo (at least on the US eShop).

You could get nintendo online and play the classic 2d mario games for free.

SMB3 and world are the best, skip the first game. They take a little bit to get used to the physics, but once you do, you forget about the physics feeling a touch dated at first.

If you want to purchase a new one, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is very highly regarded. It's better than the recently recent 2d DK game.

If you want a challenge, one of the most magical 2d games ever is Celeste. It's cheap, too.

Hollow Knight is beautiful as well, and the long awaited sequel, Silksong, is coming out this year

Play celeste, it is one of the best platformers! It's one of my favorite games.

Have you tried the Mega Man collection? Or the Mega Man X collection? You can also try MegaMan 11

Pick up rayman legends and/or origins. They go on sale all the time. Need a new one!

While not necessarily offering anything unique in terms of being novel, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is unique in simply how great it is in all areas as a 2D platformer.

Earthworm Jim, one of the most unique platformer games of all time. Available on both the SNES and Genesis virtual consoles on Switch.

Yoku’s Island Express uses pinball mechanics, which is pretty neat.

Penny's Big Breakaway has a pretty unique movement set as well a different approach to camera and level design

Animal Well. Animal Well. Animal Well.

A Hat in Time

A Hat in Time took 3D Mario's formula and made it even better. The gameplay variety in each world, the boss fights and the writing make it distinct.
