What Super Mario Bros. 1 did was use scrolling to combine a large, somewhat exploreable game world with action game elements and essentially created the template for console action games. The likes of Balloon Trip scrolling before that point were nice but weren't even really playing in the same ballpark.

The Ghosts 'n Goblins arcade game came out only like a week later so platformers probably would have continued to exist and develop to some extent even without SMB1's influence, though they'd certainly have been less popular.
