Possible notable candidates:

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Sonic Colors

"and others"

I don't really know much about the others, but SMG2 is easily a top 10 game this gen.

yeah I figure it does.

also I haven't played them yet, but are the Ratchet & Clank games from this gen still hybrid platformers? if so, we should count those too!

Galaxy 2
Galaxy
Kirby's Return to Dreamland (I'm still pretty early in it, but this is the most fun I've had with a game in a long while)
NSMBWii
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Super Meat Boy
Sonic Generations
DKCReturns
LittleBigPlanet

Rayman Origins probably ranks pretty well too, but I've only played a little of it... it was with three friends and it was totally rad, so I'll definitely get back to it sometime. There are a couple other Wii games that are probably good candidates that I still need to play properly too.

edit: forgot SMB.

Eh, hell, I'll show you what little I have so far though...

SMG
NSMBWii
Sonic Generations
MM9
Sonic Colors
NSMB

It's definitely been the best generation for at least 2D platformers since the 16-bit era, by the way. If all the 'retro is good' popular series hadn't secured that statement then the indie platformer extravaganza would have done it anyway.

The previous two generations were hellbent on evolving away from that style for the most part because "3D is in now, dammit; nobody wants that anymore." Enough gamer desire for some 2D lovin' finally started to deliver a few years ago and it's been on a great swing.

That said, on my dismally short list I still have Galaxy at the top. Nintendo really aced the 3D platforming thing with that one and most tell me the sequel is that much better.
