The Klonoa series (Particualy the second game) are nice, simple platformers that focus on a mixture of some (admittedly basic) puzzles and platforming. The soundtrack is also bloody fantastic, seriously, look it up now.
The Klonoa games are indeed awesome and have fantastic music. The first one at least has a cult following (at least enough to have gotten remade), but 2 gets completely forgotten as one of the great games on PS2... and I think even people who like Klonoa presumed the Gameboy Advance game would be a cheap knock-off, but it's not. It's actually really cool that it's entirely 2D sprites.
Dynamite Headdy is one of those awesome Treasure games that never gets props anymore. People always talk about Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Gunstar Heroes and Sin & Punishment... when they were also great at creative platformers.
