I wanted to give a mention here for Wario World (including the Wario Land series) that are severely underrated and overlooked. It's a beat'em up/platformer that has some cool bosses (some rather creepy in their on right), interesting level design and some catchy tunes. Gut of the story for the game is, the Black Jewel awakens and turns all of Wario's treasure into evil spirits. Spritlings (I think their called) ask for Wario for help to defeat the Black Jewel and in return they will rebuild and restore Wario's castle to its former glory.
For speedrunning, the game has a lot of arena skips and boss strats including optimized routing for getting around pretty fast and collecting the red jewels (red jewels are in sub-levels that you need for getting to the boss each world has a certain amount that you need in order to open the seal). It's a short game and I really would like people to give it a try if they are into speedrunning. I'm currently on route for 59 minutes but I'm still far from World Record for the game.
Tycon holds the any% WR at 55:43 which is very good because there are two arena skips in the game that are hard to pull off.
