Does Front Mission count?

Probably, I haven't played it but it sounded like what I was looking for. That and like, maybe one other game I can't remember are the only games like this. Every other platformer that involves running and shooting is just Contra or Megaman or something like that.

Check out Assault Suit Leynos, Wolf Fang, Gigantic Army, Steel Strider and Gunhound EX

How about Blood Gear?

These are mechformers, OP.

This is one of the best looking games on the Megadrive/Genesis, plays real well too.

Night Slave

Metal Storm is pretty good. Xardion is interesting but pretty mediocre.

Metal Slug counts when you're in the tank because it can jump.

The genre kind of dies when we get to 5th gen because we get to rub sweet 3D mech simulation all over our faces from Ghost in the Shell and Armored Core

Bangai-O is pretty much peak 2D mech action.

THANK YOU BASED TREASURE!

They're quite different really, but these are two of my favorite games on their respective systems. Metal Warriors is easily way at the top of SNES for me.

It's not within the rules here and you're not actually in a mech, but the jetpack gives Dark Void Zero a very similar vibe. It's also shockingly good for what it is.

Are we talking mechoidvanias?

There's one on GameBoy called Adventures of Star Saver. It's not particularly good, but I might as well throw it in here.

Target Earth is a good one,
I also like Side Arms Hyperdyne, but I guess that one would be considered more of a shooter than a platformer.

Star Saver is practically the spiritual successor to Miracle Ropit for the Famicom, it even shares at least one song:

Not OP but, those 2 games were Lucas arts products so it makes sense for that Easter egg to be there. Nice catch btw
