What games utilise this groundbreaking feature and how would you rank them?

Mega Man games, at least early on kinda had it.
MM2 in particular you needed to stay on the top block while fighting the Dragon.
Classicvania also has it, with Dracula X being the most infamous case.

I think Castlevania is like this, right?Anyway, I just wanted to say that the character in Castlevania falls too fast, it's like the gravity acceleration is not 9.81 m/s2 but rather closer to 50.

Simon in Castlevania feels like a brick when jumping or falling, that always irritated me too. But I guess jumps aren't a priority in that game

a brick? more like, he's a piece of metal and the floor is a magnet.

The only challenge in those games is avoiding knockback into pits. Same as in ninja gaiden.

It's most prominent in Castlevania and Mega Man. Sonic games have knockback but there's fewer pits and it's much easier to recover in them

literally one of the easiest bosses in that game, it's basically just the bat but slightly harder.

Didn't Rondo/Dracula X let you avoid getting sent back if you ducked?
