Do you think this is the best?

The art of roaming free and leveling up by killing stuff. In 2D! "Metroidvania" is a stupid word for a wonderful thing. It's basically a really terrible neologism that describes a videogame genre which combines 2D side-scrolling action with free-roaming exploration and progressive skill and item collection to enable further, uh, progress. As in Metroid and Koji Igarashi-developed Castlevania games. Thus the name. Anyway I like them a lot and stuff. The end. - ToastyFrog
Also known as Castleroid.

God yes.
Are there any noteworthy games in this category that aren’t Castlevanias or Metroids?
