Honestly, I would love to start seeing platformers like this come out for the PC.

Yes! Mario 64 is a game I will continue to replay for the rest of my life.
There is "a hat in time"[1] which looks really promising and is currently in beta.

Sonic Generations is on PC and people have made some neat level mods for it.
This recent game is exactly that. Also made in Unity: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/680102942/freezeme
This feels so ripped. The soundtrack alone feels like someone just chopped up pieces of Mario 64's theme and randomly pasted them together.
And maybe changed the pitch.
The air spin attack was definitely just a Mario jump sound with the pitch adjusted.
It seems to be a 1:1 copy of Mario 64/Galaxy mechanics but without any of the aesthetic charm. Inspiration's good and all, but straight up copying isn't. That's just insanely off-putting to me.
