Things like wall jumps, dash moves, etc. Anything that increases the pace of the game and mobility of the playable character.

Consider Gunstar Heroes (Series), Castlevania SotN and onwards (Series), Abuse (DOS), Metroid (Series), I'll post more when I think of something.

Oh, and Bionic Commando (Series) - how could I forget?

You're the second person to suggest Gunstar Heroes. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks.
And I'm actually working on Castlevania: SotN right now. In fact, it and the Mega Man Zero series are what caused me to put up this post.

And I absolutely love Metroid: Don't worry, that one's WAYYYYY covered. Metroid: Fusion might seriously be my most-beaten game of all time (I lost count around 20, and believe it's closer to 30), and love Zero Mission even more. XD

Shinobi III - Return of the Ninja Master (Genesis; Mega Drive - The Super Shinobi II)/3D Shinobi III (3DS Download). One of my favorite games EVER. Enjoy a nice TAS video - http://youtu.be/epdselGCXkI

Like I said, Hard Corps Uprising. Features mid air jumps, purchasable mid air dashes IIRC, some sort of vault move that I never could figure out and other nice stuff. You're almost guaranteed to get killed if you go at high speed though
