Platformers for two

What's the simplest way to describe platformers? From a formal point of view, these are games built around jumping on platforms. This is the basic mechanic of almost all projects in this genre. Why then a cooperative?

The ability to play together began to appear in many genres, including platformers. Why and why depends on additional game mechanics. But it’s simply more fun to play this way!
