I dunno, I’d still count Pac-Man, as he’s still quite beloved.
Going back even further there was also Pong, but that doesn’t seem to of aged, as well for newer gamers.
Though, maybe not everybody would agree.
Some hate on the NewSMB games for being “samey,” or trying to cash in on the old sidescroller’s fame/nostalgia, but regardless, honestly they’re still enjoyable games, have some new features, and some creative levels. Plus, said series revived things like the Koopalings, classic minibosses, (like Boom-Boom, or the Reznors) and gave us new & old power-ups. (Like the Raccoon Suit, and Penguin Suit.)
Plus, they have a more fun multiplayer experience, and no more taking turns, everybody plays simultaneously for some fun, and hilariously clumsy moments.
