F Zero GX (copied some but never surpassed)

Joust

Centipede

Arkanoid

Marble Madness (unreal that no one even tried to do this genre again)

In that game it's a game of labyrinth where the player controls the floor angle not the character directly. iIrC monkey ball was like this too.

Marble madness had you actually control the marble itself
