I was just thinking about how there was a whole thing where people kept making platformers where you pick up boxes, but it never really coalesced into its own genre.
SMB2 is the best platformer with throwing objects, but M.C. Kids did more with the throwing object mechanics.
Also Ardy Lightfoot barely did this, but it lets you pick up a mirror and reflect a laser at some point, which should be a core part of this genre. Let whatever game developer is taking notes know.
Hey that's Chip And Dale for the NES.

"Chucking Stuff" would be a good genre.
My favorite chucking stuff game is SMB 2, nothing beats those radishes.
