Part 2 done! Again the goal here was to highlight a few notable ones from each year, not list every single game.
A (pretty much) complete documentation of the subgenre's early history can be found on my site: platformadventure.weebly.com/second-generation-1994-2001.html

Note that some footage uses a later version of a game:
Rayman (PS1 ver. used, original is for Jaguar though they're only 7 days apart)
The Divide (PC ver. w/ 25th anniversary patch used)
Powerslave/Exhumed (PS1 ver. used, original is for Saturn)
Soul Reaver (emulated DC ver. used, original is for PS1)

End track: AdhesiveWombat - Night Shade
