Super Phantom Cat
I'm a real sucker for platformer games on Android, so when J Washburn recommended Super Phantom Cat in the comments as a Mario clone, I was all over it.
(Still waiting on Super Mario Run, Nintendo…)
Super Phantom Cat features bright and colorful graphics with a blocky, simplistic art style that's delightfully retro. You play as Chemist White, who was saved by Super Phantom Cat as a child. Years later, Chemist White is ready to embark on his own journey to Phantom World and learn how to use sprites to unlock super powers.
There are 11 worlds to play through, with each level filled with secret areas to explore, super powers to unleash, and multiple characters to unlock and play as. The controls are pretty amazing — like if Nintendo actually wanted to do a direct port of a Super Mario Game for Android, I would feel quite happy with controls this tight.
It's a free game, but there are ads you'll have to contend with.

Retro Grid
This next retro recommendation comes from Catalin K in the forums. Meshing classic retro graphic style with modern gameplay, Retro Grid mixes the fun of a classic top-down shooter game with a reimagining of classics like Space Invaders, Snake, and other retro arcade games.
This game features endless gameplay for as long as you can survive wave after wave of increasingly powerful enemies. Fortunately, the game throws many power ups and weapon upgrades your way as you play, and the dead-simple one-touch controls for both shooting and moving allow you to take decisive action. It's a really solid game that's free to play, with in-app purchases available to buy coins and remove ads once you've reached game over.

Roller Coaster Tycoon
This game was recommended by jmagnt7 in the comments and, frankly, I'll take every opportunity to recommend this nearly flawless port of one of the best simulator games ever made.
I spent a lot of time playing this game as a kid and nearly as much time playing it on Android for my review last month. Given the smaller menus and buttons, it would really shine on the bigger screen of a tablet, but I had no major issues building coasters and managing my park finances on the 5-inch screen of my Google Pixel. And again, this is as pure a port as you'll find, which means there's no in-app purchases (beyond expansion packs), delayed build times, or any other free-to-play mechanics to deal with.
However, you do have to pay for this game — 6 bucks, which might seem steep for a port of an older PC game. But if you're an RCT fan or are interested in finding out what the hype is all about, it's well worth the money.
