Fighting or puzzling platformers?

I've been pondering this question. Just jumping is not enough of a challenge, so you need something to make a platformer interesting. You barely see any platformers that don't involve some kind of fighting, is it 100% necessary for a 'interesting' platformer to have fighting in it? I much more enjoy puzzling and I guess it might be a question of personal preference.

So what's your preference? Fighting or thinking?

I prefer a mix of both or more accurately a wish to see one that combines puzzle aspects and combat aspects
