An ability-gated exploration platformer (AGEP) is a genre term for a video game that is heavily based around exploration and non-linearity, with certain areas generally inaccessible without upgrades or new unlockable abilities.

The game space is often open-world or semi-open, and involves encountering obstacles that the player cannot usually overcome without later backtracking. This is the generic term for the genre more popularly known as "Metroidvania" or "Zeldavania."
I'm working on a new game. It's an ability-gated exploration platformer inspired by Dead Cells and Guacamelee!

Explorer 500

An Inflatable Raft that you get from Wal-Mart when you don’t have dingy or tube and want to go floating or camping with your friends. It is Orange, Black, with White detailing and “Explorer 500” written on the bow of the raft. It’s pretty cheaply made. Usually purchased by the drunkest person at the camp site in a hasty fashion as the scramble out to the mountains. The user probably shouldn’t even be using it whilst so intoxicated.
Friend 1) “Hey, Man! We’re going floating at the lake today. Why don’t you come?!?”
Friend 2) “Sounds Rad! I just have to dip out too Walmart and grab a shitty Explorer 500 raft and a Cube of Pil’s”

Guy 1) “You probably shouldn’t go down that river in that shitty dingy. It’s too dangerous and you’re wasted!”
Guy 2) “Whatever, Dude! The Explorer 500 is the most solid boat ever. It’ll tackle these rapids like a Beast!”
*Guy #2’s body is found 4 days later 25 miles down stream floating face down and stuck in some brush*

dictionairy explorer

the game you play when you're bored, you go on an online dictionairy and click on random words that are highlighted to see where it takes you.

the harder version of this is where you make a start point and an end point that you have to try to get to.
teacher *walks around and sees you on a dictionairy* 'good! you're studying!'
you: 'uhh yes'

(actually you're playing dictionairy explorer)
