I just noticed that Wonderboy kind of does this. It's not a free-scroller like Sonic, so again, not really what you're looking for, but it does intentionally adjust the player's viewpoint away from the norm. As a rule, you always push the screen horizontally from one third in. The scrolling path occasionally includes vertical slopes but regardless, it is always pushed into view by the players horizontal progress.

What's quite interesting is that the 'camera' path sometimes shifts vertically for seemingly no reason other than to make things more interesting. It doesn't necessarily optimise your viewpoint like with Sonic, but it does show an early stage where designers had, and used, the capability to do this.

Example at 3:45 in this video.

Mainly testing some scratched to **** Gamecube discs and playing DOA5U this evening. Have been on the cider and playing Brutal Doom though, one of the PC best mods ever made.
