Something like Sonic Rush or New Super Mario Bros. Basically, 2.5d consists of 3d models moving in a 2d space. So I'd only want my character to move along X and Y axes and not Z. I'd also want the camera to face the screen like the previously mentioned games.

I am still learning visual C++ with DarkGDK so I'll need it as simple as possible

i havent actually played either of the games you mentioned, nor am i famillar with the term 2.5d.
however,
you could just ceate a 2d game with 2d but 3d looking sprites.
this gives all the illusion of 3d without any of the hardware or 3d spefic requirements.
