Didn't they censor this to "one HECK of a guy" in a later release or version or something?

In melee they did, dunno if there were ever any other versions of DK64.

There weren't, I can't play the drat thing unless I somehow get a cartridge and an N64.

DK64 has been contained in such the same way as smallpox. It's for your own protection.

DK64 is a really terrible game, but not nearly as bad as Banjo-Kazooie.

Wow, look at the bananas I have! And I can get more! And more coins or whatever! I love this! That's what I would be saying.

my legs are okay
I love collectathon adventure-platformers and even though the genre has some lovely points there are times it does really well

I also bough the beta for A Hat in Time, so you can disregard what i'm saying entirely since i'm clearly not well, mentally

i liked collectathons as a kid/teen for a while but i think it was banjo tooie that was the first one that was a barely disguised list of chores and it made me realize how inherently boring that design is.

I think the thing about banjo tooie is that it was too gimmicky. Having a shitload of different tools (a shitload of kinds of eggs, transformation, splitting up) is totally fine, but only if it's used in ways that make sense and are fun. more often than not in Tooie you'd run into "oh, i've gotta take a crack at this again after I get some bullshit from some other level". Or worse, you'd find that and not even realize you'd need something you don't have yet

i wonder, if dk64 was released first, would it be considered the best of the genre?

DK64 ruined collectathons for me because I couldn't get the last banana due to a glitch. The gold banana just sat there taunting me unable to be picked up

The last good collectathon was probably Jak and Daxter. Jak 2 and 3 made it optional, which was good because 100 percenting them sucked.

Maybe Mario 3D World, if it counts.

I don't mario games count because the collecting is just playing fun levels to reach the flag post, not the DK/Kazooie model of a billion pickups in one area

Yeah, that was my thought too. So Jak and Daxter, then.

Which wasn't even supposed to be a collectathon. They started to run out of budget and were just like "gently caress it. Orbs. Tane."

Jak and Daxter was sick and there's a shot Jak 2 of some girls big bonkers at a bar and it's the first video game titties I remember from my early gaming days.

Sadly I can't find the interview with the creator where he's like "we ran out of time so we just added the crystals from Spyro." I came across it around 2003 so it's probably long since scrubbed from the internet.
