Why was Donkey Kong 64 just too much? If you don't want to collect everything, then don't collect everything.
The perfect example is in Donkey Kong Country for the Wii. One could simply go through every level quickly, not giving any mind to the KONG letters or the puzzle pieces, and it would be much easier. Adding the collectibles (given that it is done right and it isn't just a joke to get everything) adds an additional challenge for those who want it.
In the games where I actually go for all the collectibles, I honestly don't even care if there is any reward in the end, it is just for an additional challenge, and to increase how long it takes to play the game, given that I am really enjoying it.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
