#36 - Banjo-Kazooie was a great platformer when it came out. On the quality of Nintendo's own platform games in fact, which made me believe it was a Nintendo game at first. Banjo's appearance in Diddy Kong Racing didn't help me either. Banjo is a a more 'mature' version of Mario, for the lack of a better word, but still contains a lot of shenanigans. The game could get pretty difficult too, especially if you wanted to complete it 100%. Due to the combination of Banjo with his pal Kazooie, RARE could create loads of interesting platforming mechanics, that would still be relevant today.
#35 - ?
The number 35 game is a very old one and came bundled with a popular system, (at least) in the PAL regions. It also contains some of this system's most iconic sound 'effects'.
