Spyro gave me so many feels. I've never played Banjo Kazooie, but the way you're describing it sounds exactly the same way I experienced Spyro.
I just loved going to all this colourful, fantastical worlds and interacting with them. Seeing what troubles the local residents were having. Exploring every nook and cranny of the level to find secrets. It was pretty magical.
It's one of the reasons I migrated to Ratchet & Clank. Insomniac - at least with the mainline entries - recaptured some of that magic. It's not quite the same - there's definitely a more mechanical feel to the levels in R&C than the "fantasy" theme that they had going in Spyro. But still, it keeps me happy.
