47 – Donkey Kong 64
The 32-64 bit generation was the golden age of 3D platformers, and Rare mastered the genre in the N64 with a particular approach to the genre that focused in recollecting hundreds of items in order to advance: the collectathon. With a record of 3,821 collectable items, Donkey Kong 64 was the most excessive exponent of this kind of games, what probably contributed to the decline of the genre (I think that both DK64 and Banjo-Tooie have aged worse than Banjo-Kazooie, for example), but it was also a really fun and crazy game if you could find enough time to dedicate to it. The two arcade machines inside the game (Jet Pac and the original Donkey Kong) and the unforgettable DK Rap grant this game a spot in my list.
