I'd like to pinpoint the rise and decline of Rareware, I think it can be argued that DKC really put them on the map, they had a long period of decent success mixed with failures even before they were called Rareware, but I don't think any of that compared to how their status changed after DKC.

I can't narrow their downfall to a single game, maybe Grabbed by the Ghoulies or perhaps Starfox Adventures, it could be Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts that finally made fans give up but it seemed like a long period of continual disappointment.

I would say even since Battletoads they were considered very talented

Oh they had their fans before DKC for sure, even when they were Ultimate Play the Game making games for 8 bit computers they were well regarded by niches of gamers but after DKC they were seen as Nintendo's greatest external asset, and for many gamers, as much of a reason to buy a Nintendo console as Nintendo's own games.
