Best N64 game not made by Nintendo or Rare?

Incorrect.  Factor 5 was never a 2nd party developer.  They worked closely with Nintendo developing games and middleware in that era to the point that 2nd party lists often included them as an honorary member, but were always independent

Then by your definition, since Rare was technically independent, they’re not a second party dev either, and so your previous post is invalidated.

You’re even more invalidated by the fact that Rogue Squadron was published by Nintendo and Diddy Kong Racing was not.

Only the EU version was published by Nintendo, instead of LucasArts in NA, similarly to how Nintendo sometimes publishes games from Japanese developers, like Octopath Traveler, in the EU now.
