23 - Banjo-Kazooie

- This character can take flight in both this game and the other game mentioned above, although the method in which he does so is different.
- Both of the titular characters are named after musical instruments.
22
- The name of the NTSC version of this game is surely a reference to a legendary heavy metal album... I mean, after all, both this game and the front cover (and title track) of that album are based on Ancient Egypt.
- The recent remaster combined the name of the NTSC and PAL releases in quite a clever way.
- A ‘90s first person shooter that requires you to collect artifacts that enable you to reach previously inaccessible areas and level exits.
21 - Donkey Kong Country
- You can see the site of the final conflict draw closer and closer with each world you complete.
- Takes place on an island shaped like the head of the titular character.
- A reptilian foe has stolen the hero’s hoard of favourite fruit.

15 - Yoshi's Woolly World
