Only because it makes me think of Cappy, I'm going to venture a guess with Super Mario Odyssey?

Current list - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=249858&page=1#6

46 (incorrect guesses - Psychonauts)
- The playable character has the ability to enter people's dreams
- This was sort of like the PS1’s answer to classic Zelda.
- The NTSC version was simply titled after the protagonist. The European version added The Adventures of... to the title.

45
- You end up trying to solve everyone's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- Both this title and its sequel took advantage of the features of the hardware it was released on - you even have to hold the console like a book to enhance the visual novel aspect of the game.
- This is named after the place your character, a former detective turned salesman, stays for the duration of the game.

42
- Pink or blue - you will see one of these colours when you complete a level.
- The two playable characters from the first game in the series must be saved.
- The final part in a popular trilogy of platformers released on 4th gen system

40
- Obtaining the collectibles in this direct sequel is not quite as frustrating as the first game in the series.
- The playable character was something of a mascot at the time for the hardware manufacturer, with it being their first console.

39
- In some regions, this game had the same title as two other games in this well known series. In other regions, it had a subtitle.
- This game was re-released for modern consoles in a collection with two others from the same series. All three were first released on the same piece of hardware.

38
- This sequel introduces some new enemies, but only one new weapon (and even then, it’s sort of an upgrade to an existing weapon).

37
- This remake added a disturbing subplot to the game.

Change YoY: -3   My Rating: 9.1 / 10

I'm not even going to pretend to be even remotely objective when it comes to judging the quality of this game, as it basically feels tailor-made specifically to my personal tastes. I've always enjoyed a good music rhythm game, Guitar Hero and Rock Band took up a sizable chunk of my friend group's multiplayer gaming time back in the late 2000's and early 2010's, and though the genre fell of severely due to factors such as oversaturation I always felt like there was a place for good rhythm games on the market. I've played other games from the genre on occasion over the last ten years, but the first one that truly struck a chord with me was Theatrhythm Final Bar Line just last year.

Much of the reason behind that is the thing that any great game like this needs, the music, and as far as I'm concerned, the Final Fantasy series has the best music in all of video games, so a game largely built around it was always going to appeal to me. Every single main installment and numerous of the series spin-offs are featured here, amounting to hundreds of songs from the series' entire history, and through DLC you can expand that to include numerous other franchises with excellent music. What it then just needed was enjoyable gameplay to anchor the music, and luckily Final Bar Line has that as well. It's not the most complex or difficult of rhythm games, but playing is still thoroughly satisfying, and what it might lack is more than made up by the music. Obviously, you can always argue about song choices, and there were certainly some tracks I missed and others I found underwhelming or over-represented (if you include the DLC, there are seven different version of 'Battle at the Big Bridge' in the game, which is just pointless in my opinion), but when 95% of the songs are great I can't complain all that much.

I spent nearly 150 hours playing this game in the month or so following my daughter's birth, and it provided me with exactly the kind of relaxing experience I needed at the time. How much value anyone gets out of a game like this depends entirely on your personal affinity towards the music of Final Fantasy, and for me it couldn't really have a much better set of songs to play.
