Criminal of you to leave the Donkey Kong Country games out of this list, but I'll let that slide hahaha. Those are all-time favorites for me. Even as someone who never had a SNES into adulthood.

You might have me fully sold on giving Yooka Laylee a shot! I always wanted to love Tooie, and I think I liked some of the environments even more, but that one was just far too dense for me to get too far in as a kid. I played around on a file that already had most of the stages unlocked and hardly ever had the joy of winning the jiggies myself lol.

The humor really was a lot of what distinguished it from Mario 64. There's no tarnishing 64, but I did always just find Banjo a little more whimsical, humorous, and imaginative.
