I suppose if you don't like Collect-a-thons, you wouldn't like BK as much as SM64. Both games do this, but BK really hammers it on with the Jiggies and the Notes and the Jinjos...

But BK doesn't even have as much stuff to collect as SM64. 100 jiggies vs. 120 stars. 900 notes vs. 100 coins x 15 levels. 5 Jinjos vs. 8 red coins. Not to mention it's much less tedious in BK since you don't have to exit the level each time you get a jiggy, and the notes directly influence your progress in comparison to coins only having significance once you collect 100.

SM64 is definitely very generous, only requiring 70 stars out of 120 to beat the game. I don't know the exact numbers for BK, but I'm sure you need to collect more to make minimum progress. However, when I think about the 70 star number now, is that really a good thing? It strikes me as not very confident of Nintendo to only demand 60% of the game be completed to beat it.
