Most of the time i hear that Mario 64 is the only good one, maybe the first Spyro or Banjo-Kazooie, but collectathons tend to be heavily criticized and often called a bad genre.
>If they just mapped switching Kongs to the dpad it would've been one of the best collectathons ever.
Dunno, switching isn't my issue since i tend to swap when im done with a character's item list, and tag barrels are everywhere and always placed near a warp pad so traveling isn't that annoying.
Also if that's the issue then play with the switch anywhere mod.

I think is just people playing it in a way that makes the game tedious, I keep seeing how they have to swap all the time because of random items they find on the road and the massive amount of backtracking and padding.
Whenever I play DK64 i try to stick with one character as much as possible so I can get everything without swapping much, and it's doable (though you need to use the characters in a certain order to do so and also some worlds require you to use a specific character to open other zones of the world).
That being said, if constant swapping is really the problem then just play with the switch anywhere hack, it makes the game much faster and enjoyable if you dont have patience.
