Don't Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie look so quaint in comparison to DK64

I think I read that the game was made by a team at Rare that had never worked on a 3D game before which would make a ton of sense.
I think the reason given in an interview once was simply wanting to differentiate it from Banjo-Kazooie by making it much larger in scale.What the hell was the DK64 team on that made them go that collection crazy?
The collecting in DK64 honestly isn't as bad as it's been memed up to be IMO. There's a ton of garbage to collect but it's mostly compartmentalized in "hub" areas that have a small section for each Kong. It's a tedious framework for sure but it's not the main reason why the game is bad.
The main reason the game blows is because it isn't well made, like at all. The collision is bad, the camera is awful, the enemies are obnoxious and send you flying way too far back when they hit you, the minigames are downright horrible and some literally don't even work (Beaver Bother), the power-ups you get from Cranky/Candy/Funky are mostly pointless outside of maybe one arbitrary contextual use per level, etc. Aside from the music and visuals (which are hampered by severe bursts of slowdown in the original version) the game is amateur hour all around. I think I read that the game was made by a team at Rare that had never worked on a 3D game before which would make a ton of sense.
Rare didn't really have "B-Teams". They'd shuffle project members across their barns (as an example; the development team behind Diddy Kong Racing was splintered off of Killer Instinct 2, and that team was subsequently splintered into Jet Force Gemini and Dinosaur Planet - by that time none of their developers had yet put out a game with free 3D third person movement). DK64 had a good chunk of Banjo-Kazooie members transition into it mid-development.From my understanding, DK64 was developed by the B-team that made DKC3 (the A-team that made the first two DKCs, led by Gregg Mayles, had moved on to Dream/Banjo-Kazooie).
You forgot Lanky, the most important gift DK64 blessed us with.It's a shame because DK64 definitely still does exude that classic Rare charm inspite of it kinda sucking.
It gave us King Krusha K. Rool, the Blast-O-Matic, Diddy's Peanut Popgun and Rocket Barrel, the DK Rap, etc all of which are prominately featured in Smash Bros.
We could really get a good 3D DK game in the vein of DK 64. It just needs QOL improvements and a lot of fat trimmingIt's a shame because DK64 definitely still does exude that classic Rare charm inspite of it kinda sucking.

Sakurai has the ability to include one character from a canceled game, or a cut character. The character can be from a pre-existing series, but that character can't have appeared in a released game.
