51.) Mischief Makers (N64, 1997)


One of the great underrated platformer gems from the early N64 era, back before "N64 platformer" meant endless boring ass collectathon that is just a shitty version of Mario 64. This game had so much personality. Developed by the same team as Dynamite Headdy - the gimmick this time is that you play a robot named Marina who needs to go rescue her creator. This time the gimmick was that you could grab and throw just about anything, while shouting "Shake, Shake" which is definitely central to the game's charm.

The backgrounds were very inventive as were the boss fights, which required you to try to discover what the particular boss's weak point was. In general the level design though was very clever and also deeply disconcerting as nearly every block had glowing red eyes and sad face.

In the end, it's not endlessly replayable or anything but it is incredible for the time it demands of you.
