Donkey Kong 64.

We have this thing called expansion pack that increases the available memory so let's break the guiness record for most collectables in a single game. We don't have that many ideas though, so let's just design levels that look more like theme parks than actual worlds and repeat each minigame 7 times.

The fact that guiness record stays unbroken almost 30 years later suggests it wasn't a great idea.
