It occurs to me that Little Nemo in Dreamland is basically a proto-Banjo Kazooie.

Sandbox levels where youre mostly free to explore at your own leisure. Finding and using special powers to navigate unique terrain. Collect a certain number of gizmahickeys to unlock the next level.

Did anything like this come earlier?

Collect bunches of diamonds until you have enough to get a flame, which lets you get a crown, which makes you climb the mountain to the top.

Hmmmm...Im conflicted. Seems more like a proto-Metroidvania. Maybe?

I dont think Id count Metroid as a collectathon.

I feel like this is getting warmer. This might be it. Only thing its really missing is level design. But given the era Im not going to be too pickey.
