Seems like Nintendo mandated that all N64 games be 3D.

You're talking about just games with 2D graphics? Well, there was Dr. Mario 64 and Pokemon Puzzle League.

Kirby was 3D, but was played on a 2D plane. <_<

Mortal Kombat Trilogy maybe? Lol

Rampage World Tour, also.

There weren't a lot but they did happen.

Actually, 2D graphics more or less disappeared from home consoles (not handhelds) for two generations straight. It wasn't until indies started getting big that they started coming back. The PS1 had probably the most 2D graphics of the major systems from gens 5-6 but even so, it probably had 10 games that were almost entirely 3D (save icons, fonts and HUD elements) for every 1 that wasn't, at least among the actually popular titles.

Does Killer Instinct Gold count? Or do the backgrounds disqualify it

Okay, for the record, I"m talking about games that don't, or very sparingly use, 3D models. Smash 64 is a 2D fighting game, but it's still 3D modeled.

Ackshully they're all 3D since the N64's graphics processor only works with polygons.

But ackshully, ackshully all games are 2D because the end result of rasterization is 2D!

It can definitely draw textures on said polygons.

In which case, it can easily just draw a texture on a properly-scaled rectangle.

The polygon is in 3D space.
