00:00Since the 1980s, games have been centred around collecting, well, collectibles. Whether it's
00:05Pac-Man gobbling up pellets or Mario gathering Power Stars, many games can only be completed
00:10by obtaining a required amount of baubles, trinkets, or jewels. Hello. But that doesn't
00:16mean that they haven't gone absolutely crazy from time to time, and some of these collect-a-thons
00:21really do feel like that. So let's take a look at them today, as I'm Jules, this is WhatCulture.com,
00:25and these are the 10 video games with the most collectibles. 10. GTA V 404
00:32Grand Theft Auto V was praised upon its release, not just for its fluid gameplay, interactivity,
00:37and in-depth story, but also for its gargantuan size. The map of Los Santos is an overwhelming
00:4349 square miles, making it seven times larger than GTA IV's Liberty City. With so many missions
00:49and side quests, GTA V was guaranteed to keep players entertained for quite some time. But
00:54for completionists, it's going to take a lot longer, since this rock-steady sequel contains
00:58over 400 collectibles. And you can't just walk around and talk to everyone to find them all,
01:03you need to drive, fly, cycle, and swim through every place imaginable in order to find all of
01:08the spaceship parts, letter scraps, epsilon tracks, hidden packages, subparts, photos, monkey mosaics,
01:13and nuclear waste barrels. And because of the staggering size of the map, finding everything
01:17seems like a Herculean task. There are many people who love GTA V to death and have played it for years,
01:22and have still never obtained everything this game has to offer.
01:269. Marvel's Spider-Man 511
01:29In Insomniac's award-winning game Marvel's Spider-Man, the quipping wall crawler is tasked
01:34with traversing around Manhattan to stop the evil schemes of villains like Kingpin,
01:38Mr. Negative, Tombstone, and Shocker. But webbing around the city is so much frickin' fun
01:43that there are times that you just want to get away from the story to explore. And while you're
01:47thwipping about, you'll be sure to procure one of the hundreds of collectibles, including
01:51J. Jonah Jameson's archives, backpacks, and Daily Bugle newspapers.
01:55But the most common collectibles in this game are the tokens. This 2018 action-adventurer boasts
02:00259 tokens, and you're going to have to acquire every single one of them in order to unlock all
02:05of those juicy upgrades, wacky gadgets, and alternate costumes. You can collect different
02:10types of tokens by performing certain tasks, like taking pictures of landmarks, stopping crimes,
02:15destroying enemy bases, completing challenges, winning lab minigames, and so forth. But that's not
02:20all. If you include the DLC, The City That Never Sleeps, there's another 24 archives and 12
02:25recordings to find as well, bringing the grand total of collectibles in Marvel's Spider-Man
02:29to 511.
02:318. Batman Arkham Knight
02:33516
02:35The Batman Arkham series has become famous for its gameplay, but infamous for its time-consuming
02:40side missions, especially the Riddler trophies. In Batman Arkham Knight, you can attain these
02:44prizes by achieving missions within a time limit, disabling traps, using gadgets, or through timed races
02:49in the Batmobile. And some of these trophies are so painstaking to acquire that it's nightmarish
02:54to earn all 243 of them. But guess what? If you get them all, you're not even half-finished.
03:00Upon completing the game, you'll unlock New Story Plus, which allows you to replay the game
03:04with all of the experience, gadgets, and abilities from your previous playthrough. And you will need
03:09to beat every single mission and find every Riddler trophy all over again in order to achieve
03:14200% completion. And that was everything the game had to offer, right? Well, true,
03:18up until the Season of Infamy DLC was added in. Although there are several DLCs, the 30 items
03:24found in the Season of Infamy side mission are the only ones considered official collectibles,
03:28since obtaining them affects your completion rating. If the player finds everything in the
03:33story mode, New Story Plus, and Season of Infamy, it will bring their completion rating to a
03:37mathematically impossible 240%. 7. Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time 557
03:46Now, it wasn't long after Crash Bandicoot It's About Time was released that players said that they'd
03:51finished the game. But for completionists, they looked at them, laughed, and said,
03:54oh, you ain't seen nothing yet. You see, the most common collectibles in the franchise are gems,
03:59which are usually obtained after breaking every crate in a level. Even though each entry in the
04:03original trilogy only had a few dozen gems each, this was still a pretty arduous task. But Crash
04:084 takes the cake, or Aussie equivalent, because instead of each level having one gem, there are
04:12now between 6 to 12 which can be obtained by achieving certain requirements. But even after
04:17you find all 228 gems, you are still not done. You'll have to do it all over again in the inverted
04:23mode, bringing you up to 456 gems. With four more hidden gems, that brings it to the grand total
04:29of 460. But remember, that's only the gems. There are also 21 tapes hidden throughout the game as
04:35well, and on top of that, you'll need to collect 38 Perfect Relics and 38 Platinum Relics in Time
04:40Trials mode. Anyone who thought the original trilogy had a lot of collectibles had no idea what Crash
04:454 had in store for them. 6. Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag
04:49557
04:51Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag's main campaign is composed of 42 missions, which takes about 10
04:57hours to complete. But while you sail the seas and infiltrate hideouts, you'll also have to rummage
05:01through every nook and cranny to find the plethora of Templar keys, manuscripts, letters in bottles,
05:06maps, and naval contracts. But what really keeps players busy in this swashbuckling adventure is
05:11collecting the 200 treasure chests and 200 animus fragments. Now it's not the quantity of these
05:16trinkets that's the problem, it's their locations. Many of these valuables are buried underwater,
05:21and we all know how much the video game community loves water-based levels, right?
05:25Navigating through shipwrecks and dodging great wights while seeking out every chest through murky
05:29waters takes forever. And what's worse is that you always have a time restraint since you can only
05:34hold your breath for so long. More often than not, you'll be within arm's length of attaining a
05:38rare item, only to drown and lose everything. 5. Banjo Kazooie
05:43Almost 1,169
05:46After Super Mario 64 was praised for focusing on exploration by having an open world rather than
05:51a linear structure, it wasn't long before other platformers followed suit. And what's the easiest
05:55way to encourage players to explore? Well, by filling the levels with stuff. Only two years after Super
06:00Mario 64 was released, Rare created their own little 3D platformer Banjo Kazooie. However, Rare raised the
06:06bar exponentially in terms of collectibles. If you thought that grabbing 120 Power Stars and Super
06:11Mario 64 sounded daunting, Banjo Kazooie has nearly 10 times more to attain. The colourful and cartoony
06:17adventure game was groundbreaking upon its release since nobody had seen a platformer with so much
06:22content at the time. You need to find jiggies to open up new worlds, musical notes to access areas
06:27of Gruntilda's base, and honeycombs to boost your health bar. And the only way to find all 1,169
06:33collectibles was to search absolutely everywhere. Now, there are some games that shove a ton of
06:38obtainables in an obvious attempt in to stretch out their gameplay. Thankfully, Banjo Kazooie found the
06:43right balance so it never stopped being fun seeking out hidden items even after completing the main campaign.
06:484. Breath of the Wild – Over 1,200
06:52Since the first Legend of Zelda, the beloved franchise has been filled to the brim with
06:56sidequests and collectibles. And when Nintendo promised that Breath of the Wild would be the
07:00largest Legend of Zelda game by far, gamers knew that it would be littered with more content than
07:05any rational player would be able to find. And not only does Breath of the Wild have a gigantic
07:09campaign, it has dozens of helmets, armors, trousers and horse accessories to find. The game also has 120
07:15mini dungeons which reward the player with a spirit orb upon completion, and these orbs are needed to
07:20maximise Link's health and stamina. However, the real completionist challenge is the Korok seeds.
07:26If you bring enough of these seeds to a Korok named Hetsu, he'll give you pouches for more slots,
07:30allowing you to hold more weapons, shields and bows. But because there is a punishing 900 seeds
07:35scattered across Hyrule, only the most hardcore players have ever found them all. But surely the
07:39game rewards you if you grab every seed, right? Well yes it does, because you get a giant pile of
07:44Golden Pooh. Totally worth it, right?
07:463. Super Smash Bros. Over 1,400
07:50Because Super Smash Bros. Ultimate announced that every single playable character in the franchise
07:55would return, the hype for the sequel was monumental, and even though these expectations
07:59were unrealistically high, Ultimate managed to exceed them all. Although fans were exhilarated the
08:04moment the game was officially announced, completionists found they were a little worried,
08:08because since Super Smash Bros. Melee, every entry in the series has had a ton of items to seek out.
08:13Upon Ultimate's release, there were 1,297 collectibles, which were called Spirits.
08:17Equipping spirits to a character grants them special abilities during battle like stronger
08:21kicks, faster recovery, immunity to electrical attacks, etc. Now spirits can be bought, won in
08:26challenges, or acquired in classic and adventure mode. If 1,297 collectibles sounds like a lot,
08:31well that's not all, because new spirits were added upon every update. After Alex and Steve were
08:36introduced as playable characters via DLC, another 11 Minecraft-based spirits were inserted into the game.
08:41And that means that we're at over 1,400 collectibles. Yeesh.
08:472. Super Mario Odyssey – 1999 In most of Super Mario's 3D outings,
08:53the gravity-defying plumber has to leap between worlds in order to collect 120 power stars,
08:58but in Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo's mascot needed to obtain a staggering 999 power moons. Technically,
09:04there's 836, but you can purchase another 163 power moons to bring you up to 999. But even though you
09:11only need 124 to beat the game, Mario Odyssey is just too fun to stop once you've acquired the bare
09:16minimum. You want to explore every kingdom to seize as many moons as possible. Although the power
09:21moons are the primary collectible, they're not the only one. Each level houses between 50 to 100 purple
09:26coins, which serve as currency for purchasing hats and suits. If you want to unlock all 82 pieces of
09:31clothing, well, you'll have to find 1,000 purple coins. Technically, the clothes you purchase are
09:36considered unlockables rather than collectibles, but even if they don't serve much purpose, you'll
09:40be driven to unlock every single one of them. Because I mean, who doesn't want to play as a
09:44caveman Mario, or triple somersault around a city as a mustachioed skeleton, or battle Bowser in a
09:48tuxedo? Come on.
09:501. Donkey Kong 64 – 3821
09:56In the year 2000, Donkey Kong 64 achieved the Guinness World Record for the most collectibles
10:01in a video game, with a grand total of 3821, and it's maintained this record which is a remarkable
10:08achievement considering so many modern games are padded out with tons of items. So how come DK's
10:13first 3D outing has so many things to obtain? Well, early 3D platformers popularised the concept of
10:19collecting a large number of objects to obtain an important collectible. And DK64 follows a similar
10:24formula since the Thai-wearing ape can collect up to 100 bananas per level. However, you play as 5
10:29characters, meaning that you can collect a maximum of 500 of this fruit per world. And that's just
10:34the bananas, you also have to collect 40 blueprints, 40 banana medals, 20 banana fairies, 8 keys, 10
10:40battle crowns, 201 gold bananas, a Nintendo coin, and a rareware coin in each area. And considering that
10:47Donkey Kong 64 has nearly double the amount of collectibles to the runner-up, it's safe to say
10:50that it will hold onto this record for a long old time. And there we go my friends, those were 10
10:54video games with the most collectibles, I hope that you enjoyed that and please let me know what you
10:58thought about it down in the comments section below. As always I've been Jules, you can go follow me over
11:02on Twitter and Instagram where it's at RetroJ, but the O is a zero, and you can follow me every
11:07single week for daily gaming content over on the Future Game Show or FGS for short. Hope to see you
11:12over there. But before I go, I just want to say one thing, hope you're treating yourself well with love and
11:16respect my friend, because there's one collectible that we should always look to snag each and every
11:20day, and that is just to be kind to ourselves, because we deserve the best, and we're not going
11:23to let anything or anyone else tell us otherwise. We're massive ledgers, and we're going to go out
11:27there and we're going to smash our life goals today, because I believe in you my friend. As always I've
11:31been Jules, you have been awesome, never forget that, and I'll speak to you soon. Bye.
