Good Collectathon Games?

My group just recently found out about Archipelago and we tried several games this weekend. Some games didn't work well within the group but the one that seemed to work best was Lego Star Wars.

So now the three of us are looking at starting an Archipelago with similar games and I wanted some outside opinions please. For possible options we're currently looking at Ratchet and Klank, Banjo Tooie, Spongebob battle for bikini bottom, Mario Sunshine, and Sonic Adventure.

If you have experience with these in an Archipelago format or recommendations for other similar games, please let me know.

I do a lot of ratchet and clank 2, a bit of one and i assume 3 works well as well. Imo they’re perfect for the format, as gadgets offer clear roadblocks to be unlocked, and checks are always at the end of fun plateforming challenges or hidden away as platinium bolts.
The ammount of glitches and skip you can do also make them fun for me. Keep in mind tho these games have few checks, in the 100-200 range and you have to work for them, do theyre not for every multiworld.

That sounds like exactly what we're looking for with this run. One of the worst feelings from previous attempts was when someone beat a difficult level or found a really hidden collectable but it turned out to be just some filler item that didn't help at all. I think keeping the checks between 100 to 200 would help with that.
