2. Super Mario Odyssey - 1999

In most of Super Mario's 3D outings, the gravity-defying plumber has to leap between worlds to collect 120 Power Stars.

But in Super Mario Odyssey, Nintendo's mascot needs to obtain a staggering 999 Power Moons! (Technically, there's 836 but you can purchase another 163 Power Moons to bring your tally up to 999.)

Even though you only need 124 to beat the game, Mario's Odyssey is too fun stop when you've acquired the bare minimum. You want to explore every Kingdom to seize as many Moons as possible.

Although the Power Moons are the primary collectible, they are not the only one. Each level houses between 50-100 Purple Coins, which serve as currency for purchasing hats and suits. If you want to unlock all 82 pieces of clothing, you have to find one thousand Purple Coins.

Technically, the clothes you purchase are considered unlockables rather than collectibles. Even though they don't serve much purpose, you'll be driven to unlock every single one of them. I mean, who doesn't want to play as Caveman Mario, triple somersault around the city as a moustachioed skeleton, or battle Bowser in a bridal dress?
