Addendum

With holographic covers, to take something from other collector-rich markets.

An Unrelated Note

I just finished A Link Between Worlds for the first time, and I didn't get the best armor or all the heart containers. Ask me anything. Wait, don't bother. I am prepared to confirm at this time I've been down with Zelda from the very start, but I do not in fact have the smarts to play the part.

Collection Impulse

Once, the gods spread across the world armor, a shield, a helmet, gauntlets, and a sword for the day when darkness rose and a hero went to meet it. However, the hero only needed the sword, so the other items were never found.
"Now I, Argurim, the king of collectors, will complete the set!"
The wealthy adventurer set out after making that bold proclamation. First, he and his retinue visited Lattely the City of Stamps, which was a bad idea, because he never left it. And so the divine panoply slumbers still.

The Fundamentals

Not even a Middle Earth side-scrolling platformer where you wander around open levels until you collect 100 rings!

Financial Emergency

Oh no! My Snoot Coins have lost all their value!

I Was Struck by Lightning and Now I'm an Animal Mascot in Another World?!?!

If you've never taken orders from a floating beard guy wearing a pointy blue wizard hat, I can't recommend the experience enough. That's what people mean when they talk about being high on life.
"Here we are in the Half-Baked Honey Hills, Julian. You need to collect 3 Golden Zaboodles, 12 Silver Snoot Coins, and 50 Bronze Snappems to reach the next area. This would be a good time to practice your Scrabble Kick, Badger Step Kick, and the old Croucheroo. Take it from me, the Upper-Middle Supermagetendant!"
"Why not a High Supermagetendant? That sounds better."
His voice flattened. "Office politics."
"Oh. Sorry for asking." I shook my legs to limber up for the Badger Step Kick, which was a double jump you kick during for more distance, and wondered if I would ever get used to my new badger body. Not even a regular badger; a cuted-up mascot badger. I hoped I wouldn't stay in it long enough.
I looked over the green hills, the bees flying back and forth on regular schedules, and the cylindrical hive platforms and rolled my furred shoulders. Those giggly whatchemahoos weren't going to collect themselves.

Towering Ambition

Will you be the one to write the series best adapted as a 3D collectathon platformer?
