3D Platformers built on and borrowed from the 2D games on which they re based And again if you can find creators of later games crediting Banjo as an inspiration then it IS relevant as influencial However if you can t find that and the game in question didn t actually originate anything I don t think the case is particularly strong Banjo didn t do anything new and no one has said they looked to it for inspiration so it s kind of just baseless speculation You could just as easily say Jak and Daxter is owed Toejam and Earl or something and that would be wrong too
