My Little Pony: Equestria Quest

My Little Pony: Equestria Quest is a 3D collectathon platformer for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, developed by Crash Co. The game is based off of Hasbro's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, with gameplay being inspired from games such as Super Mario 64 Online, Donkey Kong 64, and Super Mario Odyssey.
==Story==
==Gameplay==
My Little Pony: Equestria Quest is a 3D sandbox collectathon platformer in the style of Donkey Kong 64 and Super Mario Odyssey. The player takes control of one out of 30 different characters, each with their own statistics, abilities, and attacks as they traverse around and clear both combat and exploration challenges. Players are able to swap between characters thanks to small changing portals found throughout the level, as well as Celestia's Port. Only some of these characters are available from the start, though others can be unlocked as the player progresses, with some even being optional altogether.
The game puts a heavy focus on item collection, with several different items for the player to collect. Not every item is required to complete the game, though it is required for 100% completion. The main collectibles in the game are the Magic Relics, accomplished by completing certain tasks in levels, such as defeating a boss, collecting items to build something, or finding a secret obstacle course-like area that tests a character's abilities. Bits serve as a form of currency, and can be used to purchase various items from shops, much like how Coins function in Super Mario Odyssey. Tickets can also be found, which allow access to several minigames. Meanwhile, Puzzle Pieces can be found to put together to fill out the game's Gallery, containing music, concept art, player records, and more. Lastly, while not necessarily a collectible, Dark Relics are found in a similar manner to Magic Relics, though rather than being collected, they must be destroyed. In total, the game features 500 Magic Relics and 300 Dark Relics to collect, adding up to 800 main collectibles total.
My Little Pony: Equestria Quest also allows for local multiplayer, where players take control of different characters. This can be done to collect Magic Relics, destroy Dark Relics, and completing other tasks more efficient.
==Characters==
The game features 30 different playable characters, each with their own attributes, abilities, and disadvantages. Only 18 of the characters are required in the main story, though an additional 12 can be unlocked and played as throughout the game.
