Modern Games Similar to Super Mario Galaxy? Platform/Adventure Games?

Does anyone know of any modern games similar to the Super Mario Galaxy games?  Basically the large level worlds where you accomplish a certain task in that level for a star/collectible.  Other examples of games like this would Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, etc.

Would love to find more games like Mario galaxy, but I actually can't think of any! 

I'd like to see more games like that again too.

Alice Madness Returns is sort of in that ballpark.

Sonic lost world

Yea, I was surprised that I really couldn't think of many games similar to the Mario Galaxy/64/Sunshine games. My girlfriend loves these types of games as well, so we were trying to think of new ones to play instead of replaying Galaxy or something, and I couldn't think of anything other than a few older games.

Alice Madness Returns was a pretty good game, but it didn't really offer too much of an overworld or opportunity to revisit worlds. You kind of had to tackle all the side missions in one go.

I remember the Sonic Adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle games kind of followed the model I'm looking for. I'm not familiar with Sonic Lost World, so I'll have to look into that.

Any other ideas?

Here's something that might interest you

Kickstarter game that takes a heavy influence from banjo kazooie style of games.

But it seems this genre has been dead for awhile because I can't think of any games that are similar. The only one is banjo kazooie nuts & bolts. Same formula but tied to a cart racer.

Can only really think of Epic Mickey and maybe deBlob. How modern? What about HD remakes or digital on PSN/XBLA.

-Epic Mickey 1 and 2 ( , sequel / / and maybe )

-deBlob 1 and 2? ( , sequel / / and maybe )

-The Spyro series PS1: + )

-Billy Hatcher ( )

-Jak & Daxter, the first one. 2+3 are more like GTA ( , HD)

-Psychonauts ( , , )

-Some of the Rayman series had a 3D world adventure, I think 2 and 3. There was a HD remake before side-scrolling Origins+Legends came out.

-Ratchet and Clank series ( , HD)

-Beyond Good & Evil ( , , HD, HD)

Nice list, I'll have to check out those games.  Thanks!

Most of the games in that list are more linear then what you are describing but you are asking for a genre that essentially only existed on the N64. On that note I would recommend checking out most of the games on that list especially spyro.
