Default Mario 64 style platformers

Super Mario 64 was completely new, and IMO is still the best game ever made. Even though the game was such a classic, the gameplay has only been duplicated a handful of times. There are 3D platformers such as Sly Cooper and Rayman 2 but, while excellent, they're not what I'm talking about because they're mostly linear. I'm most interested in the games that give you a bunch of very large open levels that have many different goals within them that can often be tackled in any order.

The list that I know of goes something like this, in about this order of greatness:

Super Mario 64
Banjo-Kazooie
Donkey Kong 64
Rocket: Robot on Wheels
Jak & Daxter
Mario Sunshine
Banjo-Tooie

The only one none of you have heard of is Rocket, which was for the N64 and is actually quite good. It's made by the Sly Cooper people, and sometimes appears on "overlooked games" lists.

Anybody have any more? I do not count Conker because each section is tiny and the game is pretty linear. Jak 2-3 and the Ratchet & Clanks also are not the same thing.

Edit to add Mario Sunshine.
