I was trying to think of which games created certain mechanics that became popular and copied by future games in the industry.
The most famous one that comes to my mind is Assassin’s Creed, with the tower climbing for map information.

Which one did that?
I believe the very first one had skill points that unlocked an extended ending and game art.
This. They were indeed called Skill Points, and Insomniac loved to tie cheats and bonus material to completing them. I played the shit out of Spyro and Ratchet and Clank back in the day.
Not the first one on the PSX, that’s for sure. Also, getting some extra stuff for 100% a game wasn’t new by the time of Spyro, both Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot already did that
Actually introduced in Ripto’s Rage. The Reignited version backported them to the first game, though.
Mortal Kombat for the Genesis did that though. Every once and a while on good hit, little dude would pop into the corner and call out, “Toasty!!”
Really makes you feel like you achieved something great
Just a heads up that I think you replied to the wrong comment in the chain
Some like heads up but I far prefer butts up
