DK64 is the world record holder for the most collectible objects in any video game IIRC. So yeah I think I can agree with that much...

Every time I read about that I kind of roll my eyes a little. Yeah, there are a lot of things you have to collect. Around 3800 collectables not including unlimited respawning ones like ammo. However, 3500 of those are Bananas. They are always in large quantities, and if I remember correctly some come in bunches. I know that they don't respawn like, say, coins in a Mario game, as when you collect one it STAYS collected, but picture this:

The bananas basically serve the purposes of a key, because having enough bananas allows you to unlock the door to the boss of a level. The difference is that instead of finding a single key, you're finding hundreds of bananas.

Now picture a game where you DO need a key item, but instead of being able to find it, you have to buy it using collectable coins you find. It is basically the same concept, but reversed. By that extent, what stops the other game's coins from being considered as "collectables"? Probably the fact they are infinite rather than finite, but in some games they ARE finite.

At any rate, what I'm getting at is that the record is stupid. Someone could literally make a game with 4000 finite collectables and call the record (if anyone still gave a crap) and it would be arbitrary and stupid.
