It got popular because it’s was a new Mario game

Not sure what it did for its popularity, but Sonic 06 is considered complete garbage casually but seems to have a decent speedrunning scene.

Ratatouille Usually Asobo (PC, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii), but PSP has gained a bit of attention.

And if I want to add more, the Shrek series. Extra Large, 2 on PC and console, and Shrek the Third.

@Valzentia To add to that, The Spongebob Movie Game and Truth or Square due to their numerous appearances at marathons, particularly the latter.
