Essentially, yes you are collecting things.. It is a platformer so there are similarities.
The reason this game is getting hype is because it is
exactly what the platform genre has been needing. Its not just another easter egg hunt, collecting 100 coins for a life etc. Its a weapons based game, over 36 weapons which you use to kill your enemies (among other things) seperating it HUGELY from J&D\'s (and every other games) "jump on guys - use spin attack" to hit them.
Also i believe the nuts and bolts you collect are used for money to buy new weapons (although im not sure)
But the weapons idea sounds very cool and when you see it being played it seems to work very well
