The winner is..... The Apprentice! But a close call was Lucky Luke, obviously a game in the same vein by the same developers, perhaps The Apprentice is also known by more people than Lucky Luke (or even the Christmas platformers, which I personally also find very good.) But I have to agree no other platform title can outlaw The Apprentice, where it be for the extras and long gameplay value.
