What’s the most innovative game hook that never took off or got copied? (alien.top)

Basically what’s a game that you’ve played that seemed so mind blowingly unique at the time but for one reason or another the game never took off and other developers didn’t pick up and run with it either.

I feel like Nintendo does this for every Super Mario game. Makes a flying raccoon suit and never shows it again (at least for a while). Make a hat for Mario to walk through walls and then never see it again. Give Mario a cape but don’t use it again. I could go on and on.
