I cant think of any examples earlier than Donkey Kong Country (November 1994.) Are there some earlier examples?

Off the top of my head, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood keeps a completion percentage, and that came out in 1993.
Would Super Mario World's "exit" count fit this? That would be 1990 (Japan)/1991 (NA).
%....
I was thinking Metroid 3 but couldnt remember where I saw a %. So yeah that is the earliest U.S. example so far
Wolfenstein 3D gave you percentages at the end of each level, how many kills, how many secrets you found, etc. Does that count? It came out in 1992.
