20.Fox McCloud (Star
Fox Series) So far, we don’t
know that much about Fox, but we do know that he is a great pilot and
will not stop at anything (no matter how many times he does) to save his planet
from devastation, whether it be Anderos (Star Fox 64),or Wolf (Star Fox).
However, in the Super Smash Bros. series, we get to figure out more about him,
and now we know that he isn’t just a pilot, but a worthy fighter as well.
19. Meta Knight (Kirby Series) Meta
Knight may not be a main character, but that doesn’t mean he is any less
awesome. Meta Knight is a little more mysterious than your average video game
character, being Kirby’s friend in the TV show, “Kirby Right Back at Ya!” and
his enemy in many games like Kirby Super Star. In Kirby’s Epic Yarn, he was
being controlled by Yin Yarn, an evil sorcerer. One thing about Meta Knight is
his name. Whenever I say Meta Knight in front of someone they think I mean Mennonite!”
Apparently, a Mennonite is an Amish person. Anyway, Meta Knight definitely has
some powerful tricks up his sleeve, and is certainly strong for his size.
18. Samus (Metroid Series) I will say that Samus
is definitely the toughest girl around. Her robotic suit makes her a little
similar to Mega Man. In terms of power, Samus is full of it. In the first
Metroid game, it doesn’t give us a lot of information about why in the heck
she’s going through a ship shooting Astro bugs, but we get some knowledge on
that later on. Her graphics have been great in certain time periods.
17. Captain Olimar (Pikmin Series) Captain
Olimar leads a life of danger, no doubt. But imagine: you’re a refugee from
another planet, who will die by poisonous gas within 30 days, and the only way
he can get home to your wife is by using tiny little sprouts to get your ship
parts back and kill giant monsters. Sound easy? I don’t think so. That’s what I
like about him. He is one of the bravest video game characters, and he uses his
resources to his advantage.
16. Princess Zelda (Legend of Zelda Series) What makes
Zelda so special? Her powers. And the thing is that she can teleport. In Super
Smash Bros. Brawl, one of her attacks is teleporting. And I really wonder: why
doesn’t she just teleport out of her cage when Gannon decides to capture her. I
cannot say that I know why. But that isn’t her only power. She can also shoot
fireballs and control where they go. So it is pretty obvious who would win in a
battle between Princess Peach and Princess Zelda.
15. Prince Fluff (Kirby’s Epic Yarn) Prince
Fluff seems a little weird, being that his name is Fluff yet he was turned INTO
yarn. Prince Fluff is a likable character because he and Kirby get along and
they also get into mischief. They have little scenes between levels, and it’s
really cute. Kirby could summon helpers in previous games, but now he has made
his first official friend.
14. Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog Series) Sonic
is a definite classic, but he used to be a jerk, as the Sega commercials
clearly stated: “Sega does what Nintendon’t”. The company was desperate for
buyers, but eventually joined Nintendo. Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games
were the first published Sega/Nintendo series. Sonic games are now released for
Nintendo systems, and Sonic was a special character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl
along with Solid Snake. Sonic is a character you will like if you play the
original Sonic the Hedgehog games, but you shouldn’t play newer versions until
you get used to Sonic.
13. Wolf (Star Fox Series) I’m probably or
absolutely the biggest Wolf fan, because
he isn’t very popular, but he is plain AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t resist him
and neither will you once you be him in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He is the last
unlockable character, and is Fox’s enemy. It is honestly not common for someone
to take a good look at him and not like him. His appearance is just appealing,
and the gear and weaponry makes him heavier than expected. Wolf is definitely the
most awesome looking video game character.
12. Maxwell (ScribbleNauts Series) You
can’t really know Maxwell that well because he doesn’t talk at all. But he is
likable in the fact that whatever you want, he will make it, and Maxwell is the
purpose of all of the possibilities in every ScribbleNauts game.
11. Starfy (The Legendary Starfy) Starfy
is a lesser known video game character, but is adorable, nonetheless. He had two
sequels in Japan, The Legendary Starfy 2 and 3. Starfy is not playable in any
of the Super Smash Bros. games, but he is an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros.
Brawl.
10. Mega Man (Mega Man Series) Overall,
Mega Man is a pretty basic character. He is kind of similar to Samus (see:18).
He doesn’t have many attacks in previous games, just the Megabuster, a simple
gun that shoots out of his robotic hand. However, in the new Super Smash Bros.
(to be released in 2014), Mega Man will be a special character, and will have a
various weapon system based off all of the bosses in the Mega Man series.
9. Pikachu (Pokémon Series) Pikachu is one of the
most iconic video game characters ever. He is Ash Ketchum’s best Pokémon, and
has helped him win most Pokémon battles. However, in the Pokémon games, Pikachu
isn’t much of a help to anyone’s party. Many Pokémon fans wanted a Pikachu on
their team, but they soon realized that there was much more powerful Pokémon,
like Alakazam. But Pikachu is surely a classic, and extremely adorable, and he
definitely deserves the ninth spot on the list.
8. Sora (Kingdom Hearts Series) Sora
is one of the easiest video game characters to get used to. A lot of talking
and videos are in the Kingdom Hearts series, which helps gamers get to know
him. The Kingdom Hearts series consists of an odd mixture of characters: Final
Fantasy and Disney. However, Sora is not a Final Fantasy character, but he is
considered a Disney character. Kingdom Hearts plays of Disney a bit more than
Final Fantasy, using Disney worlds and characters (and Donald Duck and Goofy at
your side) while Final Fantasy adds a different drawing style and minor
characters. Sora’s weapon is one of the most memorable weapons in video game
history: the Key Blade. When I first played Kingdom Hearts, I loved the Key
Blade so much that I looked all over the internet to buy one. The Key Blade
changes into different forms for most worlds that you complete. The Key Blade
may be what makes Sora such a likable character.
7. Captain Falcon (F-Zero Series) In the
F-Zero series, we don’t get to know much about Captain Falcon because he is
really just a car driver of the future. We don’t even get to see anywhere lower
than his face. However, in Super Smash Bros. Melee/Brawl, Captain Falcon is a
playable character and even has a couple of stages based of his game, such as
Big Blue (Melee) and Port Town Aero Drive (Brawl) . F-Zero fans used this
character a lot in battle and people soon found out how awesome Captain Falcon
is.
6. Rayman (Rayman Series) What makes Rayman a
likable character is the adventures he takes you on. Rayman Origins was the first
Rayman game that I ever played, and it is the best. The Rayman series is very
creative, which I think is really missing in newer games like Mass Effect and
Call of Duty. Rayman may just save the imaginative games, because it is a well
known series that still produces games.
5. Link (Legend of Zelda Series) Link
is very popular indeed, made in 1986 along with Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Super
Mario Bros. What makes Link so cool is that he will just fight every evil thing
that gets in the way of saving Zelda. I liked Link so much, I tried to get a
Link costume, and I wanted an exact replica of the shield. Sadly, I couldn’t
find any, so I was Dipper Pines from Disney Gravity Falls. The thing with Link
is, you don’t even have to play the games to like him. I only played Super
Smash Bros. Brawl, and I’m not even close to finishing Legend of Zelda:
Twilight Princess. And he’s on the fifth spot!!!
4. Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid Series) Snake
is BY FAR the coolest old guy EVER! He is really brave, uses high-tech weaponry,
and was the start of good graphics. In 1998 people were like: “Have you SEEN
Crash Bandicoot? It has great graphics!” Well, people ate there words when they
saw Solid Snake. Even though he is, like, 63 or something, he can take down a
bunch of giant robots with his hands, feet, and pistol. I found out about Snake
when I played Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Then I started playing the series, and
the games are remarkable. With many games that are a bit realistic, there is
just something that makes Metal Gear Solid special.
3. Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper Series) Sly is
just undeniable, and he is just too good to miss. He is an Italian raccoon
thief who pick-pockets and is in love with a fox who is a cop. He is definitely
unique, and what I like about characters sometimes is based off their weapon,
and Sly passes all inspections. Memorable weapon, the Cooper Cane, great reflex
and climbing skills, and uses smooth talking and Smart Alec language.
2. Mario (Mario Bros. Series) Mario
isn’t really one of my favorite characters, but without him, none of these
other characters would have ever existed. In the 80’s, video games reduced
exercising, and grown-ups weren’t on board with that. But when Mario came
around, GROWN-UPS were playing it! So video games went back in business, and
eventually produced the games that some of these characters are from.
1.
Kirby (Kirby Series) He’s cute. He’s powerful. He has the ability to
inhale enemies and copy their powers. HE IS BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO GAME
CHARACTER EVER! If you play the Kirby series, or even look at the box of
“Kirby: Superstar Ultra”, you will find that it is physically impossible not to
fall in love with him. His bright, pink, puffy appearance tells you in an
instant that Kirby is near. Seriously, go to GameStop and look at the “Kirby:
Superstar Ultra” box. You’ll see what I mean.
