Top 10 Cutest Video Game Characters

Kirby

Kirby is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kirby series of video games, owned by Nintendo and developed by HAL Laboratory. His first appearance was in Kirby's Dream Land, released in 1992 for the Game Boy. The pink, spherical hero is known for his ability to inhale enemies and copy their... read more

Kirby may be adorable, but he is actually terrifying. He can beat Majin Buu, punch an entire planet in half, eat absolutely anything, survive a planet-sized explosion without a single scratch, throw a creature on a frying pan about 100 times his size over the sun's surface and then back to Earth. Worse yet, his warp star (according to my calculations) can travel more than 1,000,000,000 times the speed of light. And he's done all this while only being 8 inches tall.

Ah! The pink puffball, Kirby. Since 1992, I have voted for him. In comparing Kirby and Pikachu, I've decided to pick Kirby because - you should know - he's "cuter than Pikachu!" If you can agree to that!
I'm thinking about starting to play Kirby games. I haven't played them before!

Pikachu

Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) is a species of Pokémon that appears in video games, animated television shows and films, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company. It is the mascot of the Pokémon franchise and is widely considered its most iconic character. Pikachu is well known... read more

I have loved Pokemon since I was 2-3 and to this day adore it! I was going to vote for Papyrus (Undertale), but then I told myself, But what about this? and voted for Pikachu. Senpika

HA! Pikachu is way cuter than Eevee! Eevee is cute, but I think Pikachu is more adorable.

I know Eevee is cute and adorable, but Pikachu is like a billion times cuter!

Yoshi

Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur featured in video games published by Nintendo. He often appears as a sidekick and helper to Mario, playing key roles in many of Nintendo's most popular titles. Yoshi is especially well known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island... read more

Yoshi really should be higher on this list. Who doesn't love Yoshi, the iconic little green dinosaur with orange boots who beats up Baby Bowser and carries children around on his back?

Yoshi is a loving companion and loves everyone. He isn't just Mario's pet. He is Mario's best friend. Yoshi is funny and very cute. This should be in the top 3.

(Mario series)
Yoshi is a cute dinosaur. He has a pretty cute head and he is quite lovable.

Pichu

Pichu is an Electric-type Baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It evolves into Pikachu when it reaches a high level of friendship. Pichu belongs to the Undiscovered Egg Group and is No. 172 in the Pokédex. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pichu was often seen as a joke character due to its weak attributes... read more

(Pokemon series)
Pichu has a small and cute body. A good choice for a cute game character list.

Pichu is way cuter than Pikachu. It's a shame that in Smash he hurts himself.

Such a shame he is one of the most hated characters in Smash.

Mew

Mew is a Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon created by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto and introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. It is notable for its ability to learn nearly every move available through compatible methods, with certain exceptions such as signature moves. Mew can also transform into... read more

Mew is a rare Pokemon that can transform into any other Pokemon. Therefore, she is already cute on her own but can be any other cute Pokemon as well.

She's pink. She is the creator of the classic Pokemon universe. Surprisingly, instead of being all tough-looking as the creator of the world, she's adorable!

Definitely the cutest in all of gaming in my eyes.

Eevee

Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, was first introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue. It is known as the Evolution Pokémon and has more evolutionary forms than any other species. Eevee can evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon, depending on factors such as evolutionary... read more

I have been obsessed with Eevee for at least a couple of years, and it is just so adorable. Why isn't this adorable, fluffy Pokemon higher on the list?

I can see why Yoshi is higher, but this should be higher too.

Cat or dog? Hm...doesn't matter! Eevee's cute anyway!

Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff, known in Japan as Purin, is a round, pink Pokémon recognized for its ability to sing lullabies that put others to sleep. Jigglypuff has appeared in various games, anime episodes, and Super Smash Bros. titles. It evolves from Igglybuff and can evolve into Wigglytuff.

(Pokemon series)
Another cute Pokemon! A cute puffball with good singing talent!

I like how Jigglypuff is a singing wonder. Also, I like how he's a balloon Pokemon.

She is very cute, especially when she sings.

Sackboy

The most adorable thing is that he has all these little animations you can make him do:
- Nod head
- Wave arms
- Swing hips (weird but in a cute way)

Really? He wasn't even on the list where the Incredible Hulk is?

Kirby is cuter, but Sackboy deserves to be Number Two.

Pikmin

WHAT!? EIGHT!? The Pikmin should be higher than this! Pikmin is a cute game (and my favorite on this earth), and it deserves to be higher than Mew. The noises only make them better! Pikmin are cute, lovable little aliens that I love watching! Love Pikmin!

How the hell did Papyrus beat Pikmin? Sure, he's fun and lovable, but really? The Pikmin are tiny, apocalyptic minions that are the squishiest things I've ever seen. They are like the Minions, but their noises aren't annoying.

The first time I played Pikmin (Pikmin 2), I couldn't get enough of these adorable little guys!

Toad

Toad, known in Japan as Kinopio, is a major character in the Mario franchise. He assists Princess Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom and first appeared in Super Mario Bros. (1985). Toad is a recurring character in many Mario games, including New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad: Treasure... read more

Toad is so adorable that he's redeemed from being an annoyance to Mario.
Also, I would vote for Luigi as being adorable. Not as adorable as Toad or Kirby, but he's in their ranks on the adorable scale.

Drumpler (My Singing Monsters)

Kamek (Super Mario)

Kamek is a recurring enemy in the Mario franchise. He first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and frequently uses magic to hinder the player's progress. He is a Magikoopa who served as Bowser's childhood caretaker and later became one of his high-ranking minions.... read more

Tails

Miles "Tails" Prower is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. He is Sonic's best friend and sidekick. Tails is known for his ability to fly using his two tails like a helicopter rotor.

Honestly, we could all use a friend like Miles "Tails" Prower.
He's smart, kind, understanding, an ace pilot, and he can fly by using his tails as a helicopter propeller. He is amazing with technology, and the icing on the cake is that he's fluffy and adorable.
He spent a long time being bullied by the other kids because of his extra tail, long before he met Sonic. If there's anyone I would be friends with, it would be Tails.

Tails is my favorite character in almost any video game series. He is incredibly adorable, very charming, intelligent, and cute. He is a huge inspiration for me, and I love him!

Chao

(Sonic the Hedgehog series)
Cream's good friend Cheese is one of the cute Chaos.

How are the Chao below Rouge the Bat? This will not stand!

Isabelle (Animal Crossing)

Isabelle is a character in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where she assists the player in their role as mayor.

A friendly and helpful Shih Tzu, she has become one of the most recognizable characters in the series. Isabelle has since appeared in multiple... read more

She literally has the biggest grin all the time, and she smiles and waves at you when you leave the town hall! Like, come on! She's easily top 5 cutest characters!

The fact that she isn't in the top ten is shocking to me.

Waddle Dee

Waddle Dee is a fictional character in Nintendo and HAL Laboratory's Kirby franchise. Typically depicted as a loyal servant of King Dedede, Waddle Dee has appeared throughout the series since the original Kirby's Dream Land. Although generally portrayed as an enemy, some Waddle Dees have also been allies... read more

I've never played the Kirby games, but this little fella has long, expressive eyes and is so round and squishy looking I couldn't help but vote for him.

The ones in Dream Land 3 and Epic Yarn are the best, not to mention Bandanna Dee.

He is one of the cutest. He should be higher in rank. SO CUTE!

Moogle

Rouge the Bat

Rouge the Bat is a video game character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. She made her debut in Sonic Adventure 2, released in 2001 for the Sega Dreamcast. Rouge is a jewel thief and government agent, known for her confident and flirtatious personality, as well as her complex relationships with other... read more

I can't buy into the idea that this character is sexy, but I also won't believe the idea that this character is cute.

Temmie (Undertale)

Temmie is a minor character from the 2015 game Undertale, created by Toby Fox. She is a self-insert character based on artist Temmie Chang. Combining catlike and doglike traits, Temmies speak in broken English and live in Temmie Village, which contains the only shop where players can sell items. This... read more

Koopa Troopa

Koopa Troopas, or simply Koopas, known in Japan as Nokonoko, are a fictional race of turtle-like creatures from the Mario series and its sister series, Yoshi. They most often appear as common ground enemies. Over time, Koopa Troopas have become one of the most recognizable and recurring enemy types in... read more

Odd Sock is ugly anyway, too. Koopa needs to be at least 2, or maybe even 1. Yoshi sucks.

Lucas

Oh, please... That pink marshmallow is trying too hard! Whenever I see fan art of this adorable little cinnamon bun on the Internet, I literally resort to speaking in incomprehensible slurred speech!

From Mother 3? Well, I guess you're right. But he isn't as cute as that lil' Kirby!

Boo

I love Boos! He is my favorite thing ever!

Papyrus (Undertale)

Papyrus is a character from the 2015 game Undertale, created by Toby Fox. He is the younger brother of Sans the Skeleton, an aspiring member of the Royal Guard, and a sentry in the town of Snowdin. Unlike his brother, Papyrus is energetic, loud, and somewhat full of himself, but in an endearing and earnest... read more

Although he is a skeleton and less cute than Kirby, Papyrus always manages to steal a "d'aww." He tries to act intimidating and capture you, but due to his innocence and cheerful attitude, he ends up being friends with you (unless you're on the genocide route). He keeps believing in you and your inner goodness even when you decapitate him. It's impossible to dislike him. Papyrus is the cinnamon roll of Undertale, the cutest skeleton ever.

Though maybe not by looks, Papyrus is cute in the form of his innocent, childish behavior. He comically misunderstands simple things. He will always strive to make everyone around him (including himself) happy.

Luma (Super Mario Galaxy)

They have a cute feel alongside Rosalina.

Villager (Animal Crossing)

Mimigas (Cave Story)

Mimiga are a species of rabbit-like creatures featured in the video game Cave Story. They inhabit the game's underground world and play a central role in its storyline. Mimigas are known for their innocence and vulnerability, and the player's interactions with them significantly affect the game's plot... read more

They are quite literally an anthropomorphic cuddle mixture of bunnies, puppies, and kittens.
I'm telling you, this is #1. Just look at Toroko nibbling on a giant piece of cake and tell me you don't agree with me.

Odd Sock

From LBP3. Heck yeah! He has a pug costume, a Jake (Adventure Time) costume, a Gary costume, etc.
