Waluigi (Super Mario)
Waluigi is a lanky self-centered, brusque young lad as he is considered evil and the main rival of Luigi. Waluigi is shown causing local havoc in most games he appears in alongside his partner Wario. Waluigi is not instinctively evil or the antagonist (not counting DDR), as a matter of fact, he shows... read more The fan favorite among the forgotten Super Mario characters, fans have constantly urged Nintendo to put Waluigi in a main-series game, but it hasn't happened so far. That's why I think he's underrated.
Pauline (Super Mario)
Pauline, also known as Daniella Verducci, is the original damsel-in-distress whom Mario must rescue from the eponymous ape in the original Donkey Kong.
Lucas (Mother)
He's not a wuss. It's because of Porky Minch and everything he did that changed him.
Wario (Super Mario)
Wario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series who was originally designed as an antagonist to Mario. His motives are driven by greed and he will take the side of whoever will give him the most pay. Although he may seem like just a mean man with no heart, he does have a very tragic past. So glad he's number one. He's my favorite video game character of all time.
Yes, Wario is number one! Most people hate him for stupid reasons.
I do feel regular Wario's pain now.

The Newcomers
? Master Chief (Halo)
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, more commonly known as the Master Chief, is a SPARTAN-II commando of the UNSC Naval Special Warfare Command. He is the protagonist and main character in both the Halo trilogy and Reclaimer Saga. I know he's high up on the list of best video game characters, but I think he's underrated because people still place him beneath shallow, underdeveloped characters such as Link and Mario.
Him not being in first place makes him underrated.
? Ellie Williams (The Last of Us)
Ellie is the deuteragonist of The Last of Us, the playable protagonist of The Last of Us Part II and The Last of Us: Left Behind, and the main character in The Last of Us: American Dreams.

Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog)
Amy Rose is a fictional character in SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with a cheerful, competitive personality, and is infatuated with the series' main character, Sonic. She serves as the first playable female character in the series. The big kahuna of underrated characters, Amy is one of my favorite characters of all time, without a doubt. She has such depth to her personality, and along with a bunch of other great Sonic the Hedgehog characters, she has helped make the franchise one of the best in history, in my opinion!

He first appeared in the classic game, Super Mario Bros. after being kidnapped by Bowser and his minions. Since then he has... read more Toad needs more appreciation.
Still not in SSB4.
Ness (Mother)
Ness is underrated because he is from EarthBound, another underrated game. I knew nobody who played EarthBound or ever chose to play as Ness in Super Smash Bros., but he is an awesome character.
Toadette (Super Mario)
Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash. One of my favorite characters of all time and still rising on my list, Toadette has shown increased personality with every game she's been part of. I hope she gets a major role in a main-series game very soon!
Kitana (Mortal Kombat)
Kitana is a fictional character from the Mortal Kombat media franchise, where she was introduced as one of the new player characters in the fighting game Mortal Kombat II in 1993.
