Top Ten Video Game Characters
A video game character is an entity acting in a game. It may take the form of a player character controlled by the player, or a non-player character controlled by the game program.
okay, here is why sonic is a bit overrated, they say a faster pace game is always better, that is the most BIASED thing ever. they say super sonic is better than super star because its very op, THAT MAKES THE GAME TO EASY, and death battle, mario is actually more intelligent than sonic if you think about it, as mario is older.(not by games, by their actual age) plus just because your fast does not mean your strong, mario could outsmart sonic pretty easily, way more things are sonics bad portion. sonic is good and all, but his fans are being way to biased, even more than marios.
Mario is clearly the best video game character of all time. He deserves this top position. Everyone knows him, everyone plays his games all the way from Donkey Kong to Super Mario 3D world + Bowser's fury, and the game company that makes his games is amazing; So amazing that it beat Sega in the console wars! And most importantly, if Mario didn't exist, neither would any of the other Mario characters exist either.

It's hilarious to see just how many Mario haters there are out there, but seriously, what is your problem? People complain, "Oh, every Mario games the same, always saving a princess, boring minigames, no good storyline at all." Well, last I checked, Link went around saving Zelda all the time too. Not to mention all the other countless games out there. As for the minigames, it just goes to show that Mario can do anything. Literally, anything. One day he'll be playing baseball, the next he's running around with an assault rifle. And finally, with the "Boring, meaningless plots"... Listen, if that's what you want, go watch a movie. It's having a fun experience with the gameplay that counts. And in every Mario game since '64', I've had that. Mario's a simple hero, and that's just how I like him.
Don't get me wrong, I like Link, Solid Snake, Kirby, Master Chief, Ezio, Sonic, Cloud, etc... , but playing a Mario game, it makes you feel like a hero yourself. (I know that sounds absolutely ...more

LOVE Sonic! I hadn't even heard of him before a saw the trailer for the first movie. When I watched the movie, I literally fell in love with the franchise. Since then, I got to know the Sonic universe, and while I am not a longtime fan, I would love to see what the future brings for him. His blue quills, red shoes, carefree attitude (as well as his compassion for others) makes him a very likable character.

Why do people hate him so much? I don't care if there are some bugs or a not perfect story. I need fun while playing it. for an example: I bought Sonic Forces because I just wanted some new levels. by the way I'm love Sonic Frontiers.
Mario may have saved the video game industry and to that I applaud him, because without him there would be no Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic burst onto the scene in 1991 with Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis and hasn't quite gone yet. In his early years he was popular around the globe for his speedy platforming, something most games couldn't provide at the time. While his venture in 3D hasn't gone as smoothly as he would have liked, his legacy lives on and with the arrival of Sonic Colours and Generations as well as Sonic 4, people are starting to realise that the Blue Blur is finally back!

Kirby is underrated and needs more attention. Mario is a jerk and abused Donkey Kong killed Yoshi over and over and is an absolute jerk to luigi oh he is a communist as well WATCH GAME THEORY
Kirby is a massive icon on kid-friendly games. Come on,he's a cut little puffball! They also contain some of my favorite games! Examples are Kirby And The Forgotten Land and the robot one I forgot the name of.
I absolutely adore Kirby, with his cute looks, and unique powers, this puffball is one of the most powerful and cute video game characters of all time. Although he is stubborn, you can't blame him, he is a kid. Kirby did some good and bad things in the Kirby series, killed off Nova, defeated guardians of pieces of artifacts that contained the evil entities that Kirby later also destroyed,destroyed countless planets and killed innocent civilians, but he also defeated beings like Dark Nebula, Dark Matter, Nightmare Wizard, Marx, and Magolor. But his motives are... questionable, for pieces of cake and a nap. His motives are the only reason Kirby is not my favorite video game character.
He's a pink puffball. He eats everything in his way, even living beings. Let's make an example: in Kirby's Adventure, he defeats the evil king of his land and then restores the dreams of the land, but (plot twist) they are cursed by an entity called "Nightmare"! What does Kirby do? At first he panicks, and then he throws himself in SPACE to kill the entity. Cool, isn't it? Also there is Zero, aka the ruler of the evil. It looks like an eye. When Kirby defeats him, he rips the iris out of the ocular bulb, and there's blood everywhere. Not very fitting for a game where the protagonist is a pink puffball, but who cares, it's awesome

I like Mario a lot but I have to say,Luigi barely beats him. He's the more clumsy one out of the two and he feels so relatable. He was my last pick for the list and he BARELY beat mario to it. Really funny,portrayed well and surprisingly very helpful as a partner!
Luigi is the best character in video game history. He's much more loyal and kind than his brother, he's selfless, and even if he gets a little cowardly, he's extremely determined. Luigi has been my favorite for years, and he always will be
Best character to live. He's such a good brother. He has a heart of gold and is lovable to the very end. Heck, he's even the best ghost wrangler out there. His kindness is unmeasurable. Daisy found the right man. He deserved the Year of Luigi (I was SO happy that year). Luigi is not in Mario's shadow. He is so generous as well (Mario could use more kindness. Luigi gets a hot-air balloon for Mario and Peach and how does Mario thank him? He gets in and leaves Luigi by himself. SO MEAN! ). This guy should be number 1 by far.
Luigi might play second fiddle in almost every Mario game, but this quirky plumber still manages to differentiate himself from his brother. While Mario is your run-of-the-mill protagonist, Luigi has a ton more personality and character development. Luigi is a little cowardly but that only makes him more likable and relatable to players. He's funny and especially kind and loyal to his friends. He's an underdog that every player ends up rooting for.

What do I have to say? Easy S Tier. He's my favorite character in gaming ever! He's so cute and you'll expect me using him in smash bros! He's adorable and an amazing sidekick to Mario(and technically Luigi as well)and really no one can hate him!
Yoshi is not just the best video game character. He is just the best character from anything! He has the likable personality of Mario and Luigi, he is the cutest video game character, and he is the coolest. He save's crying babies and islands everyday. He also is relatable because he like's to eat like everybody. He isn't afraid to have a different body size and he doesn't follow any anorexic fads.
Yoshi is my favorite Nintendo character. Yoshi's are really cute and they can fly and eat stuff to help you. Baby yoshis can do a bunch of awesome stuff too. Me and my cousins used to often fight about who gets the yoshi if there is only one or who gets the pink yoshi. Yoshi is an awesome character and like I said before my favorite character in Nintendo.
No offense Yoshi, but really Luigi should be above you ridding on top of YOU. But other than that my loyalty goes to you thirdly behind Mario and Luigi. You can run so fast that you can fly. With that tongue of yours you can swallow entire Pokeys. You have deserved your spot in fourth place.
DecipheringElf8

Uncompromising, heroic, epic. His flaws are his struggle with his own humanity; you can feel it through a simple nod of this helmeted demi-god of a man. He is the true definition of a hero.
Some might call him the closest thing to Hercules that has ever taken the body of a man. Others might call him Jesus with a gun.
Mario and Sonic are laughable next to this guy. And Link has no real character of his own, no personality, no "that's so Link" moments.
So play with your fairies, eat mushrooms, wear catsuits, hang out with two-tailed creatures while spinning to battle against cheesy bosses...The Chief's going to be saving the universe from genocidal aliens, parasitic zombies, ancient transcendent beings, and he'll do it all himself if necessary.
So yeah, hail to the Chief.
I don't see how the people ahead of him are seen as better. Mario is in first despite having no personality at all along with other Mario characters such as Luigi and Yoshi who have even less of a personality. How can a character be good if there isn't anything other than what is seen on the outside? Master chief actually has a personality, while Mario does nothing except jump on mushrooms and try to save the same person from the same fire breathing lizard over and over again. Mario has no purpose, he just does the same thing in every game. Master Chief is the best by far, and I don't see why people prefer the shallow characters
The main character of the Halo series is a true BADASS. Master Chief saved the entire Universe from extinction.
The characters that "beat" Master Chief are an Italian plumber addicted to shrooms and an elf without pants, they fight foes from turtles to flower pots. Master Chief takes countless stands against infinite waves of ape-like Brutes, hulking Hunters, raptorish Jackals and the zombie-esque parasite known as the Flood. What's more is he doesn't even have backup. If the Chief does, then it's just a couple marines. Why is the Master of all Chiefs at BRONZE? Why is he not first?
If Master chief took on all of Mario and link's enemies on at once, there would be a pile of dead goombas, koopas, and Zelda enemies. Mario and Link vs. the flood and the covenant, it will be one short fight, mainly because Mario only jumps on people. Link at least has a shot, but the sheer amount of covenant and flood will eventually get him. Besides, HALO CE put Xbox on the map. Oh yeah, and Halo also revolutionized fps games. And if you think master chief has no personality, just read halo the fall of reach, halo the flood, and halo first strike, they go into master chief's personality very in depth. best video game character and video game series.

He's one of the cutest pokemon ever! I can't say much about them but they're one of my favorite pokemon! It evolves into Raichu and I love using Raichu! Really enjoyable to watch and use!
I don't understand why you wouldn't choose Pikachu. It is obviously the most known (besides Mario and Luigi) game character on the list. Personally, I hate all the other characters on the list, so I choose this guy.. Still he is very popular and has won so many challenges with Ash Ketchum (spoilers if you don't know) and has went through so much with him. I thought Pikachu would at least be top 5, but you people had to ruin it and choose someone else (unless you chose Pikachu like I did lol)
I voted for Yoshi because personal reasons but pikachu is the most known mascot from
All video games, and when you think of Nintendo one of two characters come to mind. Mario and/or Pikachu. He is also ashes companion in the anime, making him that much more lovable.
Pikachu is one of the most recognizable Pokemon. Show someone a silhouette of Pikachu and they might say "Oh, that's Pikachu! " Kids these days have Fortnite and PUBG, but I grew up with Pokemon and I'll stay loyal to Pokemon until the day I pass.

Why is Link this low? That is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. He's only #9, barely even top 10. Come on. He's Link. He should definitely be top 3, if not #2. We can compare him to other characters. Mario, an Italian plumber. Who wears blue overalls and a red hat with a white M on it. Sonic, a literal HEDGEHOG. All he can do is run fast. Kirby, a little pink guy with a high-pitched voice. Come on. Seriously? Compared to a brave knight of Hyrule, wielding the Triforce of Courage, who saves Hyrule time and time again from Ganon. He has the legendary Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Meanwhile, Mario jumps on top of his enemies' heads.
He's obviously the best character. He looks SO BORED when talking to people, but REALLY HAPPY when he cooks a successful meal. (Zelda wants to be a scribe. Link wants to be a chef. So what, maybe they didn't WANT to be heroes!)
How dare you put link under 10. Mario is a fat plumber who battles turtles while link is a hylian who fights things that will absolutely murder you. Think of deadhand vs baby Bowser. Deadhand is just creepy while baby Bowser is a little kid! Link would best Mario too. Oh and also link saves Zelda which in BOTW is holding back Ganon. Peach is helpless. Mario also normally just jumps on koopa's heads while link actually uses a sword to cut down enemies! I'm not saying he should be number 1, I just think he should be in the top ten!
Why is Link this low on this list? He should be at least #3, if not #2. Obviously, Mario is a more iconic video game character, but Link, this low? Absolutely crazy. He has the strongest video game weapon ever, and looks cool and fights in a super cool way. The Master Sword and the Hylian Shield are easily recognizable anywhere.

This guy is probably a better villain than others. He sometimes teams up with the person stopping him,that's heart. Even if he us defeated,he doesn't go down with a fight and he's a million times better than Dr Eggman. He's portrayed well and is one of the few antagonist to feel like a fully fleshed out character because he's not predictable like Eggman but still funny and enjoyable. His peaks was when he teamed with Mario,10/10.
I don't like Mario series, but I do think he is awesome villain because how his entire being is basically a two halves of the same coin.
If I'd see his design without knowing anything about the franchise, I'd say he is a powerful and merciless embodiment of all evil that exists in the world and torments you in the most painful ways possible if you dare to doubt or laugh at him.
But for the most part, he is nothing more than a comical villain, isn't much more of a threat than the Team Rocket trio, yet he is also badass enough to not only survive being thrown into a lava, but also come back as an awesome skeleturtle. He rocks!
Everybody loves a good villain, and there isn't a more recognizable one in gaming than the Koopa King himself. Nintendo originally created him as the final obstacle to jump over to rescue the princess, but Bowser's character has become much more interesting in the decades since then. In the Mario RPG's, he is often comical. In Super Mario Sunshine, we see him having a heartfelt moment with his son. And in Super Mario Odyssey, he reminds you why he's Nintendo's biggest baddie.
I often tire of having the same villain over and over and over again, but Bowser is the exception.
He is so charming and loveable. A great design, lots of cool powers and the fact that he survives basically everything. Falling lava? No problem. Have a star explode in his face? Nah.
Love this massive turtle dragon.

Solid Snake is the epitome of what all gaming protagonists should be based upon. He's as flawed as he is witty. A soldier who believes in right over wrong.
I've never been more engrossed in gaming dialogue as I was when Otacon rings you up for small talk, or just for advice when you get your ass handed to you in a boss fight.
Snake has demons too, and it's subtly displayed in those dialogue moments with the games npc's. I even wished Kojima brought him back for The Phantom Pain.
I was gonna vote cloud, but Solid Snake is one bad SoB. Snake is a total Badass, he is tough, courageous, charismatic, and sacrifices so much to save the world. I don't understand how people are voting for such vague and shallow characters like Master Chief, Mario, and Link. I love LoZ games more than Metal Gear, but Link is a mute, Solid Snake has a lot of character depth so he is the definite winner in my eyes.
Snake screams badass! He is just badass in every way! He got that deep raspy voice that just screams rugged and tough, he is charismastic, he has great courage, and he has strong determination and he will do whatever it takes to make sure the world and its inhabitants are in safe hands! He sacrifices so much for the betterment of the world! Truly a noble, brave, and tough-ass character!
Solid snake. The most badass there is. The only reason people are in front of him is because they are more known. Snake has mastered a lot of ways to fight, even as he rapidly aged he remained badass at the highest level, not to mention he saved the world numerous times. He even survied getting shot in his eye, punched repeatedly by a man who can channel electricity. Snake deserves number 1.
The Newcomers


My favourite video game character, he brings darkness and edginess to the table. Something any other sonic character couldn't. As for the game, it's underrated I think people expected too much of the game. They mostly hated it because it was different from most sonic games, but if you think about it, it actually shows what anti-heroes are about. Sometimes they pick good, sometimes they pick bad, sometimes they are neutral, but no matter what they almost only ever fight for something if it means they get what they want. Shadow the hedgehog is better than people think the game was completely underrated. Shadow for life
Um, Shadow deserves better than an honorable mention. I think the problem is that like Mario with Luigi, Sonic overshadows Shadow (and Shadow's game was almost unanimously hated back then, but I tend to see his game age surprisingly well now these days). If Sega made more games featuring Shadow (like the one in 2005, only with not too much emphasis on replayability or making missions too tedious or outdated graphics, then Shadow's game could be gladly accepted), he could be able to compete with the top 5.
People say he is a sonic rip-off and because he has a gun he is dark and emo. I disagree he can go super like sonic and can run at speeds rivaling sonic But he can use chaos powers like chaos control and chow blast and he has a completely different personality. He was meant to be a rival so all you haters quit saying he is a rip off. I think it's cool that he is a edgy,badass and all-around cool rival to sonic. He is and always will be my favourite character.
I like his backstory quite a bit, but shadow suffer from what I would call the Zero syndrome. He is more a character that stand out for what happened to him than a character that stand out for his personality or his actions. Not that he didn't do anything though. I love the sacrifice he made at the end of SA2 especially. Overall though he is decent, but I don't like him as much as other people.

She's like Master Chief, except that she extinguished two breeds of dangerous predators, she blew up an entire planet, she was able to sneak into the mother ship of the space pirates only with a paralyzer (without her armor) and she's just so cool. She decided to not give a damn about the Space Federation sending reinforcements and to blow up the whole place she was in because there was a major threat inside. She was about to sacrifice herself.
Samus is a really cool and intelligent. She has a super fast gun ship and has really good items such as her suit which has an arm cannon. Before anyone screams at me saying Samus is a boy then open your eyes folks because Samus is really a girl. She is one of my favorite smash brother characters, she is also the best girl character in smash or what Nintendo has to offer.
I think Samus is a wonderful video game character to represent females. I may be no feminist, but if I was a girl, I'd be pretty honored to be represented by this woman! She is strong, independent, and powerful in general! She blasts aliens like a beast! She may be beautiful, but her bravery and heroism outweighs all of her qualities.
I'd imagine the blatant character assassination Samus went through in Metroid Other M is a viable reason why she isn't in the Top 5 of this list. I hope Nintendo will treat her with more respect in the next Metroid game. IF they even want to make one after that horrible game.

He did bad things. He tried to right his wrongs, he just wanted to be with his family. That's all that motivates him in the whole game. Family. Alas John says it himself to Bonnie. "No one gets forgiven and nothing's ever forgotten". No matter what he did, the consequences of his bad deeds came around and he suffered for them. I won't spoil the game, but in the end, he finally gets redeemed. Karma finally enacted. He pays for his maldoing and his sins finally absolved, but at a heavy price. After all, redemption always comes at a heavy price. Brings a whole new light to the name "Red Dead Redemption"...blessed are the peacemakers, Mr. Marston
We're talking about a true character to the core. By the end of the game I started feeling like John was apart of me. I felt like a real Red Dead gunslinger. Rockstar did a great job as usual and hit the jackpot for me. In my top 5 for sure.
The greatest video game character of all time no doubt. Unlike many of the characters currently on the top 10, Marston has actual character development and you can't help but get emotionally attached to him and to his story.
What I like about John Marston is that I can relate to him, not many characters can resonate with you like that. John is human, he's made mistakes and tried his best to change, even though it's hard to fight human nature.

I'm often a defender of Peach for the hate she receive, but other than in the first three Paper Mario games where she is a very sweet and actually helpful character, and Smash bros where kicking ass with her is so funny, especially with the "Atcha! " of her side-B, she is not very good in other games. People say that she sucks because she doesn't know how to defend herself, but I find that the problem is actually the opposite. It has been show in other games in the series that she can defend herself but in other games she gets kidnapped in seconds which makes her an inconsistent character
Peach is a great character! She has a cute design, is a REALLY good character in Super Smash Bros, I love using her in MarioKart 8, love using her in Mario Party, and plays a crucial role in Mario. Peach haters can SHOVE IT because Peach is a good character. They all just salty because they friend got to peach in smash before they could then beat they're asses. Boom.
PEACH gets way too much hate, she's made to be kidnapped guys. That's her purpose in the franchise. Also she's made to show girls they can be hero's too. Mario was my childhood and still is so I'm not afraid to say I'm a peach fan and please stop hating for no reason like the voice because you know there's a volume button haha
I love Princess Peach! She's my second favorite character in the Mario series! She's such a sweetheart and she helps Mario all the time, even when she's kidnapped she manages to find information and send it to Mario and send items to help on his adventure!

Kratos is always angry, basically bad, practically unstoppable. He rescues oracles, undead Pandora and those who would rather die, which Mario can suck on. He's smart, beating every puzzle and trial in Pandora's, Helios's, and the Fates' temples, and even Aphrodite was eager to take him in, rage, gore, and all. Don't tell me you never wished you were the one being made to swing those flaming blades by another bloodthirsty human who wouldn't ease up on the square button.
Man, Kratos should be on top, yeah maybe he slaughtered his own family with his hand, but then he repaid it by killing Ares, and after that he was the one who got betrayed by the Gods of Olympus! I mean he should be on the top because he does many badass things like killing hydra and slaughter gods! You know what I mean right?
Kratos is a special character, in the sense that the developers successfully reinvent their character, and not many devs can say they have done that. Kratos went from an angry, blood-thirsty God of War to a calm, collected and wiser character.
As a Mario fan and Halo fan, Kratos is my favorite of the 3 main game mascots, (Sonic is from Sega, which has stopped making consoles), like he so powerful that he killed Zeus, heck, he would even murder almost every video game character that exists.

I like how he trained Kirby to become a better warrior, how determined he is to become the strongest warrior in the galaxy to the point he faced Galacta Knight multiple times, how cool his fights are, and how badass he is. When he fights Kirby, he always give Kirby a sword to make a fair fight, except in Squeak Squad where his respect for Kirby was lowered by the fact he does all this just for a cake. In Revenge of Meta Knight, the only reason he wanted to rule over dream land is because he find the citizens to be lazy, and when you take that into account, that would explain why he respects Kirby, it's because Kirby makes so much effort to save the world and is not as lazy as others. I find Meta Knight is overall very interesting.
One of the coolest characters nintendo has ever made. This master of swords is completely mysterious. I just like how he always stands up against evil. He shows chivary even when facing his enemies, always offering them a sword before attacking them. And he is better swordsman than even Link.
If you are so overpowered that you are banned from tournaments, that says something about you. His sword is LEGENDARY, he has one of the mot iconic Nintendo ships, his cape becomes wings enabling flight, and what not to say? He is just one pure word, Epic.
Unlike most people, I like Meta Knight better than Mario, Snake, even Lara Croft for crying out loud. Y? Because he's awesome and his sword is awesome. Being an antihero is awesome. In Meta Knight standards of course.

Cute sidekick and his alone version in Sonic Prime seems interesting,it shows how a lot can change about him. He was horrendous in Sonic Lost World,a massive backtrack from the Times in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.
Tails is a very helpful sidekick to Sonic, and is my second favorite character in the series. Although he is very helpful I think he's a little jealous of Sonic's speed abilities and wonders why he doesn't get to speed through zones and beat up robots.
Also, Tails could team up with Rosalina Princess Daisy from the Mario franchise & be voiced by Chris Colfer.
Also, Tails could carry Mario up high places with his tails, but since Mario is heavy he'll need much more than 2 tails.
Tails's infrequent height after Sonic Boom: 5'2" (160 cm).
Tails's infrequent weight after Sonic Boom: 132 pounds.
Imagine an actual, non-hacked multiple genre having video game for adults by Nintendo & Sega called "Mario & Tails".
Tails is Sonics sidekick and should really be higher on this list, for starters tails is one of the only characters to catch up to sonic unless sera brings back I don't know mephiles or makes a new character. But tails really should at least be higher then Luigi. This dude should get his own game where he saves sonic and at least bring back super tails.

Ezio's story is more interesting than any of these characters in the top ten. Mario's story is about fighting a giant turtle on steroids, links is about saving a princess (cliché), Sonics is about running or something? Master Chiefs story is really good, but it still can't compare to the depth and emotion of Ezios. I don't even know what a Solid Snake is, and Lara Croft is just known for being the girl on Tomb Raider. The thing that sets Ezio apart from these other characters, is the pain that he feels throughout his journey. His emotions in Florence when he witnesses his father and two brothers are hung are unmatched with the other characters. Then the transformation from cunning teenager to master Assassin is one that I'll personally never forget. Ezio Auditore the Firenze is without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest video game character in video game history.
The Assassin's Creed series did such a great job to making the player get attached to Ezio that ultimate Assassin. Experiencing his birth, initiation, his losses and his death in the extra animation. Ubisoft put a lot of work into making Ezio a likable character, pity Revelations was a terrible game.
As I see that none of the other main characters in the AC series can overthrown Ezio, this guy is pure gold! I never cared about a story in a video game so much expect for his, without a doubt Ezio is the one of the best, iconic, interesting & most lovable video game character in this decade.
His Italian accent, story, character development, emotions, depth, evolution from a brash teenager to Master Assassin, speech, quotes, personality, combat sense etc. Everything is so damn perfect! Ezio is so iconic and motivational. Requiescat in pace, Maestro Ezio...

Great hero but I don't like him as much as Crash Bandicoot. Luckily,he got a remaster and is good as new! He has nice abilities you can use and has an attitude I totally understand.
Spyro is a classic character, and a rare form of hero because he's not an anthropomorphic animal, but an animal nonetheless. He's a super awesome character by himself, and even though you can't really play as many other characters in his games, why would you want to?! He's brilliant, witty, and is just way too adorable to handle! And yet he pull off being totally rad?! Cool. Beans!
Spyro the Dragon is probably one of, if not the greatest video game character of his generation. I literally grew up on Spyro and I believe he is one of the best. The plot lines of most of his games were so well written and just the games themselves were just amazing. Except for Enter the Dragonfly, do not talk about Enter the Dragonfly!
Spyro is just awesome. Headstrong attitude and cool looking. Just play his first 3 games. Sad how Insomniac Games gave him up and all these other guys are abusing him.

Pac-Man is obviously the best video game character of all time. Almost everyone knows about Pac-Man and many of us grew up with this simple character that was just a little yellow dot that kept on beating and getting beaten by the ghosts. His design is so simple and yet so amazing and although he has grown to wear gloves and some shoes, he is still that simple yellow dot that we loved as a child.
To be honest, I think Mario and Zelda are a bit overrated. They are both about princes, saving princesses and being held back by evil villains. Pac-Man was before Mario and Zelda and still has a more original plot than them. He doesn't need a green plumber or a shiny fairy to tell him what to do. Also, he is taking on four villains that can all kill him in one shot.
Whilst Mario has unreal jumping abilities, Sonic can run really fast, and Pikachu can literally shoot lightning, Pac-Man is stuck in a maze, with ghosts chasing him, and the only way he can get out is by eating. ...more
Pac-Man was so cute & funny in Pac-Man World. Chris Brown wold be a great voice for Pac-Man, especially if Pac-Man has his Pac-Man World/Mario Kart Arcade GP/Super Smash Bros. 4 design. He would be a great partner towards Princess Daisy, NOT the bossy & stupid Princess Peach.
The first ever video game character to have a legit personality. The rectangles in Pong are... rectangles. The aliens in Space Invaders are... aliens. The ball in Breakout is... a ball. But Pac-Man swept them away with his adventure spin-offs.
In my opinion he should be number 1. Sure characters like Mario and Sonic are more well known but Pacman was pretty much the first major video game mascot.

If you watched any of my Mario characters remixes you know the song. From what we've seen Wario is the exact same for personality., he didn't make anything interesting for being unique, at least I love his design, and I agree that putting him in a game where he could shine, like what they did for Bowser Jr in Bowser Jr's journey, maybe he could become amazing. Nintendo please make a new Wario Land with Waluigi as a second player or as an alternate character with different abilities, like in Super Mario 64 DS or the lost levels.
He's my 3rd favourite video game character ( after Mario and Daisy). I was really upset when I found out he wasn't in SSBU as a playable character, but I found out he was a pretty good assist trophy. He's also an amazing character in Mario Kart as well
Overrated ass filler garbage. He's just overhyped meme trash. I'm glad Waluigi's lame ass didn't get into Smash. He and his obnoxious fandom sucks. Worse Mario character ever.
So damn underrated, this dude's one of the classiest, funniest and most charismatic ever, he's epic in Strikers Charged, how is he not in Smash yet?

Think about it he has so right
What the hell is wrong with you I'ts thanks to minecraft STEVE that we even have skins at all.
Minecraft fanbase is NOT bad Its mutch better than other games, the songs are beautiful, scary and legendary and Steve are more powerfuller than even Asura, yes the true STEVE with or without Creative mod so is he extremely strong! Can be owerpowerd by creative mode or enchanting Diamond armor and sword! Okey a fight between Mario and Steve. Steve would easily win by even Star-mario by using just a lava bucket AND a fight between Asura NO you have wrong! The easiest way for Steve to win is to destroy the universe they are in. Did you know that STEVE can do that!
He's not bad he is cute, cool, strong, AWESOME and STEVE is almost a GOD!
Steve is the most powerful video game character of all time.
1) He can carry 576 solid gold blocks in his HOTBAR!
2) He cut down entire forests with his fists.
3) He can beat a zombie to death using a piece of string...
4) jump of a cliff into a puddle and live...
5) carry lava in a bucket...
6) dig to the bottom of the world...
7) go to hell and come back alive...
8) travel through dimensions...
9) build a fully functional set of armor out of diamonds...
10) and if he wants to, build a giant bomb and destroy the land all around him.
That's just the tip of the iceberg ladies and gents.
This man can do anything but jump a fence. He can carry the weight of 2 Eiffel Towers in his pockets, and it doesn't affect him in any way. Yet no matter what, he can't jump a fence. :(
Sure, Bowser is strong, but who cares about him when Steve is the strongest game character IN THE WORLD? Steve should be in the top ten.

When you start playing as him, you better be ready. He could be asleep on some rails, or be in a strip club with only his boxers on.
WHAT? Trevor is so funny! There's not one cutscene that sucks whenever he's involved in it. He easily deserves #1 on this list!
Ah how I love trevor, the best in Grand Theft Auto V.
Most crazy hilarious video game character ever!

"Sorry Mario but your princess is in another castle." Toad should not get hate just because some toads said this line in the original Super Mario Bros. Toad is very funny and cute.
I think he's really good, and I think he should've been in SSBU as a playable character. However, his voice is a little weird. He's one of my favourite characters.
He is more like a Mushroom.
O Lord, My Beloved Lord, save me from the Nintendo fanbase.
Toad is better than Mario! Go away, follow me on twitter! (That's just a joke)

When I was a kid, I thought Rosalina was awesome, and I was happy that she got herself in smash 4. However, while I still think putting her in smash was a good idea, she isn't that great. Her personality amounts to be calm and caring since she is the mother of the lumas, but that's it. Sure she has a cool backstory, but when you think about it, her backstory doesn't give a lot to Super Mario Galaxy's story, it's just a bonus. Also people say that her power to reset the universe is cool, but I don't think she actually has this power (it looks more like it was the lumas entering into the black hole that causes the universe to reset), and even if she had, by seeing her in danger during Super Mario Galaxy 2, I don't think she can do that on demand, and I sincerely doubt she can decide how the universe will reset either, so she is not as powerful as people says.
Honestly, Rosalina is an OKAY character.
I'm not exactly interested in a Space Goddess.
After all, she's number 34 out of HOW MANY characters to ever exist in gaming? She's relatively high actually.
Ok guys why 729!? She is so much better than that! I was expecting her to be like 50 but not 729! She is wise caring, magical and beautiful inside and out. I don't know why she is on the bottom. Vote for her... please.
Rosalina should come in at least top 2. Why is she completely 18 times lower than Princess Peach? Rosalina is the best rival for Inky (from Pac-Man).
