Top Ten Coolest Looking Nintendo Characters

Dark Samus

While Samus could very easily have made this list, we decided that her alter-ego was just flat out the better decision. Cooler colors and just overall, more badass. The suit takes the cake on our list of the Top Ten Coolest Looking Nintendo Characters.

Captain Falcon

Douglas Jay Falcon, known commonly as Captain Falcon, is a playable character in the racing video game series F-Zero. He first appeared in the original F-Zero game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. Captain Falcon is also a prominent fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series... read more

The master of style. Ya sure, he was cool in his own games. But in Super Smash Bros. , he turns into the legend of swag. From the knee to his extremely famous falcon punch, Falcon quite intuitively made a name for himself by all gamers worldwide.

Ganon

Nope, not the 'Dorf, this enormous, disgusting beast. In appearance he looks frightening, and in battle, he is relentless. Now who is the last monster I'd want to be eaten alive by? This behemoth.

Meta Knight

Meta Knight is a fictional character from the Kirby series of video games created by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. He is often portrayed as one of Kirby's rivals, although he sometimes allies with Kirby to battle common enemies.... read more

The thing that makes Meta Knight so badass is that in reality, he's virtually Kirby with a suit. His voice is deep and intimidating, but his agility and swordsmanship make him a front runner on our list of coolest looking Nintendo characters. Plus, dem wings doe.

I just spam the tornado move-no one can touch me! He does look quite cool though!

The mask makes him look so cool.

Dry Bowser

Dry Bowser is the skeletal version of Bowser, the main antagonist of the Mario franchise. He first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS, after Bowser was dropped into lava and re-emerged as a skeleton.

Since then, Dry Bowser has appeared in titles like Super Mario 3D Land, the... read more

Yes Bowser is cool, but he'd be on the lower half of this list, most likely. Rip out his scaly flesh and grant him a molten shell, and now you have something special. Dry Bowser is not only here because of his looks either. His normal version is one of the most iconic villains in all of gaming.

Primal Groudon

Screw big whales or flying snakes. Lets talk huge, red T. Rex type of Pokemon. And not just his basic form, that'd be far too boring. His primal form, in which he seems to have a lava-filled inside, is easiest the coolest looking Pokemon. He has the ability to expand continents and dongs worldwide. If you ever were to see a Groudon in real life, your only chance of survival would be to be holding none other than a master ball. Best o' luck!

Wolf

Wolf is a very interesting character in the Star Fox series. He's part villain, but also aids Fox against the Aparoid army. His design is pretty sweet, but his character is the most interesting thing. He recruits a whole team of his own to aid himself in missions, yet he also seems to have very little worries about anything going wrong ever. Just as if he ruled space.

Mewtwo

Mewtwo is a Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon. Designed by Ken Sugimori, it first appeared in Pokémon Red and Blue in 1996.

Created by Dr. Fuji through gene splicing to clone Mew, Mewtwo is known in game lore as one of the most powerful Pokémon. In later games, it can undergo Mega Evolution into... read more

Mewtwo just does not give two cares. He's a psychic Pokemon that Shoot giants orbs of energy at you, or simply just destroy your life with his mind. Known to be remorseless to enemies, this Pokemon thrives in battle, and at looking cool in general.

Toadette

Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube game Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in 2003. Since then, she has appeared in multiple Mario titles, often as a playable character.

Niranira

Twinbellows

What's scarier than a dog with two heads? A molten dog with it's spine sticking out. This enemy is very much like Cerberus, except two-headed and flaming. It is also the gatekeeper of the underworld, if everything else didn't seem badass enough.

This should be number one they are more terrifying tan anything

Deathborn

Samus

Ridley, the antagonist of Metroid, checks in at the number 10 spot on our list. Some may put him higher, but due to the fact that he has more of a cliche design, we believe he belongs where he is. Yes he's extremely badass, but has a bit of a simpler character design than others on our list.
