Most Forgotten Nintendo Characters
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. Most people forgot Pauline because she appears in Donkey Kong, the Super Mario Super Show, and DS Donkey Kong. But here's Rosalina, only in two games, and she sucks but is everyone's favorite.
Pauline was the first Mario female, starting as a pixel character, and now she's animated. But why did she get lost? Oh yeah, because Bowser stole Donkey Kong's place.
I only know Pauline because she appeared in Mario Odyssey for a bit.
If you don't know who this is, I'll fill you in. He's the main character of a game called StarTropics on the NES. He was planned to be in Brawl and even had official artwork, but was then dropped because StarTropics wasn't released in Japan. He hasn't appeared in a game for over 20 years. That is a truly forgotten character.
StarTropics is such a fun game. It's a shame he's so forgotten. We haven't even gotten other StarTropics characters or even the slightest references in any of Nintendo's recent stuff.
Toad, known in Japan as Kinopio, is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. He assists Princess Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom and will do whatever it takes to help her. He first appeared in the classic game, Super Mario Bros. after being kidnapped by Bowser and his minions. Since then he has... read more
Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, in which she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland. I remember she was an awesome character. So sad that's all I know.
Boo is the most epic Mario character. I love his ability to frighten Mario and to turn invisible.
Did everyone forget that cowardly blue fox? Maybe she's not as popular as I thought she was.
"Babies, I'm a sexy playable character. Your loss."
We all know Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, maybe Dixie and Cranky, but NO ONE remembers Chunky. I knew who Lanky and Tiny were, but it wasn't until a year ago that I knew Chunky Kong is a thing. And you know what? I like him. He has a funny name, a funny personality, and he is super strong - stronger than DK himself. Not to mention that he punches the moon out of orbit! If Chunky is stronger than DK, he could straight up punch Earth and send our planet into destruction. So yeah, look up this ape and you'll probably enjoy him.
Douglas Jay Falcon, known commonly as Captain Falcon, is a playable character in the racing video game series F-Zero. The character himself isn't that forgotten, but more his series in general.
I'm personally a big fan of F-Zero. But the series has been forgotten.
This guy is hardly mentioned, and not a lot of people know of him.
Robot cowboy Super Scope game on the SNES. Fantastic soundtrack.
It was because of Nintendo's "This Game Stinks" commercial that EarthBound did not sell well. Had Nintendo made a better commercial, it would've perhaps been one of the best-selling 90s video games!
Even I could have made a better advertisement!
The only reason the series gained the spotlight is because of the Super Smash Bros. series, from which I also found out about EarthBound and the Mother series.
I want to see anyone in real life who's beaten EarthBound or heck, even heard of EarthBound.
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.
I don't even think he has his own game. I've only seen him in Super Smash Ultimate.
Pit is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kid Icarus series, first appearing in Kid Icarus for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986 and later appearing in Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters for the Game Boy in 1991.She was planned for Super Smash Bros. Melee at one point but was rejected.
If it wasn't for that godawful EarthBound commercial, the series would've sold a lot better, and Mother 3 might have even been released outside Japan!
