Top Ten Most Over-Hated Nintendo Characters of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Princess Peach Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. Franchise. She is the lead female of the The Mario franchise. She is usually the character who needs saved in most Mario Games, but also has appeared as a playable character in the Main-Series Mario Games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Run, and even starred in her own game, Super Princess Peach for the Nintendo... read more

I see a lot of hypocrisy with this character.

They hate her for being blonde, even though their beloved Rosalina (her hair is platinum blonde not white) and Zelda are also blonde.

They call her weak, even though they mention the games where she is an amazing character in fighting (not just smash).

They call her stupid, even though she can send letters to Mario with some items in them, and actually knows how to jump off an open platform (unlike Pauline, she could have escaped if she was conscious about the barrels and fireballs).

They call her bossy, obsessive and annoying, even though that's Amy, and used Kootie Pie (Wendy)'s "Daddykins is so bossy I could spit in his soup" quote just to make up another excuse to hate her.

They say her fanbase is annoying, even though the fanbase can't be controlled/manipulated.

They insult her for her voice (literally the most overused reason in history), even though that isn't even her (it's a real person).

They hate her for being kidnapped all the time, even though that was her original purpose (just like Rosalina's original purpose was to guide Mario and give him his spin attack but she continued on didn't she? ).

2 Krystal

As much as the furry fandom is bad, Krystal also suffers from a horrible hatedom as well. Some blame her for ruining the Star Fox series when really, she didn't appear in Star Fox 64 and it's remake, as well as the SNES original, and she is not the worst fictional character in the world (she has flaws but still can be improved if given the right characterization or such). Krystal has been portrayed worse in the furry fandom than in the Star Fox games, as there is still hope left, if anything.

You know... I never really considered adding her to this list because I don't know much about Star Fox. however, after reading these comments and Browsing through the Internet myself, I'm glad that she's first. She definitely deserves either first or second behind bowser junior.

If you look up Krystal Smashified on YouTube (either the commentary or instrumental version, they both have it), there's a comment by D4rk Luminox that calls out the Krystal haters on their B.S. excuses. It's way too big to copy and paste here, but it's worth your time.

3 Bowser Junior

I've seen two Top Ten Hated Video Game Characters list with Bowser Jr in them. Both of them describe Bowser Jr as an annoying brat. I can see why people don't like him as a character in general, but as a VILLAIN I don't know why. Bowser Jr doesn't have some vengeance or hatred for Mario, he tries to defeat him to please his father. That's why I really like him as a character/villain. Also, I've never found him annoying.

People hate Bowser Jr. simply because he's not the Koopalings, yet that doesn't stop the Koopalings from making an appearance in the later games since New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Then there's the fact that the Koopalings aren't Bowser's children anymore, but rather his cronies instead, with Jr. being his only son. But that's no excuse to hate on Bowser Jr.

He didn't replace the Koopalings. They still appear in gmaes. The Koopalings are no longer Bowser's Children? Not Junior's Fault! In my opinion of course! In my opinion!

Favorite mario character

4 Toon Link

Why are so many good Nintendo characters hated? I have no problem with Toon Link. I actually think its pretty interesting to play as a diffrent kind of Link.

I don't hear many people complain about how people him, I hear mainly haters about peach

Thelegend Of Zelda: The Win Waker has an art style that gets a lot of hate! It thought that it was unique!

Why is Toon Link number 3 on this list!?!? Are you kidding me!?

5 Pikachu Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese pop culture, due to its companionship with Ash Ketchum in the anime series. Pikachu has been featured in movies such as Pokemon Detective Pikachu as well as music videos - most notably Katy Perry's "Electric" in 2021.

Quoting river clan rocks overhated more like overrated yes that is very true most people do not know any other than Pokemon than pikachu and I don't mind pikachu I like raichu and I absoluteley hate pichu

I think that Pikachu haters are obnoxious. It is still a good Pokemon despite that you see it everywhere. (especially when you evolve it into Raichu)

They hate him because he's the most well known Pokemon, even though he isn't the strongest and think he's overrated.

I will take his dna for my clones. Proves pikachu isn't that bad

6 Lana (Hyrule Warriors)

Let's hate a character because of their hair color and being an original character! Oh wait...

7 Wendy O. Koopa Wendy O. Koopa is a female villain in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. She is the only female member of the Koopalings and is usually found assisting Bowser on his wicked plans with the rest of the Koopalings. She first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1988 and since then has been a reappearing foe in the Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. series. She has also appeared as a villain in the... read more
8 Charizard Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. Created by Ken Sugimori, Charizard first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. They have later appeared in various merchandise, spinoff titles and animated ...read more.

Charizard is my favorite Pokemon but I do not think that Charizard is the best Pokemon, Charizard is jsut my personal favorite Poekmon!
There was a time when Charizard was insanely overrated! In my opinion! This is no longer the case! In my opinion! Now, whenever someone praises Charizard, people just brush off there comments by saying "stelath rocks".

I like him and he is super overrated and I've never heard anyone say they hate him well actually I've never heard anyone say he is not their faviroue Pokemon other than pikachu

I like Charizard but I prefer Blastoise. I don't think it's overrated, though. It is loved by many, yes, but still not overrated.

Charizard is like Call of Duty. It was once overrated, yet it has so many haters now that it can't be called that anymore.

9 King Dedede King Dedede is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of the Kirby series of video games owned by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory.
10 Princess Zelda Princess Zelda is a fictional character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda video game series, created by Shigeru Miyamoto and introduced in its original entry in 1986.

Eh, she's cool, I guess.

Pretty and nice

The Contenders
11 Samus Aran Samus Aran is the protagonist of the science fiction action-adventure game series Metroid by Nintendo. A galactic bounty hunter, Samus is usually equipped with her Power Suit, giving her access to weapons she uses to battle her enemies.

That's only because the DeviantART fangirls ran out of porn ideas.

Fanboys keep making porn images for her on DeviantART.
(On one hand makes sense cause she's so sexy but on the other hand its just obnoxious)

12 Toad 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.

I voted for this because somehow I don't think people understand what this list is really about...

He's annoying, but I wouldn't understand if he wasn't in the games

sorry but the princess is in another castle

Toad is very cute.

13 Ridley Ridley is a villain from the Metroid series and a character from the Super Smash Bros. series. He's Samus Aran's archenemy and has been fighting her since day one with the first Metroid game in 1986. When Samus was three years old, Ridley murdered her parents in front of her. He is a member of the Space ...read more.
14 R.O.B. (Super Smash Bros Brawl)

Without ROB, we wouldn't have any of the Nintendo systems after NES.

15 Mario Mario, originally named Jumpman, is the main character of the Super Mario Bros. franchise, created by the creative director and video game designer at Nintendo of Japan, Shigeru Miyamoto. Mario has appeared in almost every Mario game, including games in spin-off series as a playable character, with few exceptions including New Super Luigi U, Luigi's Mansion games, Yoshi's Island games, and similar counterparts. He is the most iconic character in video game history and is Nintendo's unofficial mascot. His franchise has grown to be the most successful video game franchise of all time.
16 Rosalina Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario Franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 Mario Game, Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii and later returned for the game's sequel in 2010. Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario Games and many spinoffs. She has appeared as a playable character in Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U in 2013 and is a playable character in the Mario Kart series and Mario Party series. She also has come into Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS as a part of the large character roster.

After Mario Kart Wii came out which was Rosalina's first playable appearance Mercedes Rose who portrayed Rosalina was replaced by a new actor in the Wii U games Mario Party 10, Mario Kart 8, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash and even the game that came out on the Nintendo 3DS last year Mario Party Star Rush. And that's how she got the old lady voice. Don't believe me? Go buy the four games and play them. They'll prove it to you.

True in fact the major of hatred is based on her old lady voice. Believe me I happen to be one of those people. Most times I feel like I'm going to vomit just by listening to that old lady voice alone.

Rosalina used to be super popular now she's geting a lot of hate: Peach and Daisy fans and even Waluigi fans!

They blame her constantly. They might blame her for ridiculous reasons.
Plus making hated videos out of her isn't going to get Nintendo to remove her out of existence.

Idiot: Clouds limit break sucks I'm blaming Rosalina
Idiot 2: Daisy isn't in Smash WAAAH waah I'm gonna cry now. F you Rosalina
Idiot 3: Peach is so perfect why does everyone pick Rosaslut over her? I'm blaming Rosalina for this because I'm stupid.
Idiot 4: Ow I just broke my thumb, I'm blaming Rosalina for this
Idiot 5: I hate her so much I'm gonna make a YouTube video to diss her and her fans because I'm stupid and I know I can just ignore her but I won't.
Idiot 6: I'm going to attack the fans because I don't respect their opinion.
Idiot 7: I wanna kill her fans because I hate them so much even though I would go to jail for this.

17 Fawful Fawful, known in Japan as Gerakobits, is a fictional character appearing in the Mario & Luigi series of role-playing video games developed by AlphaDream.

Shouldn't be here and makes the funniest lines ever actually that just reminded me I'm going to watch rabbid Luigi now and here is one of the lines the mustard of your doom

An amazing character that gave me laughs upon laughs when rpg came out

Annoying piece of garbage

Overrated not overhated.

18 Princess Daisy (Mario) 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.

Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989, after few other appearances she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).

Daisy is known for being a tomboy especially compared to Princess Peach and Rosalina and... read more

Everyone is free to choose, you can like or hate a character, it's your opinion but Daisy haters are getting this too serious: they attack every Daisy fan and some of those want to KILL Daisy fans but why they hate Daisy? Mainly because "Hi I'm Daisy"... are you kidding? The Hi I'm Daisy is dead, just forget it, everyone can. Another reason? "Daisy is a Peach clonee! " No, Daisy and Peach aren't the same person and this isn't an opinion this is a FACT, this isn't Smash where different characters with the same moveset are clones, here different characters are different characters. And finally "Daisy vs Rosalina"... this wasn't true, stop it. That's why Daisy is over-hated.
Runner ups: Peach, Mario, Rosalina, Zelda, Krystal, Ice climbers.

I'm digging to find Waluigi in this list but Daisy is a close second for me.

You have a point

19 Luma

Who hates Luma?

20 Pink Gold Peach Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuts in Mario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character.

She is big gay

21 Tingle

Yes, he is hated in the west, but that doesn't mean he is the absolutely most offensive and unacceptable fictional character in the entire planet (that goes to Shenzi, Banzai and Ed from The Lion King). People hate Tingle for various reasons, such as because of his looks or for being a rupee hog (if you read a game walkthrough you'll be fine). It's better to accept Tingle as just another addition in the Zelda games like you do with all the other characters rather than complain. If you don't like then don't look. Heck, he's not even that reoccurring as much as he used to be as the developers are aware of the west's dislike for him, and that a newer character such as Midna or Ghirahim may take over the position of being a reoccurring character despite the former being an ally and the latter being an enemy, so there is no need to worry about. Seriously, Tingle isn't something to be freaked out over.

He's just another NPC in the Zelda series. Not sure where the hate come from.

22 Navi

Link should have squashed her.

I actually, um...kinda like Navi.

23 Kirby Kirby is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kirby series of video games owned by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. His first game was created in 1992, and the pink puffball has made his way into the hearts of fans of all ages.

Wait, let me get this straight.

Here we have one of the strongest beings in the universe, going toe-to-toe against the ultimate powers of good and evil, beings with unlimited capabilities, and creatures that can destroy dimensions with a thought. On top of that, he's probably the cutest thing in fictional history.

WHY THE HECK DOES EVERYONE HATE HIM?

Kirby is cool

24 Luigi Luigi, originally a palette swap of Mario named Green Mario, is a major character featured in video games and related media released by Nintendo. Created by prominent game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Luigi is portrayed as the slightly younger, taller fraternal twin brother of Nintendo's unofficial mascot Mario, and appears in many games throughout the Super Mario franchise, often as a sidekick to his brother.

Why Luigi fans didn't understand? He's popular, almost nobody hates him.

25 Ice Climbers

People hate those 2 because they're too strong, but Meta Knight is even stronger and nobody cares.

They don't suck in Smash! You just gotta get used to them!
