I've always had a fondness for Waddle-Dee... if that counts.

Slightly obscure, slightly unliked, and slightly alternative (to the major mascots)? I can only think of one character:

She's quite possibly Nintendo's greatest character in several years. Yeah, she's annoying when you first meet her; even I wanted to strangle her. But how she changes as TP progresses is one of the most beautiful things in gaming. That, and her personality screams "mascot."

If we're talking about characters who appear in more than one game, then I'd have to go with Travis Touchdown.

I picked Travis mainly because he's really obscure, and not an ordinary video game character. He's a nerd, and he's proud of it. That, and he could be a decent representative for gaming, if he weren't so bloodthirsty and arrogant.

id say protoman. he always seemed like the "much cooler" brother to me.
maybe its those sexy glasses

 

[Random Argument Man]

Pyramid Head is a mascot for me. Poor guy, he's been treated badly recently.

I think my avatar answers this question itself. Jack Frost from SMT is just irresistibly adorable.

Seconded.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

I would have to say the Moogles of Final Fantasy. Adorable yet badass, you never know whether to join them, run away, or go up and hug them.

 

[zeahman]

i know he might not be a masoct but DOM!!! god every other act its his freaking wife!!!! buged the crap out of me during insane!!!!!

I don't think they're exactly mascot material... but I'd say Benjamin and Anthony Carmine from the Gears of War series.

They're like gamers that actually have the chance to be in the game, and perform about as well as I imagine the average gamer would in such a situation.

You stole my answers... >_>

The Carmines are far and away my favorite characters from the Gears series. My friends and I noticed that each one survives longer than the last, so we figure the last Carmine brother will be some badass super-soldier who'll actually live to the end of the game.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

The Companion Cube from Portal.

I can only hope so.
Hopefully, he'll last all game (and into the sequel that you know is going to come about after GOW3, just because people will buy it no matter what), and hopefully, he'll still be able to keep his geeky charm, as in Anthony and Benjamin.

 

[Nova Tendril]

I also like the giant worm from Gears 2. Everyone remembers the giant worm.

 

[ZeroMachine]

^ This guy. John Vattic from Second Sight. I love that game, and the story is amazing (even though a bit cliched at points). Plus, the fact that Vattic is a super-powerful psychic, good with a gun (especially snipers, snipers FTW ), and funny to boot, the guy is awesome. He can be a complete badass when he needs to be, and the rest of the time he's a nerd. It's awesome.

 

[cancerbombs]

I've got two...

Toejam and Earl, just seeing them brings back good memories of sitting around doing nothing but playing that game all day long.

And, cliche as it is, chocobos! Just hearing their "KWEH!" brings me straight back to my childhood, it's a good feeling.

 

[Cairo]

Does anyone else remember the monkey, Data, from Megaman Legends? I loved that game and his little dance at the save screen.
Also, servbots.

How can you not like a half-crazed but oh so lovable and rightgeous Barbarian Ranger with his Giant Minature Space Hamster companion, whom imprint their boots of justice into the swollen and unsightlky backside of Evil, anywhere it'd hides!?!!

Also, HK-47 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg1gTas7OAA&feature=related].

...March Mayhem is making me Bioware-minded? Sheesh, nonesense!


XD

 

[Shapsters]

Well, Mario is a overall wearing, moustache touting plumber. Not really your ideal super hero, I mean, come on, look at this guy!

Also, Pac-Man is ridiculous.

 

[El Taco the Rogue]

the companion cube, M Bison, and Barney from HL2
