if you think about nearly all gaming mascots are strange
mario: a small fat Italian plumber who eats mushrooms
sonic: a fast blue hedgehog who has an American accent and look at this

Alexx Kidd, Sonic's predecessor, whom was thrown away by 1991. Really, they should just follow Yahtzee's plan and shoot Sonic, then bring back Alex as a Clockwork Orange style chaotic evil protaganist.

Glover from Glover 64.
He rolled around on a magic ball he could transform at will, plus from what I remember that game was difficult as balls (pun intended).
Oh wow I had forgotten all about that game. I barely beat it. That hits the nail on the head that game was awesome yet Ball bouncingly difficulty. Yet still fun.

Here are my inputs:
The cuddly, oh so big and fluffy first colossus of SotC.
Issun of Okami.
Glottis of Grim Fandango.
Evil the Cat of Earthworm Jim.
Bill of Pokemon.
The Tediz of Conker's Bad Fur Day... actually almost any character from that game could work... the great mighty poo, the dung beetles, the bees anyone.
The lost vikings.
Cool Spot.

Cooking Mama. She is a perfect mascot for why video games will never be taken seriously

Zool was amazing, I was rather too young to understand significant attention given too video games.
My friends who owned an Amiga didn't have a copy of it but my grand father did, so I'd assume it got some renown somewhere.

I thought Zool was pretty awesome, back in the day he was my homeboy rather than that fat plumber or the speeding blue hedgehog.

His time in the spotlight has finally arrived:

James Pond: Underwater Agent. With level titles like a view to spill and solid platforming mechanics, this secret agent of a fish was criminally overlooked during the height of the Mario vs. Sonic Craze.
Everything about James Pond is awesome, James Pond 2 Robocop was the birth of in your face gaming satire, James Pond 3 is the greatest 2d platform game ever created, its like it had a physics engine.
This. James Pond 3: Operation Starfish was the first game I got for the first console I got: the Sega Mega Drive. And lord, was it glorious. Even when I was as wee as I was, I could grasp the epic that was this game. So long, so original, so hard, and so much fun, I have yet to meet a platform game that can match it.

Ah yes, I also remember John Vattic. That game was a bit clunky, but a lot of fun.

Apart from James Pond and his partners Findus Frog and that lady fish I can not remember the name of, I have to mention Cupil from Skies of Arcadia when it comes to mascots. He is fairly quirky, and fits Fina so well. Not to mention powerful.

I love Sheik from the Zelda games(OoT). But you never hear about her. I think she's female anyway...

She's like a ninja in the Zelda world, and just totally awesome. ^^
Wait... you do know who she is, right?

HK-47 from KotOR, definitely.

HK-47: "Answer: Simply that the distinction between 'killer' and 'killee' be a clear one.
I cannot kill of my own volition, naturally."
Revan: "I don't think 'killee' is a word."
HK-47: "Expletive: Damn it, master, I am an assassination droid... not a dictionary!"





Edit: Oh, and murlocs.
