The Companion Cube, Tatl from Majora's Mask(because Tatl was so much cooler than Navi, in my opinion), and Trucy Wright's 'The Amazing Mr. Hat' trick.
I don't know. Mr. Hat was cool.

Do you mean GOTO? That dude was a dick. He was so manipulative, being all like "I'll blow up if you don't do what I say"Ixus Illwrath said:
I can't believe no one has mentioned Issun from Okami. He could be annoying at times, but it was funny how he was always so horny. And it's cool that he's an artist.
There was also that priest chick that rides on Ammy's back in that one part and chucks the prayer slips at bad guys (I guess you could call her a sidekick)
Sorry i just read the thread now... oh her name was RaoThaBenMan said:
Beyond:Good & Evil ~ Pey'j & Double H too
Xenosaga ~ Kos-Mos was ... well a walking death machine
AC: Project Phantasma ~ Samika best cilent/sidekick combo ever.
Armored Core 3: Silent Line ~ Valkyrie was the best support in the game.
And of course dozens of the others listed before me
Companion cube: According to [a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_%28video_game%29#Critical_reception]Wikipedia[/a] some people felt worse destroying the Companion Cube than killing the Little Sisters in Bioshock. That's impressive. Even the emotionless rock that I am felt a twinge of pain throwing that defenseless lump of metal into the fire pit. Plus they mention Yahtzee, which is actually what led me to this site and these forums. Thanks, Companion Cube.
Tails: I used to like to stash Sonic out of the way and let Tails fight Robotnik (Eggman? NEVER!) before I actually learned how to play the game.
Luigi: Still deserves his own good titles after all these years. Something which does not involve Mario in any, any way. (The double "any"s is an obscure reference. I like those. Figure it out and win... something)
Diddy Kong: Well, the way I played, Donkey Kong was my sidekick unless I absolutely needed him, but Donkey's name is on the game, so I guess Diddy is really the sidekick.
The cat thing in Heavenly Sword(s): Because it can play twing-twang, that's why.
And while the Joker isn't a hero, I still vote for Harley Quinn as the ultimate sidekick.

Seconded, pudding. Oh, wasn't I supposed to do that?iamnotincompliance said:
Minsc is not sidekick. Minsc uses SWORDS! Anyway, Boo is sidekick, isn't that right? *squeak*
You are an evil, evil man.
Sulik from Fallout 2:
Only ally I picked up on every play through.
Otacon:
He is just awesome.
Any of your fellow resistance fighters from Freedom Fighters:
NPCs that actually helped and weren't just cannon fodder.
Seeing as Companion Cube has been listed, the radio and torch from Silent Hill:
Have an unhealthy attachment to those things.

Alyx Vance from HL2. Most other companions either do nothing but die or are so insanely powerful that they make you feel completely redundant(yes bioshock, getting your own pet BD had a certain "cool" factor the first time but when a shot from a rivet gun(a pneumatic screwdriver for pete's sake!) instantly kills everything even without headshots the rest of the game gets pretty trivial(not that it wasn't already, wrench upgrades+bloodlust=going face to face with elite bouncers and winning without dropping below 75% health)) Alyx can hold her own in a fight about as good as Gordon with a slight weakness towards Hunters and Striders because she doesn't have a gravity gun.
Here's one not mentioned - Elvis, from Perfect Dark. What's not to love about a grey alien running around with (arguably) one of the best guns in the game shouting "Eat hot death, weirdos!!"
Note that you're mostly fighting humans.
And I'm really starting to think I'm the only person in existence who not only didn't give a damn about the companion cube, but would have burned it again, and again, and again. If Valve can get people to love a pink box with a heart on the side as a living thing, they really might as well try for a mind-controlled zombie army. Wait...I think I've said too much...

I only found two uses for Tails in the Mega Drive games:twisted_ideas said:
1) Testing for bottomless pits.
2) Generally torturing for my own personal amusement.
Diddy Kong: He gave Donkey Kong that added coolness factor, and he kicks ass in Brawl.
HK-47: No additional justification needed...meatbag.
Sgt. Cortez (Time Splitters: Future Perfect) : No, not the main protagonist, but the time paradox duplicate of yourself (It gets a little confusing after a while). There's something hillarious about handing yourself the key needed to get past a locked door.
Navi: HEY! LOOK!!! LISTEN!!! These words will haunt my nightmares, but they're so good.
@ Necrohydra: I share your distaste for the companion cube. I mean it was pretty cool and all, but it's not that big of a deal! I mean the [?] blocks from Super Mario serve the same purpose, plus they give you items! If anything, they're better sidekicks than the companion cube.
