Refa Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This is too easy.

Dig Dug & His Dinosaur Pal (that he's inflating to death because Dig Dug is a sociopath) 9. Bub & Bob (I dunno, the main characters for Bubble Bobble) 10.

omglmaowtf Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah, I figured I was probably overestimating Bub and Bob's iconicness, but since Taito did use them for both the Bubble Bobble and Bust-A-Move series (which I'm probably overestimating the prevalence/popularity of), I do kind of feel like that makes them Taito's "Mario," in terms of using a character in different gameplay styles. Blinx, yeah, I definitely know he's not popular or iconic. The main reason I actually included him in the list is because Microsoft was actually considering making him the mascot of the XBox brand, since Blinx as a cartoony cat was thought to have had a much wider appeal to different groups (females, younger kids, etc.) than Master Chief (who'd mainly appeal to older guys). Well, we know that plan didn't carry out, but I was still curious as to how much people recognize him, being a character that had the potential to become the cartoony mascot for an entire game console brand. To me, iconic means instantly recognizable even by mainstream standards Bub, Bob, Dig Dug, & Blinx are never gonna get Megaman, Ryu, or Solid Snake's worldwide recognizability.
