Characters that are best known in two countries/continents.

[parrothead]

This thread is about creating a list of characters that are best known in two countries or continents. What I mean is, that there are some characters that appeared in titles released in only two countries or continents. Do these characters count as world-known characters?

Here are several examples that I could think of:

Ness (MOTHER 2/SNES EarthBound) (Japan and North America)
Geno and Mallow (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) (Japan and North America)
Doshin and Jashin (Doshin the Giant) (Japan and Europe)
Mike Jones (StarTropics) (North America and Europe; Zoda's Revenge was only released in North America)
Kururin (Kuru Kuru Kururin) (Japan and Europe; sequels only released in Japan)
Alice (Balloon Kid - North America; Balloon Fight GB - Japan)
Saki Amamiya (Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Earth) (Japan for the N64, and China for the iQue)
Mr. Stevenson (Gumshoe) (North America and Europe)
Characters from Custom Robo: Battle Revolution and Custom Robo Arena (Japan and North America)

That's about all I could think of. Anyone else I'm missing?

Well, correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't Earthbound Zero (Mother 1) come out in Europe (Or at least get re-issued for the GBA or something)? That makes Ninten one of those characters.

MOTHER 1 / NES EarthBound was only released in Japan.

NES EarthBound (or "Earth Bound" with a space) = the cancelled NES title
EarthBound ZERO = Pirated version of NES EarthBound

Hm. I guess I thought that they released the GBA reissue of Mother 1 + 2 in Europe. A quick trip to Starmen.net proves me wrong.

Oh man, I would so love it if a character from Custom Robo made it into Brawl. I'm thinkin....Ray Mk II.

The reason why I created this thread, is that it's not just Japan-Only characters that matters, it's also characters known in only two countries / continents.
