Before Smash Bros., R.O.B. had numerous cameos
as an actual character (and some as a prop such as Pikmin and F-Zero GX), most notable one being a hidden playable racer in Mario Kart DS.
And Diskun? He's more than just a logo; he's an actual character. A character to serve as the mascot of the Famicom Disk System. He too has had game cameos, but those are more scarce since he never really
left the Disk System.
The N64 Logo? Just a ****ing logo. Oh, so it moves like an animal in Banjo-Kazooie's opening? Big deal. Doesn't make it a legitimate character.
What's next? The
Gamecube Logo? Since Melee was huge and the Gamecube had many easter eggs in various titles INCLUDING Melee?
Ladies and Germs, meet your next great All-Star!
Don't even
attempt to compare a
logo to Wii Fit Trainer. At least she's a legitimate character from a newer franchise that somehow rakes in big bucks.
Only credit you can give the
N64 Logo is that it appears in every first party title before the title screen since, you know, it's a ****ing LOGO. And that somehow makes it a good idea?
