The mascots

The mascots are the characters that appear in the upper right corner of the site. The first XX images were added to the site in 200X. As of March 1, 2008, there are 152 mascot images. Only djpretzel knows when, if ever, and which new ones will be added.

The project

The articles

Each of the mascots has at least one article, also referred to as a bio. A few of them (Crono, Princess Zelda, and Solid Snake) have more than one image, but only one article, which means that clicking either of the images will redirect you to the same page.

The articles were written with a few things in mind:

  • They are meant as an introduction - not a full, detailed history that reveals everything about the mascot.
  • We did our best to keep spoilers at a minimum.
  • Each article lists the sources used when writing it.

The Darkstalker mascots had special treatment because the one who wrote them, the Coop, posted all of his articles in a very short period of time, before anyone had a chance to tell him about the rules. Considering the amount of work put in and their outstanding quality, we added his first set of articles as bonus articles.

Each mascot has a list of appearances. We initially wanted to list every game that a character had been in, but for some characters (e.g. Mario), the list got ridiculously long, and so we had to settle for the following:

  • All games that this character is in and that has remixes on this site are listed. If we missed any, tell us.
  • Some characters have been in very few or none of the games that have remixes on this site. In those cases, we have added a few games to the list for reference.

Origins / History

DarkeSword turned a thread titelled "The guy on top", started by Dafydd, into a project by appointing him the project co-ordinator and changing the thread title. The first post, now edited an enormous number of times, originally read:

I was just thinking about the game characters that show up on the right on the site header... half of them I don't know who they are. Wouldn't it be great if you could click them and end up at a page (hosted here) that gave you some quick facts about who they are, their game appearances, life stories etc.?

... and the rest is history.
