What's your favorite character idle animations.

[8-Bit Archeology]

I always get a kick out of the animations and actions of idle characters that designers threw in for that funny little touch.

This is the action the players character does when the game is left idle. From Sonic giving you that stare to Duke saying "What are you waiting for Christmas?"

Whats your favorite?

My favorite by far is Conker in Bad Fur Day. He shouts how bored he is or checks his watch, the best is hearing "are they dead, HEY DID YOU DIE?"

Dixie and Diddy's animations from DKC2.

Not only because that's one of my favorite games ever, but also because the idle animations are ones you'd bound to see as as they trigger during any text interaction with NPCs.

That's what stands out in my mind.

Seeing the lights turn on and the kids playing a linked up Game Boy game with the theater border on the Super Game Boy.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but Ken Griffey Jr's Winning Run for SNES has a good one with the umpire. Sorry about the intro, you can't seem to embed with a time position code:

Another idle animation from Conker that amused me was the one where he said "Hey, what are you doing? Hey, stop doing that! You'll go blind!". Ah, the high level of class and sophistication we've grown to expect from Conker's Bad Fur Day LOL

I've always quite distinctly remembered the idle animation from Sonic CD, simply because it's the only instance of an idle animation that can actually kill you (do nothing for three minutes, and Sonic will say "I'm outta here!" and jump off the stage, resulting in an instant Game Over). Caught me off-guard first time I saw it!

Daxter animations from Jak and Daxter.

Also, saw this awhile ago. I've never played the game but some amazing idle animations. This is one of the games I'm purchasing once I get a Wii U(not because of the idle animations.)

I always really liked the idle animations in Chrono Trigger while you're on the world map. Specifically Crono and Lucca.
