i'm guessing half of the sonic cast is a good place to start.

Waluigi, he's annoying, and unnoriginal. I mean, Wario was cool, but does Luigi need an evil version? How about Woad, Weach and Woopa Wroopa

At least Navi the freaking fairy is dead. Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen!
Also, Tingle really is TERRIBLE. But, he is better than that girl you find in the water level in Ocarina of Time.

Tails. He ruined the Sonic sequels for me. There is no reason to have an NPC following Sonic around.

What FF VII sequels?

Wario is cool, Waluigi is alright, but I think an evil version of Peach would be awesome (named other than Weach, of course). Nintendo needs to have more badass woman characters...Samus is the only female who gets shit done in Nintendo land. All Peach does is run from castle to castle and get kidnapped...same thing with Princess Zelda. Give them a makeover and make new games where evil Peach and Zelda are the main characters!

Big the Cat is rather hated, I don't mind him as much. Cream and Cheese are pretty damn useless though.

For me that would be Falco (Starfox) and Maniac (Wing Commander). They managed to turn goody-two-shoes me into a TKing bastard.

I forgot to mention all of sonic´s friends. I want to play a game with sonic alone!

At least it's fun to kill him. :)

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Slippy yet...that gets my vote.

Oh, and Tingle, too. I hate that little guy.

I liked Maniac in a "I can't stand him" sort of way. He was supposed to be a dick. The problem with Wing Commander was that once it started using FMV, everyone got really annoying.

Tails!? Are you serious? Tails is almost a necessity to have with Sonic. How else does Sonic intend to get up to Eggman's many flying airbase contraptions without Tail's handy plane? I loved Tails, and with the fun double team flight move in Sonic 3 it was a blast. Knuckles is also necessary I feel. Puts a meaning behind the Chaos Emeralds, plus Knuckles is just the plain cool strong badass. Now as for Big, E-102, Cream, Amy, etc.. I don't feel they were really necessary. They should be gone. Just go back to the original Duo of Sonic & Tails with Knuckles as still an ally but not forced to make them a Trio.

Waluigi I agree was retarded. As was Daisy the brown haired Princess. I like most sidekicks in video games, it gets boring if it's just a single hero. Because ultimately the bad guy is gonna get the best of the hero and you need a back-up character to bail em out.

Waluigi is one I couldn't stand...

Can't think of too many others.

Second vote for Yoshi. Man I hate that pile of shit. His games suck and he’s only fouled up the Mario franchise. He’s not cute, he’s not innovative and he’s downright annoying.

I guess this will probalby me just a me thing, but I think Link is a pretty gay character. I like his main games, like Ocarina of Time, and eventually a new one, but I think he is one boring character. Just not neato. Keep his games up, but don't put him in things like Smash Bros.

Tingle from Zelda series

Big the Cat from Sonic Adventure series

Waluigi from anything they throw him in

Ryu (Does every fighter by Capcom need him? seriously give him one resting moment..)

Kyo (Can't stand this SNK character, between him and Iori, it really distracts the purpose of KOF when these two drama queens get in the way)

Yoshi I agree on as well, they have been throwing him at every spin-off they could possibly think of since "YOSHI" the puzzler on NES/GameBoy

Evil Peach would only work if she was hot and slutty. Turn her into Brittney Spears - that would rock.

I'm always afraid Bubsy the Bobcat will come back from the dead. What could possibly go wrong?

Good calls on Waluigi and Jar Jar.

Here's an original suggestion: Shao Kahn, the final (and ultra cheap) boss of Mortal Kombat 2 and Mortal Kombat 3. His moves take off incredible amount of damage, are difficult to avoid, and there's a good chance that you've lost once he gets you trapped in a corner. He can relentlessly drain your energy by kicking you and there's nothing you can do to stop him since he doens't have to recover from many of his attacks.

Tails and Amy are the only two characters from the Sonic universe that I DO like (yes, I am serious). But they are both almost universally hated for some reason, so I guess they fit the bill for this topic.

Baby Mario and Luigi. I never really saw the point of them, other than filler characters for Nintendo to use in Mario subgames.

Daisy too. So, where's Pauline?

Jar Jar, Cid from FF (too many times has he showed up), Waluigi, and Diddy Kong
