    EDIT: He's from a game called Bagman, and I'll assume he is the bagman (thanks Ed Oscuro):

    EDIT: Bentley Bear from Crystal Castle (thanks Insane David for the game, thanks to Hammy for it being named Bentley Bear):

    EDIT: It's a robot from Berzerk (thanks Sothy):

    EDIT: It's from Hang-On (thanks Sothy for saying it's not from Excite Bike, thanks to InsaneDavid for telling me what it's from):

    I had a bunch of them identified for you, but the damn window closed before I could submit it.

    I'll stick to just 2 and leave the rest to better people than me.

    1. The space go kart as you said, the ship from Fantasy Zone (sega ver. obviously)

    2. The guy climbing is the guy from crazy climber.

    The "apparently he likes guns" guy looks vaguely like the guy from Shamus...but I'm pretty sure he's not.

    Bagman


    Kind-of reminds me of the Shoney's bear:
    Bentley Bear

    It's red...could be a robot:

    A yellow version of that robot[?]
    they are off berzerk, no idea what they are called

    Not sure, what this is, but it looks like Arthur from Ghosts 'N' Goblins, but with better animation (and it sort-of looks like it's on a sega system).
    spot on

    Weird...
    That's a baddie from GORF

    Not sure, as I've never been a fan of racing games, but I'll guess Excitebike:
    that's Hang - On

    I think it's a hot dog from Burger Time:
    Yep

    Kinda reminds me of that Kangaroo from Tekken 2 (Alex?):
    it's the kangaroo from "Kangaroo" !

    Kinda reminds me of Golden Axe:
    as stated above, that's from magic sword

    Heh, I dont even know what game my avatar's from. Just thought it was the best to represent me.

    BTW- the "dinosaur"/dragon from Dig Dug has a name- Fygar.
    The round guy is Pooka.

    As for the rest of the icons, you should look at the names of the pictures because that's a dead give-away on what they are from.

    I'm pretty sure the Vampire is from Ghoost House on the SMS. Released here in the states on a card, may be a cart elsewhere.

    You got the name right, but the game wrong:

    I'm Sorry

    Well, the newer game uses the same character. I just figured someone made a smaller icon from the newer game.

    It's not the same character. :P Both games use a generic Japanese person as their main character, but I'm Sorry uses what appears to be a salaryman (office worker). I'm Okay (A Murder Simulator) uses a fat guy which looks Japanese, but has glasses, is balding, has a combover and huge lips. It's based on many different 'funny' ways to draw characters in anime and manga.

    Oh well, something like that. They all looked the same to me at the time.
