Which mascot would be your BFF?


Besties Patreon After Dark, please don't tell Frushtick

Comments

I was totally prepared to be in the minority but apparently people here understand the friend potential of Spyro. God bless

Ash Peake

Pikachu 100%

warriorsoprano

Bubsy is awesomesauce, I played the crap out of that game as a kid before I knew it was bad

Ian Hickey

No Kirby or Pikachu? Absolute travesty of a poll

Nicole Levay

I think as a wingman I would want Sonic, but as a confident that I told my darkest and deepest secrets too, maybe Mario.

jtingl

My real answer (that isn't on the poll) is Clank.

AaronElWhite

In terms of a friend? You'd rather be friends with Gex than Spyro? I don't know that I could handle being in a room with Gex for 5 minutes.

Nick Hammond

Life gives you the chance to be friends with a fuckin dragon, you take that chance, dammit. (sorry for being aggro)

Ben The DorkKnight

Spyro???? Really???? Wild. In comparison to all of these Spyro is one of the least recognizable mascots in videogame history. Also one of the ones with the least amount of personality. F*cking GEX is a better mascot, at least I get what his deal is.

Majima Cookie

Surprised to see Spyro so high. 👀

Burn Things

God bless the 1% of people that chose Bonk

Sean Petersen

Spyro's just a good dude overall. The others definitely have some skeletons in their closet

IHaveARussFrushtickBodyPillow

We all want Sonic to be our BFF, but we all settle for Gex.

Perry Alter

As much as I would like to say I choose this character because they could hold the world on their shoulders for me, that would be a lie. I KNOW Crash Bandicoot would just smoke weed and eat Jack in the Box tacos with me. True BFF

Kyle Conner

No Banjo and Kazooie? They’re my best friends.

Mike Kenney

Other: Mega Man

David Nelson

For the record, Gex rhymes with sex.

Lucas Shears

What on earth? I’m always surprised by the Spyro love. Very cool to see though.

James Prothero

Blinx has a vacuum, so I know their place would be clean when I come over.

Ari

Spyro's the only series I actually got to be part of development in, so it's no contest.

Josh C

gex because my man would do a themed halloween costume with you every single year. best part is, it doesn't matter what kind of theme you want to do- whatever you choose, he's already got a costume to match.

Isaac Smith

Pet dragon lfg

Alex Kelly

Spyro sweep

bradybear

Of the options, Spyro seems like the one who is most likely to actually help a friend out. Mario is willing to help out Peach when kidnapped, sure; but man, is he a jerk when he is competing with his friends in kart racing or other sports.

Patrick Hightower

Astrobot may be a newcomer but he’s my choice by far. He’s adorable and sings his own theme song, what could be better?

Kate

I want to say Crash, but I also think he would push me into traffic....soooo best friends?

Phiki

The patreon just feels so right. I know they had their reasons, but I'm surprised they didn't make this leap sooner

Mysterious Pirate Rat

Oh that's just my friend crash. Yeah he's nonverbal. We love him, but he sure does make it difficult sometimes

Mysterious Pirate Rat

A looot of people in here willingly turning down a best friend who can TIME TRAVEL.

sonicgarbage

Pac-Man is in his 40s, has a small child, and eats compulsively. I feel like we'd have a lot in common.

Eryk Nielsen

Spyrooooo! First game I had on PlayStation, played all throughout my childhood, and replayed reignited trilogy multiple times at thos point. That stupid little purple dragon just fills my brain with dopamine.

Mysterious Pirate Rat

Let's gooooo Spyroooooo

Duncan Hamra

Crash seems like a friend but not a GOOD friend. He'd take you to a dive bar and do coke in the bathroom

Jenna Stoddard

Busy because I love kitties so much. I want every cat to be my friend.

Isaac Harris

Can I add that it MUST be the modded Chubby Spyro?

Luke

Until he settled down and had a family my bff was a crude jorts wearing risk taker who rarely spoke aside from yells and suggestive gestures.

Thunder-Ruth

For some odd reason I really thought you were asking about sports mascots, and I was prepared to write "Gritty", haha. Of the choices given... Bubsy. Let's be real.

D. Alfonso

At various stages of life, in order, Scott Pilgrim, Madeline of Celeste, Alan Wake. All that to say... Mario I guess? Eating mushrooms and going on adventures.

Timothy Prewitt

How big is pac man though?

Jonathan Birt

Blinx whilst not being the creates game would easily be the least annoying of the list. And the time travel fun would make a great BFF.

beampatrol

Never played Blinx - The Time Sweeper (or heard of this game for that matter) but after looking up 10/10 would be my BFF

Uncle Dr PhilOsophy

Easiest Gex of my life

CampfireBeast

nostalgia almost made me pick crash… but then I remembered the jorts. I’d hope for a himbo bestie but I know I’d get villain-from-90s-skateboarding-movie.

Shelby Fawn

Gotta be Spyro, first game I ever played when my Dad got it for the ps1, still buy whenever a new one comes out

Leftover Anchovies

Fucking love this patreon already and spyro IS ALREADY MY BESTIE

mads

Banjo from Banjo and and Kazooie, but sadly not a choice. So Mario it is!

sven sven

I'm rocking with Mario. He's totally my boy. We're out jumping over things, saying "wahoo", eating spaghetti. He's on my level.

mmmcranberryjuice

Crash, cuz he hardly talks.

Tyler N Capeta

Gex seems chill, plus I used to have a pet gecko so I'm familiar with their needs. I don't think all the people picking spyro would be able to care for a dragon and provide it enough enrichment. Same with mario. Do you know how expensive good meatballs are, and how much effort it takes to feed an Italian plumber every day? Not to mention the enclosure you keep him in has to be massive and full of pipes and other enrichment like mushrooms. It's just not ethical. Marios need to remain in the wild where they belong. I think the majority of mario owners saw them as a get rich quick scheme because of their amazing ability to find gold coins, but unless you have a lot of gold coins around your property, it's not going to help much. They don't conjure the coins from nowhere after all 🙄 And don't get me started on Luigis. The amount of people who get Luigis just because they think they'd be a cute addition to their haunted house is sickening.

Rook

Honorable mention: 7-Up's, Spot

bjorktribe

Wow, these are all leaders turned sidekick? That's tough. Got to be Gex though. Being a spy, he's okay with not being at the top. Plus, I hear he's got an in with a relative in the insurance biz and I could use a better rate.

bjorktribe

Bubsy feels like the only one of these that would *actually* have a drink with me.

DukeDingle

Aww damn wasnt expecting so much Spyro love, but he would be the most fun imo

Leo Chaisson

I don't even know who 'Bonk' is...

Frankenjam

pac-man because i've always wanted a friend that knows how to obtain party drugs and also various fruits

Sarah

I would legit hang with Parappa

Samwoo E

Legitimately, if write ins were an option, Isabelle. She's been dealing with Tom Nook's bs all these years, my shenanigans would be minor by comparison. And, she knows how to beautify a town in a snap.

Mindy H-J

lol yeah it’s pretty overt.

Todd

High-key lol

Stephen J. Lunatic

I don't really care about any of these. Picking Mario, because he's literally the only one in the poll I regularly engage with, but I don't particularly love him as a mascot character. I'd more happily go for Kirby, or Lara Croft, or any character from a JRPG series ... I don't play Pokemon games at all, but Pikachu is a more compelling mascot character than anyone in the poll ...

Matt, First of Matts

No Ratchet?

Patrick Young

Surprise! That's not actually Bubsy, it is Kirby wearing a Bubsy hat! Do not ask where Bubsy went.

Andrew

Conker and his bad fur day

Benjamin Barrett

Really sonic should win just for practicality. Imagine having a whole drive up restaurant as a BFF.... It would be wild

Walter Blakey

Crash and we'll wear matching Jncos

ROLLINKUNZ!

No love for kirby, I see how it is. 😔

yaboi

next time let's not be cowards and just say boyfriend okay :)

Liza Winter

I tried to play Gex: Enter the Gecko recently and uhhhh… it did not age well. Game is low key pretty racist.

Todd

By BFF do we mean wingman or confidant? This is a very important question

Mike

Spyro's got the best hub worlds and it's not close - y'all hang out with Crash in a weird circlular level-select menu and I'll chase Moneybags around Midnight Mountain

Zach Davis

Trick or Trick Kid from Earthbound

Johnny Van Cura

crash is 100% the best bro here.

Mister Cakes

Everyone forgets about Sly ;(

Simon Payne

Spyro sweep!

KT

Yoshi instead of Mario

Bret Scofield

Blinx would help me hide a body

Austin Bridges

No love for Blasto?

Joseph S Highe

Yeah good choice

Bret Scofield

“What could possibly go wrong?”

Dannycario

If I'm going to be BFFs with a video game guy, they're going to have to at least be shaped like a friend.

Andrew

What about Companion Cube????

Kat

Gex is life.

Austin Boone

New York giraffe as my write-in vote

Ben Shirk

No Jak and Daxter? Ratchet and Clank? Master Chief and/or Cortana? These choices made me feel too young to be here 😂

getSTIGGYwitit

Bonk is the true hipster choice, 😂

Andrew Rogers

I had to get help choosing because all mascots are inherently insane… I chose Crash.

Kevin Proff

Hate to be basic but I had to choose my man Mario. Most of the others are rude dudes with attitudes that my sensitive nature can’t handle. Spyro was a close second, though.

Ccchloister

If I have to pick a pre-SNES era 16 bit mascot I’m going with that Altered Beast dude.

Alan Madison

Earthworm Jim.

Madeleine

How is The Loathesome Dungeater not on this list?

Corpo_Canine

Bonk is the BEST friend

Chloe Michelle

BLINX SUPREMACY 🎉🎉🎉

Casey Francis Alger

My true vote is Rodney Mullen from THPS4

Patrick

Post has been live for a minute and people are already talking about Pac-Man vore. Good community if you ask us.

Chris

Kazooie is my true vote 😌

Jessica

Everyone else is too high strung. Me and Pac-Man are gonna hang and eat pellets.

Truth In Motion Studios

Call me Agent Xtra

Matt Forbes

Pikachu not being on this list is a crime!

Ultimate Danny 5000

Q*bert is my bff<3

setgendertono

So you're voting Bonk is what I'm hearing

Chris

Spyro’s got my heart but I’d love to hear a modern Gex

Daniel Meyer

Can I just vote for Plante?

ames

Pac-Man, who any of the Besties can appreciate as a guy who’s always putting things in his mouth

WarioTush

Shamefully, I don’t know most of these 😂

ames

Love that little purple dragon

Annie the Feywild therapist

Spyro or Sonic. Tough call but Spyro seems to have a little more chill

Glorious Griffin

Third party vote for Sly Cooper

Earthmover

Yo I signed up for a hardcore elite gamer Patreon what is this? Also obviously the answer is one of the Gears bros.

Alan Madison

What? No Jak?

X_Blade_Mage

Mods asleep. Post gex memes!
