Best: Partners in Time. Kamek. In an apron. I'd vote Paper Mario 2 for Kammy, but looking at just the Paper Mario games, she never left (until Super Paper Mario).

Worst: I guess Mario Party 3 is where the Daisy nightmare began. But exactly when did Birdo rise from the grave? I hate it more than any other Mario character.

Best: Captain Syrup. I'm related to Captain Morgan (I kid you not) and she's a pirate. I gotta side with my sister in arms, you know?

Worst: King Boo Super Mario Sunshine. He looked nothing like Mansion's King Boo and wasn't nearly as malevolent or interesting.

I can't believe people hate Daisy more than Birdo.

Daisy is fine (her signature catchphrase gets annoying from time to time, though). However, I dislike Birdo with great intensity. Tranny pink dinosaur who shoots eggs and has the hots for Yoshi? DO NOT WANT.

I could not agree more with you, PaperLuigi. Mario spin-offs were much better before the partner formula had to exist. Technically it has since the first Mario Kart, but only as far as the manual an the game's mechanics say. Mario and Luigi, "The Brothers," had the same kart stats. Toadstool and Yoshi, "The Dragon and the Lady" shared kart stats. Toad and Koopa Troopa were "The Small Guys" and Bowser and Donkey Kong, Jr. were "The Showdown." I don't know why I remember all this stuff.

It's OK. I remember it too. And I don't hate Daisy or Birdo. I actually rather like them. Sue me.

BEST: Fawful's return in PiT, as it was unclear if he'd ever appear again until then.
WORST: Daisy in MP4.
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

Fawful's return in PiT, as it was unclear if he'd ever appear again until then.

That should actually technically count for any character in any game: you never know if they are going to scrap a character and do something completely different or what.


BEST: Toad in Mario Tennis 64. He was in Mario Tennis on the Virtual Boy (which only had 7 players, if I recall) and then didn't come back in the GC game. WHY?!

WORST: Petey or Birdo.. I can't decide! I hate them both with the fire of a thousand suns! .. if I have to pick one, Birdo. At least Petey isn't a cross-dresser or sounds like he has a trumpet stuck to his face..

Nominee: Sports game (side note: didn't we already vote on a 3D game? Why is it the nominee list?)
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??
