67. White Bomberman Although he is also referred to as "White Bomb", "White Bomber", "Shirobon", or most recently "Cheerful White", the hero of the series is usually simply called "Bomberman". In the standard games, he is the star and is always controlled by the player in the single player modes. He is portrayed as the heroic yet cheerful (and sometimes goofy) type, often saving his home planet from disaster. In the earlier titles he battles his rival was a black version of himself called "Kurobon", with whom he would later become friends and allies. In later games, such as Bomberman Max and Bomberman Tournament, he is shown to be part of an interplanetary police force stationed at Bomber Base. The White Bomberman also made appearances in other games, such as Wario Blast, a Bomberman game featuring Nintendo mascot Mario's rival, Wario. He also appears in DreamMix TV World Fighters, a Hudson fighting game with characters from Hudson Soft, Konami and Takara.

66. Cham Cham Cham Cham is a character who was introduced in Samurai Shodown II. Despite being a popular character she was almost never featured again until her appearances in PSX port of Samurai Shodown IV and recently in Samurai Shodown VI, in both games as a playable character. Cham Cham is the younger sister of Tam Tam. She lost the Tangil stone (a relic of her village) when she "borrowed" it to play with. To find the stone, she sets out with her pet monkey Paku Paku (who is actually Tam Tam transformed as punishment for his failure to protect the stone). While a catgirl in appearance, Cham Cham's mannerism is more feline; she walks on all fours when disarmed (she holds her weapon in one hand when she has it), for example. Her taunts are also feral--in one, she meows and stretches like a cat, while in the other, she sits on her haunches and scratches behind her ear with her foot.

65. Wario Although he was originally an occasional villain in the Mario series, Wario has since been the protagonist of two different series and rarely in any primary Mario games. He has however made an appearance in the majority of the Mario sports games and Mario Party. He also was a playable character in Super Mario 64 DS. He also appears as one of the main characters in the WarioWare series. Wario made his first appearance in the Game Boy game Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins as the villain and final boss. In a commercial for the game, Wario attempts to hypnotize the viewers into serving him.[2] In the game, he took control of Mario's personal island and lived in his castle while Mario was rescuing Princess Daisy from an alien entity named Tatanga (as depicted in Super Mario Land for the Game Boy[citation needed]). The only way Mario could gain access to Wario's castle is to collect six golden coins in the possession of Wario's minions (one of whom being Tatanga). He later returned to the Mushroom Kingdom and incapacitated Mario, Princess Peach, or Yoshi (depending on which character you chose) by dropping a bucket or another similar item on their heads from his airplane in Mario and Wario (only available in Japan for the Super NES). The player controlled a fairy named Wanda with the Super NES mouse, who assists one of the three characters navigate the level to Luigi, who is able to remove the object from the character's head. Later in Wario's Woods, Wario makes an attack on the Mushroom Kingdom, forcing Toad, Wanda, and Birdo to brave his forest in order to stop him. In the original Super NES version of Wario's Woods, Toad must battle many bosses before he can face Wario, while the NES version features Wario as the only villain. While Wario now has slanted eyes and thick eyebrows, he is depicted in this game with round cartoonish eyes and thin eyebrows. Wario also stars in Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman! for the Game Boy, released around the same time as Wario's Woods. In Japan, it was originally a Bomberman game, but was changed to feature Wario in the English version.[3]) While playing as Wario, all of the opponents that he fights will be Bombermen, and vice versa with Bomberman.[4] Wario was set to be featured as the villain in the Virtual Boy video game titled Virtual Boy Mario Land, which had Mario trapped in Wario's world, but this was canceled after the system's failure.[5] Wario co-stars with Mario in Dr. Mario 64 as a lesser antagonist. In this game, Wario unsuccessfully attempts to steal a bottle of Megavitamins from Mario so that he can become a doctor himself. After Mad Scienstein, a minion of Rudy the Clown steals the Megavitamins, Mario and Wario both give chase to retrieve them. Players can choose to play as either Mario or Wario. If Mario defeats Rudy without being defeated during his play-through, he will face Vampire Wario, and if Wario does the same, he will face Metal Mario. His most recent appearance as an antagonist was in the GameCube game, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix along with Waluigi. Along with this, Wario has appeared along with Waluigi in humorous introduction videos for the Mario sports games, as well as making some fun appearances in them. The first time Wario exhibited anger while playing a sport was during the intro of Mario Tennis 64, where he and Waluigi appeared basically egging Mario and Luigi on. His first appearance in the comedic intro videos was in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, in which he and Waluigi teamed up to defeat everyone at golf, but instead hit Bowser and ended up exploding inadvertently by Mario at the end. The next appearance would be as true bad guys in the introduction video to Mario Power Tennis where Waluigi and Wario would lose a tournament match against the Mario Bros. in the Peach Tournament, and would be furious. Bowser would aid them in becoming better at tennis, however they wouldn't use it as they barraged the stadium with bombs. In the end Bowser is shot down into the ground with his bomb ship and Wario along with Waluigi and Bowser would fall over in exhaustion.They also use his weight to his advantage in some clips of the mario party series. After several appearances as an antagonist, Wario went on to star in his own series of platforming games, which are usually handheld. The first in the series, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, marked Wario's first appearance as a protagonist and introduced his first villains as antagonists, Captain Syrup and her Brown Sugar Pirates. Wario discovers that the Brown Sugar Pirates have stolen a statue of Princess Peach from Mario and that he is looking for it. Wario then decides to take advantage of this and steal it from Captain Syrup before Mario can retrieve it. In his next adventure titled Wario Land for the Virtual Boy, Wario must fight his way out of a giant cave which houses several different worlds, gathering money along the way. The game features Virtual Boy-style pseudo-3D gameplay, allowing Wario to travel into the background at various points in the levels. Wario Land II for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color continues the rivalry between Wario and Captain Syrup, who has a new team named the Black Sugar Gang. Captain Syrup and her gang loot Wario's castle, and Wario chases them to their lair on Kitchen Island to retrieve his treasure. After defeating Captain Syrup and the Giant Spear King, Wario recovers his treasure and returns home. Unlike the first two games, Wario's abilities are now gained through status effects. For example, he can be set on fire by the fire from a candle, allowing him to be set on fire and run uncontrollably in one direction until he bursts in flames, allowing him to burn through certain objects. Instead of having a life-meter like in his first two games, Wario loses coins when he takes damage, even in the event he ran out of coins, he would not die, he was invincible. Wario Land II also featured secret exits in its levels, which allowed for the player to experience alternate boss battles and endings. There are five end boss battles and one more battle before the player can experience the actual ending. These boss battles were very interesting for the player, since one attack would automatically end the boss for the player, and they'd have to retry by reaching the room once more. In Wario Land 3 for the Game Boy Color, Wario is trapped in a Music Box World, and before he can leave he must help a mysterious figure regain control of his world by defeating a horde of monsters. Only until the figure promised him all of the treasure that he finds along the way did he agree to help. This game introduces a new villain, Rudy the Clown, who would later appear in Dr. Mario 64. Unlike past games, Wario is not set on a linear path, and can collect any treasures available to him. He also lacks all of his innate powers (with the exception of jumping and walking), and must find them as he makes progress in the game. Just like Wario Land II, Wario is invincible, and the bosses do work around the common fact that being harmed once ends the battle. After reading about a treasure-packed golden pyramid deep in the jungle in Wario Land 4 for the Game Boy Advance, Wario travels there in his Wariomobile. He must retrieve four pieces of jewelry (each guarded by a boss) in order to get to the final treasure and defeat the Golden Diva, the master of the pyramid, and also the one who transformed a princess named Shokora into a cat, who appears throughout the game. Unlike the last two Wario Land games, Wario is no longer invincible, and this is also the first in the Wario Land series to feature a health meter. Wario World for the Nintendo GameCube is the most recent Wario platformer, and is a departure from typical Wario platforming games in how it plays. It was co-developed by Treasure and Nintendo, and is a 3-D beat-'em-up/platforming video game. Unlike the Wario sidescrollers, Wario World focuses on more heavily on action, although there are still many platform jumping and puzzle-solving sequences. Wario gets his hands on a mystical Black Jewel, which eventually destroys his castle and turns all of his treasure into monsters. Throughout the game, Wario will encounter Sprites trapped in small boxes. Once Wario defeats the Black Jewel, the Spritelings will reward him with a new domain. Depending on how many Spritelings, treasures, and cash, he will get one of two domains—if he does not collect enough wealth and Spritelings, he will be given a shack, but if he does, he will be given a castle. The game got a good deal of negative press, most attributed to the ease and length of the game.[6] As in Wario Land 4, Wario has a health meter. Wario also appears as playable character in the remake Super Mario 64 DS for the Nintendo DS, but he must be unlocked using Luigi to defeat a boss named Chief Chilly. He has abilities that Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi do not, such as being incredibly strong, being able to break large, black bricks, and also being able to turn into Metal Wario with a Power Flower (unlike the original Super Mario 64, wherein Mario could become Metal Mario). Wario can also use the Wing Feather in Versus mode, as well as his Piledriver and Wild Swing-Ding abilities from Wario World. Wario: Master of Disguise is the next game in the Wario Land series for the Nintendo DS. Released on March 5, 2007, the game allows Wario to transform into various different forms of himself, each allowing Wario certain abilities. Wario appears in Yoshi's Island DS as baby Wario. In the game, he teams up with Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Bowser, Baby Peach and Baby Donkey Kong. He has a very powerful magnet that is able to attract coins and metal boxes. He allows Yoshi to make normal eggs. He is only available in a few levels and at the end of world 3, leaves Yoshi in favor of the Bandits and their treasure. The WarioWare series follows Wario starting a video game development company, and hiring his friends to help. Wario starts this company in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$ (which would later be remade as WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$ for the GameCube) for the Game Boy Advance after seeing a report on a new "killer app" video game titled Pyoro on television. He then hires his friends to help him make his games. In most WarioWare titles, after they make the profit from the video games, Wario attempts to take all of the proceeds, but is foiled in the end. Each microgame is a product being sold by WarioWare, Inc., and last between three and seven seconds. The series has spawned several sequels available across all of Nintendo's current consoles and handhelds. In Wario's next game WarioWare: Twisted! for the Game Boy Advance, Wario's Game Boy Advance was accidentally put into Dr. Crygor's machine, causing it to lose its face buttons but gain a tilt function in the process, which inspired him to create games based on the tilt function. In WarioWare: Touched! for the Nintendo DS, he is walking down the street after having stolen a Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP, but trips and drops them into a sewer hole. However, an old man floats up, and asks him if he dropped the GBA systems, or if he dropped the 'fancier one.' Wario says that he wants them all, and then lunges at the old man, knocking both of them into the sewer. Wario comes out with the fancier system, and has no idea how to play it until he finds the stylus. After winning a game, he decides that this idea would make a ton of money, and goes to get his friends to help out.Near the end,Wario walks down the street and trips near the same sewer hole.The old man comes out and smacks him over the head as revenge. Wario also appears in WarioWare: Smooth Moves for Wii. Wario stumbles upon an old temple,and when he comes to the Form Baton(similar to the Wii Remote),he notes its insperation for a new series.He then escapes Indiana Jones style(a gigantic boulder chases him when he picks up the Form Baton).The Form Baton is returned,however. Wario debuted in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins after the release of Super Mario Kart, he did not appear in a Mario Kart game until Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64. He has since appeared in all Mario Kart games released after Mario Kart 64, including Mario Kart Super Circuit for the Game Boy Advance, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! for the GameCube and Mario Kart DS for the Nintendo DS. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, he is associated with Waluigi, and his unique kart is the Wario Car. Wario is among the lightest of the heavyweights in the Mario Kart series; he features great ramming power, but bad acceleration and off-road handling.[citation needed] Wario also appears in Mario Golf for the Game Boy Color and Nintendo 64. Unlike the other Mario sports titles, Wario's character plays without any unusual quirks. Wario has appeared in every Mario Golf game, including Mario Golf: Advance Tour for the Game Boy Advance and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the GameCube. Wario has appeared in almost every Mario sports game since the first two Mario Tennis games for the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. In the Game Boy Color version, Wario is a secret unlockable character, while he is available from the start in the Nintendo 64. He was featured in Mario Power Tennis for the GameCube, sporting a machine that shocks himself to hit harder and a machine that extends his racket. Mario Tennis: Power Tour for the Game Boy Advance was the first Mario sports title since Mario's Tennis for the Virtual Boy to not feature Wario. In these games, Wario is a very powerful character with moderate speed, and is second only to Donkey Kong and Bowser in power. Mario Superstar Baseball features Wario as a team captain. He is also a team captain in the GameCube title Super Mario Strikers, a soccer game. Like in most other Mario sports games, he is a powerful character in Superstar Baseball and Strikers. The Mario Party titles feature several characters from the Mario series as playable, including Wario. Wario is one of the original six playable characters and has been a playable character in every Mario Party game, with the exception of Mario Party Advance, which only features Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi as playable. Unlike the Mario sports titles, there is no difference between any of the characters outside of voice and appearance. And while Wario's first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series was as a trophy (as well as an alternate outfit color for Mario in both Smash Bros. games to date), he is set to appear in the upcoming Wii title, Super Smash Bros. Brawl in 2007.[7] Wario appears in the first trailer in his WarioWare-style biker outfit as opposed to his plumber outfit and is shown using the "Wario Waft", a move which involves explosive flatulence. He is also shown, in the second trailer, to move in a frame-by-frame style of movement very much like Mr. Game and Watch from Super Smash Bros. Melee. In Legend of Stafy 3, Stafy encounters Wario in World 8. Throughout this world, Wario assists Stafy with completing the levels, giving the player four different treasures - a Wario cap, a Wario nose/mustache combo, a copy of WarioWare, Inc. with a Game Boy Advance, and a pile of gold. In each level, Wario is affected by one of his three more common status effects - Puffy Wario, Fire Wario and Bubble Wario, all of which Wario uses to help Stafy complete the level. Wario also makes several minor appearances in various other games. He appears in various minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros., both for the Nintendo DS. He is, however, a playable character in Yoshi's Island DS for the Nintendo DS as a baby, which marks the first time that Wario has been seen as a baby, along with fellow villain-turned-hero Donkey Kong. Baby Wario's special ability is to use a magnet to attract them to metal objects. The Game & Watch Gallery series replaces Mr. Game & Watch with various Mario characters in the modern version of Game & Watch games, including Wario. Wario appears in such modern versions as Helmut, Ball (Game & Watch Gallery 2), Mario Bros. (Game & Watch Gallery 3 and 4), Rain Shower, and Fire Attack (Game & Watch Gallery 4). Wario makes a number of cameos as well. One of the tracks in Uniracers is called Wario Paint, a reference to Mario Paint for the Super NES. In Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga for the Game Boy Advance, there is a WarioWare, Inc. poster on the wall of Yoshi Theater. Interestingly, Wario was also supposed to make a cameo appearance in the Starbeans Cafe at one point in development, alongside several other Nintendo characters. In his scenario, Wario is offered some coffee, but does not like the taste.[8] He also makes a cameo in Pilotwings 64 in the Little States stage after the player shoots Mario's face on Mt. Rushmore, turning it into Wario's. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the GameCube has a badge called the W Emblem badge, which changes the colors of Mario's clothes from red and blue to yellow and purple, the same as Wario's.

64. Blue Mary Born in the city of Southtown, Blue Mary grew up with only her father in her life. With his time consistently taken by his occupation, however, Mary turned to learning the arts of Commando Sambo strongly influenced by her father who was a police officer of the city. Seeing the society that her father worked in made her also realize the reality of crime and injustice in the world. Her training complete, Mary used her skills to become a secret agent, and was immediately placed to work on a number of missions with a young man named Butch. The two became a competent team, completing many cases, and bringing many criminals to the eyes of the agency. However, one day Butch was assigned to a case, and after a long time duration, he never returned. Mary was devastated, not only by the loss of a person important in her life, but how she failed to uphold her duty. Determined to avenge him, Mary continued taking missions, becoming more and more famous. She began to travel the world, and in one case, met none other than the legendary "Hungry Wolf" Terry Bogard, to whom she took a liking, developing a strong bond. In this series, her work was far from over. One day, a mysterious benefactor (Geese Howard) requested her services to enter the King of Fighters tournament, along with Billy Kane and Ryuji Yamazaki. During the outcome of the tournament, it was discovered that Yamazaki had become more and more insane due to the Orochi blood coursing through his veins and that Billy was sent by Geese to keep an eye on him in order to learn the secret of the Orochi power. However, during a moment of confusion, Yamazaki escaped and Mary was left to ponder on Geese's motives and the root of the situation. Following its conclusion, Terry Bogard informs her of the NESTS cartel and their actions occurring in Southtown. With a new goal in mind to stop the organization, Mary joins the Women's Team along with King, Kasumi Todoh, and Li Xiangfei, and the "Lonely Wolves" in 2000 and 2001 to assist in stopping NESTS in the following tournaments, eventually leading to its demise. In 2003, Mary did not have the opportunity to join the Fatal Fury Team due to the fact that Terry enlisted the help of Joe Higashi and Tizoc. As a result, she decided to join up with former teammate King, as well as another Fatal Fury Team alumna Mai Shiranui. While she was excited to enter the King of Fighters tournament as part of a new version of the Women Fighters team, Mary was quite upset with Terry for replacing her with new talent. When Mary tried to bring the situation up with her boyfriend, her complaint was fallen on deaf ears as Terry ignored her (as evidenced by their special intro in KOF 2003), and in fact didn't seem to really understand why she was so upset (as evidenced in his winning quote against Mary). In KOF XI, Mary teamed up with fellow agents Vanessa and Ramon to form the Agents' Team.

63. Alex Kidd Alex Kidd is a video game character. He is a monkey-like boy with big ears in a red jumpsuit and was Sega's mascot until Sonic the Hedgehog debuted in 1991. His games spanned various platforms, and appeared in the arcade and on the Sega Master System and the Sega Genesis home consoles. The game for which he is best known, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, was released in 1986. It was rereleased in 1990 and was built into the Master System II model itself. Miracle World replaced the Snail Maze/Safari Hunt/Hang On (depending on the version) game(s) of the first model. This version reversed the attack and jump buttons from the earlier version to conform to that of other popular action games of the day. Unlike the Sonic the Hedgehog series, where changes in game mechanics between games are minimal, most games in the Alex Kidd series differ dramatically from one another. The sole exception is Miracle World and its direct sequel, Enchanted Castle. While most games in the series were still platform-based, the only elements that tied the series together was the name and the title character. The fact that fans of the first game felt completely lost with the rest of the series may have been a contributing factor to the failure of this series.

62. Yangus Yangus is a former bandit who journeys with the Hero and King Trode. He is from the seedy town of Pickham (a possible pun on Peckham, an area of London), but grew tired of living as a thief and decided to leave and start clean. Yangus has a rough East London accent and appearance. Out of respect and admiration, as well as gratitude for saving his life, Yangus refers to the Hero as "Guv."

61. Elena Elena is a princess in an African tribe that has a cultural tradition of fighting, making her a warrior princess. She may have been born in Kenya, but her fighting style is Capoeira which utilizes her strong, long legs with dance-like moves and fancy legwork. Her father, the tribe's chief, is a witch doctor. However, he also has a PhD in medicine obtained from a French university. Elena's views of fighting and martial arts differ from most due to her light hearted personality allowing her to befriend some people and annoy others. She wants to travel around the world, meeting new friends along the way. She studied as an exchange student in Japan, where she met her best friend Narumi. She later continued those studies in France.

60. Crono Crono(is the main character of Chrono Trigger. He lives with his mother (whose name is given as Gina in the Japanese version) in the town of Truce, under the rule of the Guardia Kingdom. His meeting Marle at the fair begins the quest to save the world. In 12000 B.C. when the party is confronted with Lavos in the Ocean Palace of the Kingdom of Zeal, he sacrifices himself to save his friends, though he can be revived. While the other six playable characters have many lines of dialogue, Crono is a silent protagonist. His reactions to events are implied through reaction and gesture, often for comedic effect. He uses a katana as a weapon and once he obtains magical ability, his Techs become lightning-oriented. In the original Japanese version of the game, Crono's element was Ten (“V, Ten?), which means "heaven". The PlayStation version of Chrono Trigger includes an FMV scene at the end that shows Crono and Marle getting married. While a second FMV depicts the fall of Guardia Kingdom in the year 1005 A.D., it is unknown what happened to Crono during this event. In the sequel, Chrono Cross, Crono makes an appearance alongside Marle and Lucca as apparitions of themselves as children.

59. Diddy Kong In the first game, to humor him, Donkey Kong put him in charge of guarding his banana hoard at night. However, neither of them expected a siege by King K. Rool's Kremling Krew, and as such, Donkey Kong's entire banana hoard was stolen and Diddy was forcibly stuffed into a nearby barrel. Upon being freed, Diddy explained the situation to Donkey Kong; he became extremely upset, but didn't blame him. He and Diddy went on an adventure across DK Island to get the banana hoard back. Diddy's second appearance was on the Game Boy title Donkey Kong Land. In this game, Cranky Kong made a challenge that DK and Diddy couldn't retrieve the banana hoard on an 8-bit system, so they once again set out to retrieve it. It wasn't until 1995's Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest where Diddy Kong stepped into the starring role. With Donkey Kong kidnapped by K. Rool and taken to the Kremling home of Crocodile Isle, Diddy set out with his new girlfriend Dixie Kong to get his big buddy back. For this game Diddy's look was slightly updated. He gained the now permanent star pattern for his shirt, updated fur, nostrils and even a belly button. At the conclusion of the game, Diddy finally became a full-fledged video game hero. A follow-up was released in September of 1996 for the Game Boy called Donkey Kong Land 2. It featured roughly the same plot as DKC2. When Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! came out two months later, Diddy wasn't playable for the first time. Instead, the storyline revolved around him and Donkey Kong disappearing while on vacation in the Northern Kremisphere. Meanwhile, an army of Kremlings have appeared in the area under the command of a fake new leader, the cyborg KAOS. Dixie and her cousin Kiddy Kong went on a mission to find them. As it turned out, K. Rool was manipulating things behind the scenes, with KAOS feeding off the brain power of Diddy and DK (who were inside of the mechanical monster). In 1997's Donkey Kong Land III, Diddy never even put in an appearance, although he was part of the storyline. He and DK took off in a previously unseen part of the Northern Kremisphere in a contest to find the fabled Lost World. Dixie, furious that she wasn't asked along, decided to join forces with Kiddy and find it herself. Of course, K. Rool and the Kremlings also got involved, and while KAOS appeared again, he wasn't being powered by Diddy or DK. Two months later, Diddy made his Nintendo 64 debut, and got his first starring role without any other Kong characters appearing. Diddy Kong Racing took the kart racing genre in a new direction with go-karts, planes, and hovercraft as available vehicles. Instead of a straight-forward racing game like the Mario Kart series, Diddy Kong Racing was a "racing adventure," a mixture between Mario Kart and Super Mario 64. Diddy Kong Racing was the first self-published title by Rare, and marked the first appearance of such characters as Banjo and Tiptup (who would go on to star in the Banjo-Kazooie series), Conker (who would go from kid-friendly titles to the mature-rated hijinx of Conker's Bad Fur Day and the Xbox's Conker: Live & Reloaded). Diddy's childhood friend Timber sends him a letter to help liberate the island, and he answers the call in secret while Timber's parents are visiting his own family. Diddy Kong Racing broke records when first released for having the highest number of pre-orders of any video game to date. The game even featured a unique promotion where gamers received a free Diddy Kong beanbag toy with buying the game. Later the toy was offered in stores. Two years later he would appear in Donkey Kong 64; initially he was imprisoned by K. Rool, but once rescued became a playable character. Joining forces with Donkey Kong, Dixie's little sister Tiny Kong, Kiddy Kong's older brother Chunky Kong, and distant cousin Lanky Kong, they set off to stop K. Rool from blowing up DK Island with his new mechanical Crocodile Isle and the Blast O'Matic laser. Unlike the DKC games, this was a sprawling 3-D adventure in the vein of Super Mario 64, and it was the first N64 game to require the N64 Expansion Pak to play. In this game, Diddy's color was red, and his signature move was using a jetpack in order to fly while using Crystal Coconuts. A port of Donkey Kong Country came out a year later for the Game Boy Color. It had new features such as Game Boy Printer connectivity, extra mini-games, and an entirely new stage in Chimp Caverns called Necky's Nutmare. After DKC GBC, Diddy Kong fell off the gaming radar, not appearing for nearly three years. Diddy returned in 2003 with a Game Boy Advance port of Donkey Kong Country, which was a retelling of his original adventure with Donkey Kong. It featured new map screens and new modes of play like DK Attack and Hero Mode, where you have to beat the game with Diddy and only Diddy (sporting yellow clothes). Diddy's debut in a Mario and GameCube game was in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. This was also the first time he appeared in a non-Rareware game (the company was sold to Microsoft in 2002). His appearance in this and most subsequent non-Rare appearances depicted him with five fingers and toes instead of four. He turned up in another kart racing game, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where he rode along with Donkey Kong and tossed giant banana peels for his special item. In 2004, the first non-Rare Donkey Kong game with DKC-styled characters was released. Namco's Donkey Konga was a GameCube music title that was packaged with a DK Bongo controller. The controller is used to keep the rhythm with the beats of covers to famous songs (as well as Nintendo video game music). Diddy appeared along with Donkey Kong and other DKC franchise characters. He would also turn up that year in Mario Power Tennis, where he had a special jetpack he could use to fly around the court, and in a Game Boy Advance port of Donkey Kong Country 2 that was packed with new mini-games and more. 2005, saw him in the sequel to Donkey Konga, Donkey Konga 2, where he once again stood as the character controlled by a second bongo player. He was then a team sub-captain in Mario Superstar Baseball (his biggest role yet in a Mario game). He was mainly known as a speed player with excellent defensive skills. He has a slight uppercut in his swing. He also had a prominent role in DK-King of Swing, and would make a cameo in the GBA port of Donkey Kong Country 3. In 2006, Diddy was featured as a playable character in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 for the Nintendo DS. In 2007, a remake of Diddy Kong Racing was released for the Nintendo DS, largely based on the N64 title bearing the same name. This time both Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong were playable alongside Diddy. Diddy is slated to be a playable character in the upcoming titles Donkey Jet for the Wii, Mario Strikers Charged also for the Wii, and in DK-King of Swing DS.

58. Sly Cooper Sly is a raccoon who is descended from a long line of master thieves. As an eight-year-old child, his parents were killed by a ruthless gang called the Fiendish Five, who stole the Thievius Raccoonus, a book containing the Cooper family's thieving techniques and moves. Sly was sent to an orphanage, where he met Bentley, a brainy, and somewhat nerdy turtle, and Murray, a comically self-confident and muscular hippopotamus. Bently was the plan maker and Murray was the doer. Sly's quest to recover his family's book forms the basis for the first game. Sly and his friends make their base of operations in Paris, but their nationality is never explicitly described in the games. However, it is strongly hinted that they originally hail from America, as Sly states that "...it had been a long time since I had been back in the States" when visiting Mesa City, Utah in the first game (Sly Cooper and the Thievius Racoonus). The world in which Sly Cooper and his friends live appears to be inhabited only by anthropomorphic animals.Mesa City was mentioned in Sly 3 Sly's archenemy is Clockwerk, a mysterious robotic owl. Clockwerk is revealed to have been hunting Sly's family line for thousands of years. This hunt provoked his decision to replace his body with machinery. It is also revealed that Clockwerk spared Sly's life in the attack on his family to prove that the Cooper Clan would be unable to be great thieves without the Thievius Raccoonus. In the first game, Clockwerk serves as the final boss, as well as the one "pulling the strings". The robotic owl soon ends up being defeated by Sly and is in pieces. The second game, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, focuses on a new set of villains, the Klaww Gang, who have stolen the pieces of Clockwerk's body, and Sly's attempts to recover them. It appears the real final boss was Constable Neyla, who seems to be Sly's ally until about halfway through the game. Neyla betrays the Cooper Gang in The Predator Awakes episode.Neyla, in service of the Klaww Gang and in kahooks (as Bentley says) with the brains of the gang, Arpeggieo, betrays Arpeggieo and bonds with the assembled parts of Clockwerk. Her last "Neyla" words were "Behold! Clock-La is born!" She kills her former mentor by squishing him and flys on a rampage with a hypno-light. Sly and the gang destroys Clock-la by taking out the hate chip, which had kept the original Clockwerk going for so long. Easily, Carmilita (also betrayed by Neyla) steps on the chip and arrests Sly (who steps up because of Bentley's fate). But, as expected, Sly escapes from her, and leaves his imfamous calling card behind. The third game, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, takes place about a year after Sly 2. Instead of Clockwerk, Sly's main enemy is now Dr. M, a mysterious ape scientist who attempts to claim the Cooper family vault for himself. Sly also gains four more allies in this game, some of which are from the first game.. In all three games, Cooper and his friends are pursued by Inspector Carmelita Fox, a detective from Interpol. Although the two are rivals, they team up on occasion to defeat common foes. Carmelita is also portrayed as a possible love interest for Sly. Sly's side of his conversations with Carmelita is flirtatious, but his comments are often sarcastic. However, in the end of Sly 3, Sly fakes amnesia to save his friends, which the player finds out in the end credits.

56. Albert Wesker Albert Wesker first appeared as one of the three major supporting characters in the original Resident Evil and the only one to appear in both of the main characters' (Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine) scenarios. He is presented as the cool and collected leader of Alpha Team who remains calm in the face of danger. However, he disappears early in the game and only makes sporadic appearances through the course of the story. Later in the game, Wesker's true identity and agenda are uncovered: he is a former Umbrella researcher and an Umbrella operative within the Raccoon Police Department. Wesker is following Umbrella's orders to use the S.T.A.R.S. as test subjects against the various mutant creatures and bio-organic weapons (BOWs) infesting the mansion. However, near the game's end, Wesker implies that he has his own plans and is in fact double-crossing Umbrella. He also forces Alpha team member Barry Burton to assist him by threatening to harm Barry's wife and daughters. At the end of the game, Wesker is apparently killed by one of the creatures in the mansion's underground lab. Wesker's death varies between ending: in Chris' ending (as well as in versions of Jill's ending where Barry dies), Wesker unleashes the Tyrant from its containment capsule, only to be impaled by the creature's claws. In the better versions of Jill's ending, Wesker runs off into the lab's control room and activates the self-destruct mechanism only to be killed. When the player enters the control room, they will find Wesker's corpse next to the control panel with a Chimera in the area (this scenario only takes place in the original game). Wesker's role in Rebirth remains essentially identical to the original game, although one of the endings was revised so that Wesker apparently escapes from the mansion alive, though he is shot in the shoulder by Barry, and shortly thereafter mauled by the Tyrant. Despite his "death", Wesker returns in Resident Evil Code: Veronica. No longer working for Umbrella, Wesker is now an operative of a mysterious organization seeking to steal Umbrella's research. Wesker is shown to have gained superhuman strength and agility, but at the expense of his humanity. Wesker's sunglasses are knocked off during a fist-fight with Chris Redfield, revealing his mutated cat-like eyes. CODE: Veronica Complete, an extended version of the game, splices ten minutes of additional cut scenes into the main story (including an extended ending), all involving Wesker himself and adding further plot depth. In the extended ending, he tells Chris and Claire Redfield that he retrieved Steve Burnside's body after his death because his remains still contained the T-Veronica virus. Wesker taunts Claire, saying that Steve may yet be revived. Also, during his final fight with Chris, Wesker's face is badly burned by an explosion which separates the two, forcing them to withdraw from their battle and escape the facility. However, in Wesker's next appearance six years later in Resident Evil 4, his face shows no sign of scars, perhaps indicating that he has an accelerated healing ability in addition to his other abilities. Wesker's Report I, a fictional documentary narrated by Wesker, was a promotional DVD included with the CODE: Veronica Complete rerelease. The report is a retelling of the first three Resident Evil games from Wesker's point-of-view. Wesker's Report also retcons Wesker's death to explain his presence in CODE: Veronica. Wesker reveals that he was betraying both the S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella during the first game, as he had secretly switched his allegiance to one of Umbrella's rival companies. Wesker's new employers asked him to supply them with the Tyrant's "combat data". Before his final confrontation with the surviving S.T.A.R.S. members in the Arklay Research Facility's lab, Wesker injected himself with a new type of serum provided by his former lab partner William Birkin. Wesker in fact intended for the Tyrant to maul him so he could fake his own death. However, he'd also assumed that by the time the serum ressurected him, the Tyrant would have killed the remaining S.T.A.R.S., thereby allowing Wesker to collect the Tyrant's combat data. The S.T.A.R.S. unwittingly foiled Wesker's plan by killing the Tyrant. Without the combat data, Wesker lost face with his new employers, thus solidifying his hatred of the surviving S.T.A.R.S. (Chris in particular). The report also reveals that Wesker's new employers are the same as Ada's, that he actually helped her from behind-the-scenes during the events of Resident Evil 2 and that he rescued Ada from Racoon City before its final destruction. Another fictional documentary, Wesker's Report II, was published online through Capcom's official websites. This documentary features excerpts of Wesker's journals sent to Ada, detailing his career as a researcher in the Arklay Research Facility. The journal also describes the origins of every viral agent introduced in the series up to that point and details the horrible experiments that Lisa Trevor (a mutated woman featured in Resident Evil Rebirth) was subjected to. The journals also expand on Wesker's relationship with Birkin, revealing that they were best friends as well as rivals. Resident Evil Zero depicts Wesker's actions the day before the events of the "Mansion Incident", serving as a behind-the-scenes co-conspirator with William Birkin. Zero also expands on Wesker's past as an Umbrella trainee and his role in the assassination of Umbrella co-founder Dr. James Marcus. Wesker had a relatively minor role in Resident Evil 4. While nowhere to be seen in the main game, he appears in "Assignment: Ada" minigame, as well as in the "Separate Ways" scenario in the PS2 and Wii versions, giving orders to Ada via a communicator. Both scenarios depicts Wesker's attempt to revive the Umbrella Corporation under his leadership by using the Plaga parasites for this purpose. The "Ada's Report" documentary, also included in the PS2 and Wii versions, describes Wesker's character and intentions from Ada's perspective. Although Wesker has never been a playable character in the main storyline, he is playable in some of the non-plot minigames in the series, such as the "Battle Game" in CODE: Veronica and "The Mercenaries" in Resident Evil 4. He was also playable in the multiplayer modes featured in Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (the Nintendo DS port of the first game).
