Here we go... list *with* reasons. Oh, and I'm going to do this by character, not by design... list might look a bit strange 'cause of that.

1) Mallow, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Why? He's a big puff of cloud. If you haven't played this game, I'm not going to spare you from some spoilers, because honestly... what rock have you been under for the last ten years? You just feel kinda bad for the guy. When you first meet him, some damn bully took his money... then he finds out he's not a tadpole, and *then* he's put on an insane quest with some crazy italian plumber. Somehow he makes it through it all though, and by the end of the game, eventhough I'm usualy using Peach as my healer, he's one bad ass mofo.

2) Todd, Pokemon Snap

Why? This kid doesn't care about forcing the Pokemon to battle to the knock out (read: death), he's just happy to take their damn picture. And anyone that's willing smash a Kangashkan over the head with an apple is just cool. Gassing Meowth's, forcing Magnemite's to evolve... all part of a days work for him. And hey, the game was a needed breah of fresh air.

3) Link, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Why? This is the *only* Link in the series to have a personality. Really, he is. The other Links were just shells for the player... but Eiji Aonuma must have decided he needed a bit more. And hell, the little tyke's fun to mess with. Ever make him just fall into lava to watch his animation?

4) Princess Peach, Paper Mario

Why? Again... she had personality. Aside from Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA version), this was the first time players got to control her in a platformer setup. One of my favorite parts of the game was sneaking around the castle as Peach, pissing off the guards.

5) Ed, Blathers, Tom Nook, Animal Crossing.

Why? Ed's a crossdressing horse, and in my GCN game he's got a full modern set on display in his house. Lucky bastard. What's not to love? Blather's is just funny as hell. Cracks me up every time I give him a gross bug. And Tom Nook is a shifty buisness man... but he'll take anything for bells.
