30 Days of Video Games Day 2

My favorite character... This one's kinda tough.  There's a lot of characters that I really like, in games that I will probably touch on later in this series of blogs.  Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth, for example, are two awesome characters in their games, and no one has popularized screaming OBJECTION! like Phoenix.

As if you needed a picture.

And Team Fortress 2 has a lot of characters that are fun to watch and play as, especially the Heavy, Demoman, Pyro, and Medic.  But I think if I'm going to choose one character from every video game I've ever played to be my favorite, I have to ask the question: "Who absolutely delights me when he/she shows up in a game?"  And even though I'll have a million different answers tomorrow, I'm going to choose one now: Fawful, from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

A strange choice? Yes. But awesome.  It's the writing that sets Fawful apart from the other villains in, well, pretty much any game I've ever played.  So in the first game of the series, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, the villain, Cackletta, wants to steal Princess Peach's voice.  But during the first "level" of the game, Fawful ambushes you aboard Bowser's airship.  He then busts out with this monologue:  

"I am the great Cackletta's most best pupil, who is named Fawful! I am here, laughing at you! If you are giving us the chase, just to get your silly princess's voice, then you are idiots of foolishness! Princess Peach's sweet voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle shall be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom!"

Fawful is full of "lolwut" sayings like this through out the series.  When Bowser asks him what his beef is, Fawful responds confusedly with, "Beef? I am lacking in beef. Fawful is beefless."  Engrish is at its best with Fawful, and that's why I'm choosing him for my favorite character from all video games forever (probably not, but still.)
