10 Useless Video Game Sidekicks Who Never Had Your Back

10. Slippy Toad - Star Fox 64

As annoying as most of the talkative sidekicks are in Star Fox 64, Slippy Toad is unanimously the worst – and probably one of the worst of all time in video games.

His tendency to get himself into trouble is made apparent at the start of the game – a feat he repeats time and again throughout the missions that follow – and is made all the worse by constantly screaming for you to come and save him.

Almost entirely unable to defend himself, he whines and whines with what is probably one of the most excruciating in-game voices to date.

His one redeeming feature is his engineering abilities and the vehicles he builds to help you navigate, but with that being the case, let's lock him up inside his workshop and never let him near a battle ever again.

As GameDaily once said, “Until Star Fox 64 arrived, we liked amphibians.”
