10 Craziest Hidden Characters In Video Games

2. Meat Man - Skate 3

I told you more meat was coming and here we are. Back to the realm of skate games and we’ve got ourselves a whole character made out of meat. Somehow even meatier than the last entry.

I’m not exactly sure why skateboarding games have cornered the market on ridiculous unlockable characters but if that’s what it took to get this glorious floating raw steak pulling off kickflips then that’s just fine by me. All you have to do is complete all of the Hall of Meat challenges, which involve you doing things like throwing yourself off your board to get as hurt as possible, and you’ll be rewarded with this monstrosity.

Don’t worry yourself too much about the logistics behind how a seemingly inanimate piece of meat moves, or skates, or skates way better than we ever could. Better to live in the fantasy on that one.

My main takeaway from this entry is that I am definitely hungry. But I know I won’t be after the number one spot.
