10 Worst Video Game Heroes Of All Time

8. Bubsy The Bobcat (Bubsy Bobcat)

Worst Offence: Like swearing, he’s not big and he’s not clever.

Bubsy is what you get if you performed a charisma bypass on Sonic the Hedgehog, and fused him with all the hatred developer Accolade clearly hold for humanity. Either that, or they mistook irritating for charming.

This bobcat is one lousy mascot, from shockingly rough controls to going down later a single hit to mocking the players with his over-the-top lisp. It was as if this guy actively despised you for even touching his game (and, frankly, we can’t say we blame him). The worst part is, he returned for three more, wholly unnecessary sequels, each titled with their own achingly unfunny puns.

Also, maybe it’s just us, but his exclamation mark T-shirt is such a nakedly cynical attempt at creating an iconic gaming symbol that it makes us want to maim things – bobcats in particular; Bubsy specifically.
