Famiboards, I'm sure we've all heard the online discourse about Sonic's various Shitty Friends over the years. You know the common talking points, which of them are actually good, at what point did there become too many of them, are they just an easy scapegoat to blame the series' up-and-down quality on, which one of them you want your OC to make out with, etc. One counterpoint I've started to hear bought up in discussion lately has been 'Well Mario ha a bunch of Shitty Friends too, why don't people complain about them'?
This then had me thinking about how there are quite a few platforming stars that now have amassed quite a large group of supporting characters over the years that are loved by their respective fanbases. So I thought we should put it to a vote to see which crew the community prefers.
Your contenders:
Option 1: Mario
Option 2: Sonic
Option 3: Donkey Kong (Why is there such a lack of good Kong Family Images? Half of them are missing!)
Option 4: Kirby
(If anyone knows who this artist is, please let me know so I can credit them. I just found this on Know your Meme).
Option 5: Mega Man
(There are too many god damn Mega Men. Just pick the one with your favourite supporting cast)
Option 6: Wario
Option 7: Crash
So what do you say Famiboards, which group of Shitty Friends is the best? Are there any that you have a particular disdain or appreciation for? Let's find out.
Apologies if I have missed a platforming series and supporting cast that anyone is fond of, these are generally the ones I'm most familiar with. Also when I refer to all these characters as Shitty Friends, please know that I do so affectionately. I think all of these characters have merit except for Dingodile, fuck that guy and the Crash crew by association.
