Are Video Game Characters Getting Fat?
Neo Gio | 8:02 PM on 11.22.2009 8 comments




We look at the before and after, and find out that

our favorite characters are getting fat by the game!

Everybody loves Mario, but does Mario love himself? Is he watching his cholesterol? Why do you think we don’t see Yoshi has much? It’s because he doesn’t want to carry Mario’s fat ass anymore. Hey hey hey it’s fat Mario! Now give me that mushroom!

This is one of many examples of our favorite characters getting fat by the game. Here are some other characters who have ended in a similar fate.

Ryu:
In the 10 years that took Capcom to finally release a sequel to Third Strike, what do you think Ryu was doing in that period? Certainly not training, look at the before and after, and honestly tell me if he did not put a good 50 pounds on him. Out of all classic characters that came from the original Street Fighter 2, and Alpha series, Ryu definitely took the cake (literally) on the weight-gaining contest. In addition, do not let him fool you when he says that he prefers walking barefoot, he just cannot afford shoes anymore. And do not even get me started on Rufus.

Donkey Kong
Ever since Microsoft acquired Rare, we have not seen Donkey Kong has much; his not even a playable character in Mario Party anymore. So in order to recover from his state of depression, DK has been stuffing himself with his banana hoard back in DKC, now we know how we get so many banana peels in Mario Kart. Hell even on the picture DK looks like ”Hehe I really left myself go I’m so embarrassed” We can only hope that Nintendo does the right thing and put him down…on a good game.

Any other characters you think should be added on the list? Let me know, post a comment saying what you think.

No, but video game players sure are.

Unless you're Brad Nicholson, of course.

I think videogames could use some fatter characters that are badasses and not just lame NPCs. Then again, videogame chicks should also wear more clothes and I've never complained about that...
