for every Crash Bandicoot, there must be a Crash-and-Burn-dicoot; a video game mascot who, for whatever reason, failed to capture the imagination of Joe and Jane Public. Whether they were on the wrong system, came along at the wrong time, or were just plain bad, here are 10 Failed Video Game Mascots!

You left out a big one. A huge failure. Skunny. A failed PC gaming mascot that crudely aped the 2D platforming of its betters. Skunny even had a kart racer of questionable legality, since the developer left the company and left the unfinished sourcecode behind, but it was never made clear who owned what, so they went on to make Wacky Wheels, the GOOD PC cart racer, and the Skunny Kart devs cobbled something together on the buggy early-alpha of the Wacky Wheels engine.

In a way; Rayman both is and isn't a failed mascot. Because he keeps getting games; and is one of the best mascots; I wish he could've been in Smash Bros. though... And I remember playing "Rayman 2: The Great Escape"; on the N64. It was the very first Rayman game I ever played; and I thought Rayman 2 was the first Rayman game because I didn't know about him being a former PS1 exclusive mascot. But I do love the Rayman series. And I'm probably the only person who enjoyed Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc. But I haven't played the recent Rayman Switch games because I don't have anyone to play them with...and I've heard how hard the games are; and didn't think much of it when I was a kid playing Rayman 2 with my Dad on the N64. No really. I thought the game was difficult by design. But seeing my Dad play through it while suffering due to the game's difficulty was funny. What I'm saying is: we need more Rayman. Sorry if this went on too long. I tend to do that a lot.

But we couldn't afford PS1 games back then; we could only rent them; on the N64. But I still loved it; but always wanted a PS1 though. But yeah; I agree; if Ray were Jaguar exclusive; he would've flopped; and probably been on this list. But luckily; that didn't happen; and Rayman did great. Until Rayman 3. Then he took a long deserved break; but came back eventually. He does seem to take breaks a lot. But he did get a Switch game and his "spirit" is in Smash Ultimate; technically. Manifesting himself through Sonic. But no Murphy or Globox though...

Earthworm Jim should be mentioned, because he has fallen into the same pit as the others, unfortunately. Earthworm Jim was great on SNES and Genesis for 2 games, even following with a cartoon series with none other than Homer Simpson's Dan Castellaneta as Jim. He even reprised his role for the 2 ClayFighters games on N64, with Jim appearing as a cameo fighter. However, everything fell apart with Earthworm Jim 3D, a poor 3d platformer with collect-o-thon elements. While a remaster for the 1st game was done, a 4th game was teased for the Intellivision Amico. If the console's failed launch wasn't enough, Interplay had to step in and confirmed how they DIDN'T allow Intellivision to use their franchise, Whoops 😅

Is this list in random order? Because there is no consistency with this ranking. I mean, how is Bubsy more of a failed mascot than Awesome Possum? He has like 6 games and a failed cartoon pilot, whereas Awesome Possum only has one game before becoming forgotten and mocked by people to this day for being too preachy and anything but awesome. Also, how do you not know how to pronounce Dr. Machino? The game's title literally tells you as soon as you boot up the game. Do you actually play any of the games you cover?

bubsy I can foresee that he will return and he is one of my favorite characters ever, I like awesome possum too, only that awesome unlike bubsy is educational because he teaches you not to pollute and he is good, even if I would only complain about his freak out everything else Perfect

Half the ones on this list arent "Mascots" in the same vain as Mario and Sonic, more one time characters created just for a game not the company itself.

Awesome Possum was a really bad Sonic clone I had no problem that it was preachy but I did have a problem with its terrible controls

Jersey Devil was let down by awkward controls and confusing level design. A real shame, as it looked great. The animated intro was really well done too.

Unironically one of my fav PS1 platformers, it just had so much great competition that was more polished at the time it didn't get enough attention.

5:57 Knowing this failed mascot, or at least the design was from BHVR, can't wait to see the Jersey Devil in DBD EDIT: Jersey Devil even gets hooked at 6:37, maybe this scientist is the Entity
