There are several reasons why I think he's fantastic. I love his sense of humour, he provides a good counterpoint to the more serious Jak, especially in the 2nd and 3rd games. He goes through an actual character development arc and grows as a character, unlike a lot of sidekicks. I loved the parts where you play as him in the 3rd game. He's adorable. And that series was the first game franchise I ever fell in love with, so both Jak and Daxter have a special place in my heart.

I'm so glad that Max made the list! The goofy little lagomorph is written so well in the games, both Hit the Road and the Telltale seasons, and he just meshes so well with the more calm, yet just as goofy as his little buddy, Sam. I love how the two see each other as the side kick but never argue about it. They're happy just to be a team. Also, I'm glad the Completionist team, or at least Jirard, talk about and/or play the Sam & Max series every now and then. The Sam & Max games are such underrated gems that frankly deserve more attention. So seeing them appear on the channel is great! Also also, though Luigi and Tails are obvious picks for great sidekicks, it still made me happy to see them on the list.

He's a bit annoying in the beginning, but I really grew to love Morgana in Persona 5. The little dude is always trying to help and he's always there with you wherever you go. All the other party members have their own stuff to do but Morgana's all like "Yeah dude. I'll see a movie with." "Yo lets go work out!" He actively encourages your growth as a character and keeps you grounded. He's kinda like an accidental therapy animal that the protagonist didn't know he needed.

Would love to have seen Clank in this. I got emotional by the end of A Crack in Time after being separated for so long and all they went through. Clank even became a secret agent while Ratchet was his driver and also turned into a huge robot that destroyed giant monsters. He's straight faced, logical attitude to contrast the cocky but heroic Ratchet developed a strong friendship. His upgrades to help mobility or even getting a bit of Gadgebot control like Captain Olimar gave him his time to shine. Additionally, while Daxter can perhaps get a little overbearing, I would be lying if I said the original game wasn't significantly more entertaining with his sass for all the quirky characters. He doesn't really do much but he's hitching the ride and being a bud when things get tough.

I'm not sure I would ever consider Luigi a sidekick. The old platformers didn't have Mario and Luigi together on-screen and it's hard to call him a sidekick in the sports games since you can play as anyone in those games. Even if you count the Mario & Luigi games, Luigi is in the title and the game treats the characters as equals gameplay-wise. Luigi is only really Mario's sidekick in the old cartoons.

My top 10:10. Stella (Dragon Quest 9): Always ready with a funny line, she is the only member of your party with any actual personality.9. PotatOS (Portal 2): Glados is only really a sidekick in her potato form during the second half of Portal 2, but just from that alone she's good enough for a slot in this list.8. Toad (Super Mario) From the blue and yellow toads of New Super Mario Bros. to the Toad Brigade in Galaxy/Galaxy 2, they show up time and time again to help Mario reach his goals.7. Tails (Sonic): He's a genius and a genuinely nice person.6. Recruitable Monsters (Various) While Pokemon may be the first name on most people's minds, there are many games where monsters can be recruited from the wild. A good example of this is Dragon Quest Monsters, as well as certain main series Dragon Quest Games.5. Yoshi (Super Mario/Yoshi): Not much to say here, you already know why Yoshi's awesome.4. Maya Fey (Ace Attorney): Always at Pheonix's side when he needs her, she keeps him from falling into despair on multiple occasions.3. Luke Triton (Professor Layton): The Professor's apprentice maintains an upbeat personality throughout the series, and his ability to talk to animals has helped find several clues across all of the games.2. Midna (Twilight Princess): Write a list of everything bad about the companions in The Legend of Zelda games, then tear it up and throw it away. Midna is funny, extremely powerful, and forms a bond with Link that is genuinely touching to see.1. Luigi. Because what other sidekick even comes close?
