History Keet / VideoGames

* Kuro in ''VideoGame/AyakashiRomanceReborn''.
* The titular character from ''VideoGame/BillyHatcherAndTheGiantEgg'' has some qualities of this, fitting his role as savior of Morning Land.

* ''[[VideoGame/ExtrapowerAttackOfDarkforce EXTRAPOWER Attack of Darkforce]]'' has Melfa, the yellow Hikari Warrior. Small and adorable and he knows it, so he can get away with being a bit of a brat with the green Hikari Warrior Rakione.

* Lots in the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series:

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'': Zell, whose character introduction is literally him back-flipping into the room. He apparently used to zoom down the hallways on a hovering skateboard and has been known to throw really aggressive tantrums when the cafeteria is out of hot dogs. Adding to the effect, he also talks like he's PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy.
*** Laguna is another example, as in the past he was incredibly energetic and always eager to do things and help others. Deconstructed somewhat in that others consider his acts of passion foolish at best. [[spoiler:Ironically enough, Squall ends up [[WackyParentSeriousChild being a brooding and stoic introvert]] who even considers his own father a moron on the first flashback.]]

** In ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', Tidus (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'') feels like this. But it's a different play on this trope -- he is not overly upbeat, but when you put him with the rest of the game's cast, he is a damn good machine of mood-lightening...unless you bring up his Father, in which case he becomes a Ball of Angry Angst. Zidane (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'') counts as well, though he can occasionally [[LetsGetDangerous get serious]], and Bartz (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'') rounds out the trifecta of cheerful FF heroes in the 13th Cycle. And let's not forget Vaan (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''), who [[WhatCouldHaveBeen would have been a fourth]].
*** In the sequel (which does include Vaan), he ends up being pretty laid back about things, along with Laguna (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''). When he's in battle, however, he's extremely loud, self-confident, and boisterous.
* Kieran and Tormod of the ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' Tellius games qualify.
** In fact, Kieran is so crazy, he'd qualify for [[GenkiGirl Genki]] '''GUY'''.
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]'''s Henry is a rather twisted example, as while he is unendingly upbeat and never seen without a smile on his face, he also happens to be a [[CastingAShadow dark mage]] who has [[NightmareFetishist a thing for blood]] [[BloodKnight and murder]].
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'''s [[TheHero Endou Mamoru]] is probably the happiest of the major heroes in the Raimon Academy and Inazuma Japan National. His happy personality and HeroicSpirit are what drive the team to victory. Moreover, he almost never angsts after the first game. His successor Matsukaze Tenma in ''Go!'' is no slouch either.

* Soviet Conscripts in ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3''. They are quite enthusiastic and happy regardless of the fact that they are cannon-fodder par excellence; they'll shout "Field promotion, here I come!" as you order them to attack overwhelming enemy forces, and their first reaction to being ordered to garrison a building is to ask whether it's got TV.

* In most of his incarnations, Link is a rather serious young person. By contrast, ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker's'' Link is cheerful, upbeat, and downright silly at times. He can still go toe to toe with the baddest of the bad, but he was also once turned into a human pancake.
* Then there's ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames''[='=] Link, who's much more energetic and goofy than his canon counterparts. [[SuddenlySpeaking His ability to speak]] only emphasizes this, with quotes such as "Gee, it sure is ''BORING'' around here!" and "Great! [[ItMakesSenseInContext I can't wait to bomb some dodongos]]!"
* Conrad Verner from ''Franchise/MassEffect'', a hyperactive, hyperenthusiastic {{Fanboy}} who keeps trying to impress Shepard. If you're not careful in dealing with him, [[spoiler:his enthusiasm can get him killed.]]

* Claus from ''VideoGame/Mother3''. [[spoiler: For the single chapter he's alive, that is.]]

-->''Let's do some criiiimes!''

* More so than his anime counterpart, Barry/Pearl/Damion from ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum]]'' He's always dashing everywhere he goes, frequently crashing into people, and seems to have NoIndoorVoice. It turns out [[spoiler:his father's the same way.]]

* Picwick from ''VideoGame/RibbitKing'' is about as {{Keet}} as a [[AnimateInanimateObject picnic basket]] can get.

* Griff Simmons from the ''VideoGame/{{SSX}}'' Series fits well into this.

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Mario definitely fits as one of these, with his cheerful [=YAHOOs=] and [=WAHAHAHAs=].
* Don and Katsu from ''VideoGame/TaikoNoTatsujin''. Very much so.

* Cadet Ellis (no relation to [[VideoGame/Left4Dead the Ellis above]]) from ''VideoGame/{{Vindictus}}''. [[spoiler:Makes it all the more of a PlayerPunch when he eagerly runs off to prove himself and gets brutally killed by a giant goblin.]]
* ''VideoGame/WildArms1'' gives us Zed; a [[LargeHam Large Ham]] and [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] who acts like he's the coolest guy around. His entrance in Volcannon Trap has him burst through a wall and zoom into the room like a superhero.

* [[MotorMouth Fast talkin']], [[BatterUp skull bashin']], [[CaffeineBulletTime cola swillin']] Scout, from ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''. Short, shrill, and hyper to the point of infuriating? You betta believe it pal!
