5	[[folder:The Blasterpals]]
6
7	The original trio of characters from the early games.
8	!Tropes pertaining to the group as a whole:
9	* RetroRocket: Their original ship. It got destroyed and replaced in the second game featuring all three of them. Then their new ship gets replaced in that game's remake.
10
11	!Blasternaut
12	-->Debuted in: ''Math Blaster Plus!'' (1987)
13	-->Voiced by: Mark Sawyer (''In Search of Spot'', ''Secret of the Lost City'')
14	The original PlayerCharacter from the 1980's. He is the strongest of the group.
15	----
16	* AnimeHair: His most recent incarnation has this.
17	* JetPack: Uses one in some form in all of the games. ''Secret of the Lost City'' is the only one where it doesn't factor into gameplay, instead being used to reach the buildings.
18	* MightyGlacier: He's stronger than GC or Spot, but heavier and not as fast. Puzzles in both ''Secret of the Lost City'' and ''Ages 9-12'' have him as unable to jump gaps or pull chains hanging from the ceiling to open doors (even ones that look incredibly easy to reach!), but he can universally operate lifts in the latter and activate pressure plates in the former.
19	* OrderReborn: In his most recent incarnation.
20	* PlayerCharacter: The original PlayerCharacter for the entire series, in fact.
21	* PunnyName
22
23	!Galactic Commander
24	-->Debuted in: ''Math Blaster Episode 1: In Search of Spot'' (1993)
25	-->Voiced by: Laura Boedeker (''In Search of Spot'', ''Secret of the Lost City'')
26	She originally served as MissionControl for Blasternaut in ''In Search of Spot'', a role she would reprise in the cutscenes of ''Mega Math Blaster''. She takes a much more active role in most of the other games that feature the Blasterpals. Recognizable outside of her earliest appearances for her purple hair.
27	----
28	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Looks exactly like a human girl save for her color-scheme.
29	* MissionControl: Had this role in ''In Search of Spot'' and in ''Mega Math Blaster'' until you reached the generator.
30	* NotSoAboveItAll: The intro to ''Ages 9-12'' shows her dancing with her teammates while the ship is clearly in danger of crashing.
31	* PlayerCharacter: One of two you can choose from in ''Ages 9-12''.
32	* TrickedOutShoes: She has rocket boots in ''Ages 9-12''.
33
34	!Spot[=/=]MEL
35	-->Debuted in: ''New Math Blaster Plus!'' (1990)
36	-->Voiced by: Mark Sawyer (''In Search of Spot'', ''Secret of the Lost City'')
37	Spot was the team's RobotBuddy from the early 1990's until the turn of the millennium, when he was replaced with a robotic dog named MEL.
38	----
39	* DeadpanSnarker: Both of them to some degree.
40	* DistressedDude: ''In Search of Spot'' and ''Mega Math Blaster'' revolve around rescuing Spot from the Trash Alien and Gelator respectively.
41	* {{Flight}}: Spot has internal jets that he uses to both fly and hover in place.
42	* MissionControl: He acts as this in ''Invasion of the Word Snatchers'', providing instructions for each puzzle.
43	* RobotBuddy: Both of them.
44	** RobotDog: MEL.

49
50	!Trash Alien
51	-->Voiced by: Mark Sawyer
52	The villain of ''In Search of Spot''. He kidnaps [[RobotBuddy Spot]] to kick of the game's conflict. Otherwise, he just spends his time littering.
53	----
54	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Littering is a rather minor offense, especially in comparison to kidnapping.
55	* {{Cephalothorax}}
56	* EvilLaugh: His only dialog is a very hammy and high-pitched laugh.
57	* ExtraEyes: He has three eyes.
58	* FlyingSaucer: His ship is a red one.
59	* ForTheEvulz: He's never given a motivation.
60	* JetPack: The cave level shows that he has one.
61	* SelfDestructMechanism: He activates one on his ship after the last part of the game.
62	* TractorBeam: His ship has one. He used it to capture Spot.
63
64	!Dr. Minus
65	-->Voiced by: Mark Sawyer
66	The robotic-looking villain of ''Secret of the Lost City''. He shoots the Blasterpals' ship down over a planet, stranding them.
67	----
68	* DidntSeeThatComing: He was not expecting the planet he stranded the Blasterpals on to be the one that contained the Lost City. Nor did he expect the city to be the parts of a space ship. Then again, it's not something even most smarter villains would expect.
69	* EvilLaugh
70	* EvilSoundsDeep
71	* LargeHam
72	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: He has "Doctor" as a title.
73	* RedEyesTakeWarning: His WantedPoster shows him with these while the game shows him with a green light in the middle of his face.
74
75	!Gelator
76	The [[BlobMonster slimy]] villain of ''Mega Math Blaster''. He kidnaps Spot to drain his intelligence.
77	----
78	* BlobMonster
79	* {{Expy}}: Of the Trash Alien. He has three eyes and kidnaps Spot.
80	* ExtraEyes: He has three eyes.
81	* FullNameBasis: The parent ending has Blasternaut and G.C. call Gelator's mother "Mrs. Tor" suggesting that "-tor" is his surname.
82	* LiquidAssets: He drains Spot's intelligence.
83	* ParentExMachina: His parents show up in the "good" ending. Considering that the normal ending has him incarcerated and the "perfect" ending has him turned to stone, this is probably the happiest ending.
84	* TakenForGranite: He gets turned to stone in the "perfect" ending...
85	** LiterallyShatteredLives: ... after which he crumbles to pieces.
86
87	!Illitera
88	The villain of the early ''Reading Blaster'' games.
89	----
90	* {{Jerkass}}: She's your opponent in the game show in ''Reading Blaster 6-9'' and isn't a particularly good sport.
91	* IntangibleTheft: The ExcusePlot of ''Invasion of the Word Snatchers'' involves her stealing all of Earth's words, the letters of which leak from her ship during the game's first puzzle.
92
93	!The Terrible Monkey King
94	The king of the flying monkeys that inhabit the setting of ''Math Blaster Ages 9-12''. The Blasterpals seek him out to get a new ship after the crash theirs and he tries to make them trade Spot for it.
95	----
96	* EvilLaugh: When he tries to make them trade Spot for the ship.
97	* EvilSoundsDeep
98	* {{Expy}}: [[spoiler:Of the Wizard of Oz.]]
99	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Really bright ones. [[spoiler:The Blasterpals notice that they dim when he speaks.]]
100	* HumongousMecha: He's pretty big and pretty mechanical.
101	* LargeHam: He's probably the loudest of the villains and he has some of the hammiest lines in the series. [[spoiler:It's all an act.]]
102	* TheManBehindTheCurtain: [[spoiler:It turns out that what the Blasterpals were interacting with as just a robot controlled by the real Monkey King who is a pretty unimposing guy.]]
103	* WalkingSpoiler
