This is a thread on guessing video game characters.
- They can come from any video game.
- If a media source is played in one round, it is allowed to be played in the next round.
- A player may declare a stump after 24 hours has passed from the last question and its answer. If this happens, the current descriptor reveals their character and posts their image, and the next round goes to the stumped player.
- If a question needs to be replaced because it has already been answered, please do not erase the question. Just add the new question below it. In fact, the act of completely erasing a question is frowned upon.
- If you're adding a clue, please keep it related on video games, as detailed below.
- Recaps must be posted on every page in a timely manner.
- The info in those recaps must not be ignored. This rule and the one above it are added to prevent confusion.
- If there is no new round within 48 hours, anyone except the previous host may start a new round.
- What counts as playable characters?:
- Any video game or app. If they’re from adaptations that aren’t video games or apps, we don’t count them. This goes for Ash Ketchum and Christopher Thorndyke as they weren’t in their respective original bases. Canon foreigners that appear in video games count. Canon immigrants also count as long as their debut is a video game. For example, The Prawn from SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom counts because he debuted in that said game even if appearing in "Captain Pipsqueak".
If there's any questions or further suggestions, let me know!

Not from a platformer, nope.
Round 290
Starting hint: The real reason the polar caps are melting.
- I am...
Edited by NesClassic on Jun 18th 2025 at 9:57:52 AM
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaNot from a roguelike, and not a source of or connected to any environmental pollution!
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaNot mechanical, not Nintendo, not a boss fight, and not from a Wii game!
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaYes to 2000-2009, and yes to polar bear! (Which subsequently means not a penguin.)
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaRound 290: Herbert P. Bear, Esquire (Club Penguin)
An exemplary example of the Heat-Seeking Polar Animal trope; Herbert's always hated the cold, and one day set out for warmer climates by riding south on an ice floe. Things were warmer than back up north for a while... until he passed the equator, kept drifting, and wound up on the even chillier island of Club Penguin. Whoops.
From that point on, the grouchy bear made it his life's goal to warm up Club Penguin by any means necessary, taking drastic measures to try and melt all that nasty ice and snow away. Sure, his methods are usually as goofy as his motive, but he's gotten close more than a few times. Whether he realizes it or not, if Herbert ever got his wish, it'd be bad for the entire world... and it'd destroy Club Penguin as well, obviously.
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaYay!

From a Platformer?
Hot take: I actually like Yoshi's New Island and it's soundtrack.
