I was totally prepared to be in the minority but apparently people here understand the friend potential of Spyro. God bless
warriorsoprano
Pikachu 100%
Ian Hickey
Bubsy is awesomesauce, I played the crap out of that game as a kid before I knew it was bad
Nicole Levay
No Kirby or Pikachu? Absolute travesty of a poll
jtingl
I think as a wingman I would want Sonic, but as a confident that I told my darkest and deepest secrets too, maybe Mario.
AaronElWhite
My real answer (that isn't on the poll) is Clank.
Nick Hammond
In terms of a friend? You'd rather be friends with Gex than Spyro? I don't know that I could handle being in a room with Gex for 5 minutes.
Ben The DorkKnight
Life gives you the chance to be friends with a fuckin dragon, you take that chance, dammit. (sorry for being aggro)
Majima Cookie
Spyro???? Really???? Wild. In comparison to all of these Spyro is one of the least recognizable mascots in videogame history. Also one of the ones with the least amount of personality. F*cking GEX is a better mascot, at least I get what his deal is.
Burn Things
Surprised to see Spyro so high. 👀
Sean Petersen
God bless the 1% of people that chose Bonk
IHaveARussFrushtickBodyPillow
Spyro's just a good dude overall. The others definitely have some skeletons in their closet
Perry Alter
We all want Sonic to be our BFF, but we all settle for Gex.
Kyle Conner
As much as I would like to say I choose this character because they could hold the world on their shoulders for me, that would be a lie. I KNOW Crash Bandicoot would just smoke weed and eat Jack in the Box tacos with me. True BFF
Mike Kenney
No Banjo and Kazooie? They’re my best friends.
David Nelson
Other: Mega Man
Lucas Shears
For the record, Gex rhymes with sex.
James Prothero
What on earth? I’m always surprised by the Spyro love. Very cool to see though.
Ari
Blinx has a vacuum, so I know their place would be clean when I come over.
Josh C
Spyro's the only series I actually got to be part of development in, so it's no contest.
Isaac Smith
gex because my man would do a themed halloween costume with you every single year. best part is, it doesn't matter what kind of theme you want to do- whatever you choose, he's already got a costume to match.
Alex Kelly
Pet dragon lfg
bradybear
Spyro sweep
Patrick Hightower
Of the options, Spyro seems like the one who is most likely to actually help a friend out. Mario is willing to help out Peach when kidnapped, sure; but man, is he a jerk when he is competing with his friends in kart racing or other sports.
Kate
Astrobot may be a newcomer but he’s my choice by far. He’s adorable and sings his own theme song, what could be better?
Phiki
I want to say Crash, but I also think he would push me into traffic....soooo best friends?
Mysterious Pirate Rat
The patreon just feels so right. I know they had their reasons, but I'm surprised they didn't make this leap sooner
Mysterious Pirate Rat
Oh that's just my friend crash. Yeah he's nonverbal. We love him, but he sure does make it difficult sometimes
sonicgarbage
A looot of people in here willingly turning down a best friend who can TIME TRAVEL.
Eryk Nielsen
Pac-Man is in his 40s, has a small child, and eats compulsively. I feel like we'd have a lot in common.
Mysterious Pirate Rat
Spyrooooo! First game I had on PlayStation, played all throughout my childhood, and replayed reignited trilogy multiple times at thos point. That stupid little purple dragon just fills my brain with dopamine.
Duncan Hamra
Let's gooooo Spyroooooo
Jenna Stoddard
Crash seems like a friend but not a GOOD friend. He'd take you to a dive bar and do coke in the bathroom
Isaac Harris
Busy because I love kitties so much. I want every cat to be my friend.
Luke
Can I add that it MUST be the modded Chubby Spyro?
Thunder-Ruth
Until he settled down and had a family my bff was a crude jorts wearing risk taker who rarely spoke aside from yells and suggestive gestures.
D. Alfonso
For some odd reason I really thought you were asking about sports mascots, and I was prepared to write "Gritty", haha. Of the choices given... Bubsy. Let's be real.
Timothy Prewitt
At various stages of life, in order, Scott Pilgrim, Madeline of Celeste, Alan Wake. All that to say... Mario I guess? Eating mushrooms and going on adventures.
Jonathan Birt
How big is pac man though?
beampatrol
Blinx whilst not being the creates game would easily be the least annoying of the list. And the time travel fun would make a great BFF.
Uncle Dr PhilOsophy
Never played Blinx - The Time Sweeper (or heard of this game for that matter) but after looking up 10/10 would be my BFF
CampfireBeast
Easiest Gex of my life
Shelby Fawn
nostalgia almost made me pick crash… but then I remembered the jorts. I’d hope for a himbo bestie but I know I’d get villain-from-90s-skateboarding-movie.
Leftover Anchovies
Gotta be Spyro, first game I ever played when my Dad got it for the ps1, still buy whenever a new one comes out
mads
Fucking love this patreon already and spyro IS ALREADY MY BESTIE
sven sven
Banjo from Banjo and and Kazooie, but sadly not a choice. So Mario it is!
mmmcranberryjuice
I'm rocking with Mario. He's totally my boy. We're out jumping over things, saying "wahoo", eating spaghetti. He's on my level.
Tyler N Capeta
Crash, cuz he hardly talks.

Gex seems chill, plus I used to have a pet gecko so I'm familiar with their needs. I don't think all the people picking spyro would be able to care for a dragon and provide it enough enrichment. Same with mario. Do you know how expensive good meatballs are, and how much effort it takes to feed an Italian plumber every day? Not to mention the enclosure you keep him in has to be massive and full of pipes and other enrichment like mushrooms. It's just not ethical. Marios need to remain in the wild where they belong. I think the majority of mario owners saw them as a get rich quick scheme because of their amazing ability to find gold coins, but unless you have a lot of gold coins around your property, it's not going to help much. They don't conjure the coins from nowhere after all 🙄 And don't get me started on Luigis. The amount of people who get Luigis just because they think they'd be a cute addition to their haunted house is sickening.
bjorktribe
Honorable mention: 7-Up's, Spot
bjorktribe
Wow, these are all leaders turned sidekick? That's tough. Got to be Gex though. Being a spy, he's okay with not being at the top. Plus, I hear he's got an in with a relative in the insurance biz and I could use a better rate.
DukeDingle
Bubsy feels like the only one of these that would *actually* have a drink with me.
Leo Chaisson
Aww damn wasnt expecting so much Spyro love, but he would be the most fun imo
Frankenjam
I don't even know who 'Bonk' is...
Sarah
pac-man because i've always wanted a friend that knows how to obtain party drugs and also various fruits
Samwoo E
I would legit hang with Parappa
Mindy H-J
Legitimately, if write ins were an option, Isabelle. She's been dealing with Tom Nook's bs all these years, my shenanigans would be minor by comparison. And, she knows how to beautify a town in a snap.
Todd
lol yeah it’s pretty overt.
Stephen J. Lunatic
High-key lol
Matt, First of Matts
I don't really care about any of these. Picking Mario, because he's literally the only one in the poll I regularly engage with, but I don't particularly love him as a mascot character. I'd more happily go for Kirby, or Lara Croft, or any character from a JRPG series ... I don't play Pokemon games at all, but Pikachu is a more compelling mascot character than anyone in the poll ...
Patrick Young
No Ratchet?
Andrew
Surprise! That's not actually Bubsy, it is Kirby wearing a Bubsy hat! Do not ask where Bubsy went.
Benjamin Barrett
Conker and his bad fur day
Walter Blakey
Really sonic should win just for practicality. Imagine having a whole drive up restaurant as a BFF.... It would be wild
ROLLINKUNZ!
Crash and we'll wear matching Jncos
yaboi
No love for kirby, I see how it is. 😔
Liza Winter
next time let's not be cowards and just say boyfriend okay :)
Todd
I tried to play Gex: Enter the Gecko recently and uhhhh… it did not age well. Game is low key pretty racist.
Mike
By BFF do we mean wingman or confidant? This is a very important question
Zach Davis
Spyro's got the best hub worlds and it's not close - y'all hang out with Crash in a weird circlular level-select menu and I'll chase Moneybags around Midnight Mountain
Johnny Van Cura
Trick or Trick Kid from Earthbound
Mister Cakes
crash is 100% the best bro here.
Simon Payne
Everyone forgets about Sly ;(
KT
Spyro sweep!
Bret Scofield
Yoshi instead of Mario
Austin Bridges
Blinx would help me hide a body
Joseph S Highe
No love for Blasto?
Bret Scofield
Yeah good choice
Dannycario
“What could possibly go wrong?”
Andrew
If I'm going to be BFFs with a video game guy, they're going to have to at least be shaped like a friend.
Kat
What about Companion Cube????
Austin Boone
Gex is life.
Ben Shirk
New York giraffe as my write-in vote
getSTIGGYwitit
No Jak and Daxter? Ratchet and Clank? Master Chief and/or Cortana? These choices made me feel too young to be here 😂
Andrew Rogers
Bonk is the true hipster choice, 😂
Kevin Proff
I had to get help choosing because all mascots are inherently insane… I chose Crash.
Ccchloister
Hate to be basic but I had to choose my man Mario. Most of the others are rude dudes with attitudes that my sensitive nature can’t handle. Spyro was a close second, though.
Alan Madison
If I have to pick a pre-SNES era 16 bit mascot I’m going with that Altered Beast dude.
Madeleine
Earthworm Jim.
Corpo_Canine
How is The Loathesome Dungeater not on this list?
Chloe Michelle
Bonk is the BEST friend
Casey Francis Alger
BLINX SUPREMACY 🎉🎉🎉
Patrick
My true vote is Rodney Mullen from THPS4
Chris
Post has been live for a minute and people are already talking about Pac-Man vore. Good community if you ask us.
Jessica
Kazooie is my true vote 😌
Truth In Motion Studios
Everyone else is too high strung. Me and Pac-Man are gonna hang and eat pellets.
Matt Forbes
Call me Agent Xtra
Ultimate Danny 5000
Pikachu not being on this list is a crime!
setgendertono
Q*bert is my bff<3
Chris
So you're voting Bonk is what I'm hearing
Daniel Meyer
Spyro’s got my heart but I’d love to hear a modern Gex
ames
Can I just vote for Plante?
WarioTush
Pac-Man, who any of the Besties can appreciate as a guy who’s always putting things in his mouth
ames
Shamefully, I don’t know most of these 😂
Annie the Feywild therapist
Love that little purple dragon
Glorious Griffin
Spyro or Sonic. Tough call but Spyro seems to have a little more chill
Earthmover
Third party vote for Sly Cooper
Alan Madison
Yo I signed up for a hardcore elite gamer Patreon what is this? Also obviously the answer is one of the Gears bros.
X_Blade_Mage
What? No Jak?
Seemah C
Mods asleep. Post gex memes!
