Right then, I’m going to attempt to relieve the boredom while we all wait for E3. Here 7 of the most annoying videogame characters ever, in my extremely honest opinion.
1. Lemmings. The aim of the game was to save the little green haired guys from a variety of hideous deaths, but their nauseatingly cute catchphrases – “oh no!” and their irritating ignorance of the danger of walking under a guillotine or into a blazing fire made the ‘Nuke all lemmings’ button an attractive option.
2. Toad. The mushroom guy from the various Marios. He was alright in Mario 64, helping with an extra star here and there, but then he cropped up in Mario Kart 64 with a helium-enhanced voice and an attitude perfectly summed up by his trademark “I’m the best” as he swept past to victory. Worse still was his cocky little cackle as he smack you with a red shell.
3. Natalya/Elvis. Unbelievably annoying side kicks (so called because you want to kick them). They’ll mess about, seemingly oblivious to screaming RCP-90/120 gun battles taking place in their immediate vicinity, and can only be alerted to danger by an ‘accidental’ bullet in the face from Bond or Joanna, thus causing an automatic mission failure.
4. Yoshi. Before he became a leading character in his own right, he was just Marios replacement for Epona. And he was pants. It’d be fine until some green turtle got in your way, at which point the grinning dinosaur would throw you off and leg it, hell bent on throwing himself down the nearest hole.
5. Sonic (not Rav). The blue hedgehog (who nearly has as much attitude as Monkey with Attitude) got a whole load of admirers upon his debut. But to many, he oozes a level of arrogance which makes Chris Evans look a nice bloke. His specialty was tapping his foot and scowling when left to rest.
6. Thorin, from the Hobbit. Back when the ZX spectrum was around (way before my time), the Hobbit contained a character who considered sitting on the ground and singing about gold as somehow helpful to your quest. The usual recourse for this was the command ‘TAKE THORIN AND INSERT GOLD’.
7. Mario. Well, if Sonics in there, the camp plumber must be as well. He’s unable to keep quiet, with a ridiculous whoop or gasp accompanying every leap. Imagine if one of your friends did that, you’d have to call him Grix Thraves or something like that.
Feel free to add more.

All the Army Men
brace yourselves: Kazooie
- I will now hide on mars until the bounty on my lifeless body has expired.
- But you just said you were going to mars
- Aha! That's what I wanted you to think. My real destination is France!
- You fiend! No amount of money can entice people to kill you now!
