Bubsy

Bubsy T. Bobcat is the main protagonist of the platformer game franchise of the same name, Bubsy. Created by Michael Berlyn, Bubsy served as the mascot for Accolade during the 90s. He is infamous for talking way too much and starring in one of the worst video games of all time, Bubsy 3D. He also returned in Bubsy: Paws on Fire, along with some of the other characters from the failed Pilot.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) Bubsy was only conceived to cash in on the 90's mascot craze, jump-started by the success of Sonic the Hedgehog.
 * 2) Bubsy has an incredibly grating voice, not only does he have a lisp, but he never shuts up.
 * 3) He is the playable character of many terrible platform games, including the infamous Bubsy 3D, only known for being the one of the worst games in existence.
 * 4) In the pilot of his failed television show, he is unlikable as ever. Bubsy is annoying, intolerable, and constantly abuses his sidekick, Arnold the Armadillo who wants nothing to do with him. Bubsy, worst of all, has on repeated occasions said the "What could pawsibly go wrong?" catchphrase.
 * 5) Bubsy is a lazy jerk, as shown in the pilot, where he would rather watch TV than celebrate his niece and nephew's birthdays.
 * 6) His Twitter account is just as awful, yet again cashing again on Sonic the Hedgehog, and littered with unfunny, cash-in jokes.
 * 7) He believes himself to be a 'hero' despite usually making things worse and fixing them by mistake.
 * 8) He was one of Rob Paulsen's least favorite voice-over roles along with Coconut Fred, another character Paulsen hates, voicing him in Bubsy, Bubsy II, and the failed pilot.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) A bobcat with the ability to glide is kind of interesting.
 * 2) Since he can break the fourth wall, he openly mocks players and the developers themselves.
 * 3) His design overall is decent.

Trivia

 * Bubsy was originally going to wear green tennis shoes in early concept art. It is likely these were removed as to not make Bubsy seem too similar to Sonic.
 * In Bubsy Paws of Fire, the concept of him wearing shoes has been included into his redesign.
