If you were looking for our lovable mascot, please see Trope-tan. A character, animal or animate object (see Everything Talks) which theoretically represents all that is good and attractive about a product, and which may act as a spokesman for it. Sometimes it may be an anthropomorphized version of the product itself, or of some primary component in it. Mascots were almost mandatory in the early days of advertising on radio and television, but are far less common today, probably because of the growing sophistication (or cynicism if you prefer) of the audience coupled with the perception that they are, really, rather silly. Outside of advertising aimed at children and/or breakfast foods, a Mascot in a modern commercial is as likely to be a subversion as not. An exception would be Japan, where everything has a cute mascot nowadays. EVERYTHING.◊ |

In North America, the PlayStation was originally going to have a mascot named Polygon Man who appears in the early marketing of the console, but was completely absent in the console because Ken Kutaragi was disappointed with his design so he's absent in the final release and fell to obscurity.

Crash Bandicoot was at one point considered the unofficial mascot of the PlayStation and Sony Computer Entertainment, as he was made to be the console's answer to both Sonic and Mario. The American commercials featuring the guy in the Crash suit taking shots at Nintendo only cemented this.

Athena Asamiya was viewed as the more recognizable face of SNK before she was pushed to the sidelines for the more popular Terry Bogard. This gets used as a joke in The King of Fighters where she has a bitter rivalry with him. Though by XIII she seems to have gotten over it and has nothing but respect for him. Kyo Kusanagi and Nakoruru are usually not too far behind. | |

To many gaming fans, the original Mega Man is usually considered to be the mascot for Capcom due to his series being one of Capcom's earliest major successes, their first for home consoles, and a family-friendly face on par with Mario, Sonic and Pac-Man (which didn't go unnoticed in the recent Super Smash Bros. titles). He's since been Out of Focus ever since Keiji Inafune left the company and possibly because of the abundance of several different versions of Mega Man. | |

In recent years, Capcom's attempt at a mascot has since diminished, but the company has always and continue to push its topical characters as an ensemble in promtional artwork and within several Capcom vs. titles. Featured characters often include characters from its two current best-selling flagship franchises, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, at least one version of Mega Man, Ryu alongside other Street Fighter characters (Usually Chun-Li) or characters in the same universe (like Final Fight or Rival Schools), Morrgian Aensland from the Darkstalkers / Vampire series, Viewtiful Joe, and Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney series, among others. | |

Cloud Strife is generally considered by many to be the most iconic character from Final Fantasy and as such is considered to be the poster boy of the company as a whole, being featured in such games as Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros., and Square would later try to recreate Cloud's success with Lightning Farron, but Cloud has continued to stay in the spotlight. And speaking of Kingdom Hearts, Sora also counts as a mascot, both for Square Enix and the franchise. | |

German Cell-phone and music company Jamster/JAMBA currently have two mascots for the company who are also characters created by the company (Baby Vuvu, and Schnuffel) who both replaced The Crazy Frog who was the company's former mascot in the early 2000's. Schnuffel (Snuggle Bunny)◊ gets special mention since the character apparently started out as a one-shot character debuting in 2007 with song sang by the character called "The Snuggle Song" like the previous character created by the company. However the song and character became so popular in Germany that the company decided to create more songs and music videos featuring the character complete with a few albums where you can lesson to more songs sang by the character and even showed up at a few live shows in Germany. Then in 2010, the company created a second bunny character named Schnffelienchen (Snuggelina) who is Snuggle's girlfriend and even had songs of her own. That same year the company started releasing Audio CD's currently only available in Germany that stars the duo on various adventures and are actually voiced by different voice actors and aren't high pitched like they usually are. |

In the early days of the official Cirque du Soleil website (1996-97), the Baron from Saltimbanco served as the "host". From 1998 to 2001 or so, the Great Chamberlain from the retired show Nouvelle Experience took on this duty. Nowadays, several of the shows have a character who effectively is the face of it in advertisements, but that falls under Series Mascot. | |

Alka-Seltzer was represented from 1951 to 1964 by Speedy Alka-Seltzer, a walking, talking antacid tablet. He was animated via stop-motion puppetry and voiced by Dick Beals. note (one of the rare few male voice actors who could do convincing kid voices; his secret is that he never underwent puberty due to a glandular problem) The character was revived briefly in 1976 (as part of the "plop, plop, fizz, fizz" campaign) and 2010 (with the voice of Debi Derryberry from Zatch Bell! and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius). | |

Fictional example: "Vault Boy", the wavy-haired boy in the vault-dweller jumpsuit who serves as the smiling figurehead for Vault-Tec in Fallout. Fans call him "Fallout Boy" (no relation to the band or the fictional character on The Simpsons), and he's come to serve as a mascot for the game series, as well. Not to be confused (although he often has been, even the developers of Fallout Tactics made this mistake) with "Pip-Boy", who is the redheaded pixie in the yellow and orange spacesuit, visible on the logo of the Pip-Boy 2000. |

Unlike most other forms of media, video game mascots tend to fall under a slippery slope. In the past, many video game companies either used one or more characters from their most popular franchises as an official or unofficial mascot of some sort, or created one for the company's logo or exclusively for marketing purposes. Many of these mascots were cartoon or anime-influenced and made to appeal to their target audience, children. With gaming now being an industry focused on adults and most gaming protagonists following suit, many older mascots have been retired, mascots in general aren't really pushed as heavily as they were in previous decades, and many people tend to throw around the term "mascot" as the protagonist of a company's flagship series, whether it be a current or legacy series, due to the impact the character's game series has had on the industry or out of nostalgia. Out of all of them, the only ones that are undeniably official mascots and usually considered equal to Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny are Mario for Nintendo, Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega, and Pac-Man for what was originally Namco. They're usually the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about their respective companies and, at least during each of their heydays, had their images or associated sound effects plastered on logos, commercials, and company products outside their own series. | |

The Apple adverts in Britain featured David Mitchell and Robert Webb as the PC and the Mac respectively. They have been quite unpopular, and have raised questions about the duo's credibility. Not least because, like the US adverts, while Webb is the ostentatiously cool character, Mitchell generally comes across as the more down-to-earth and likeable (this is despite him often playing the role of an unapologetic quasi-intellectual). While hosting Have I Got News for You, Webb explained to Ian that he had played the smug unbearable one whose product you were meant to buy, while Mitchell had all the fun lines and he was meant to be despised. He described it as a 'confused campaign'. | |

Tsukipro has mascots for 8 of its idol groups - Tsukiusa ("moon rabbit") for the Tsukiuta groups, Lizz-kun for the SQ groups, and Arainu ("Alive dog") for the Alive groups. The mascots have the same oblong bodies and minimalist faces, but different ears and tails depending on the animal, and they come in each member's unit colors, so fans can show who their favorite idol is by which color mascot they carry. In-universe, the idols tend to carry their own mascots on their bags, as well. In real life, special-edition collars and t-shirts for the mascot plushies are sold at events, and many fans have also taken to making accessories and costumes for them. And of course, full size mascots appear at the events for photo ops (and in the first anime, two of the idols have to wear the suits for a special job). | |

Alongside them were Captain Commando, who appeared in packaging and game manuals before starring in his own self-titled video game (even taking center stage over Mega Man and Ryu in the opening of the first Marvel vs. Capcom), and Mobi-chan, a tiny version of the player character from Hyper Dyne Side Arms who appeared as an easter egg throughout several Capcom games, including those within the Mega Man and Street Fighter series. | |

Before Sonic's introduction, Alex Kidd was considered to be Sega's mascot, something later reaffirmed in several games, including Sega Ages series of rereleases for the Nintendo Switch. Opa-Opa of Fantasy Zone is also in a similar position, having cameos across several games. | |

Like with Pac-Man, most of BNEI's other recurring mascot characters originated from the pre-merger Namco days, specifically its early-arcade era back in the '80s, including Mappy and Goro (Nyamco in the Japanese version), Taizo Hori and the enemies Pooka and Fygar from Dig Dug, the Mushlins from Libble Rabble, and Gilgamesh and Ki from The Tower of Druaga. Popular characters from outside that era include Kazuya, Heihachi, Klonoa, and Don Wada. | |

While The Pokémon Company operates separately from Nintendo, Pikachu is not too far behind Mario, being the face of the Pokémon franchise, appearing in every game of the series and nearly every episode of Pokémon: The Series. Pikachu also became Japan's Official Mascot for Brazil 2014 World Cup. Let's take a survey: ask anyone off the street if 1) they play Pokemon & 2) if so, which Pokemon is their favorite. If the answer to #1 is "yes", see how many answer "Pikachu" to #2. The results may surprise you. |

The Companion Cube for Portal. Portal 2 uses Atlas and P-Body, the robots from the game's co-op mode. Valve have also used other characters as mascots, with the Heavy Weapons Guy or the Soldier representing Team Fortress 2. The announcement for the Steam platform coming to the Mac used one of Portal's iPod-esque turrets to resemble the Mac and the Engineer's solidly mechanical turret from TF2 for the PC. |

Pac-Man was the official mascot for Namco and was quite possibly one of the earliest gaming mascots, predating Mario by a year and being more recognizable by older audiences. At a time when most games were Pong-clones or shooters, Pac-Man was created as a friendly face to bring in more female players. Though not as obvious as it once was ever since the merger with Bandai, He is still considered to be this for the gaming division, having many seperate social media accounts representing the character. | |

While Ryu predates him by a few months, it wasn't until four years later that his series played a significant part in gaming history and revolutionized the fighting genre forever. However, his series was put on a long hiatus after the late 90s once the arcade scene and the fighting game genre started to lose steam. Even then, he's not a major player in the story of most of the games. Many of the female characters such as Chun-Li has proven to be breakout characters having their popularity overtake Ryu's, and there have even been attempts to give the leading role to new characters (such as Alex and Luke). | |

An in-universe example with the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game. As Bufo is a mascot of the Amazement Attraction theme park, he is classified as Beast-Type because he's a fluffy teddy bear. This typing for cute animals has precedence with the Rescue series and the Melffy archetype. | |
