Sackboy.


I've played hours of LPB with people who still don't know Sackboy by name.

Clearly, Mario is the King of Videogames. Long live the King.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy
