Old games often have lame mascots too. For example, Link was basically just a Peter Pan rip off and Mario used to be 'Jumpman' without any background or characteristics.

But things were different back then.  Gaming was this new, exciting thing, and nobody had any expectations back then.  Today's developers have no excuse.
