Like if Mario didn't do what he did for gaming, and if Crash didn't have the best marketing of the 90's, would they both be lovable simply from their designs? I'm not trying to make a point or say I don't think they have good designs, I'm genuinely curious. |
Mario is because the games are great and he has an easy memorable design like Mickey Mouse. Sonic is an easy design and instantly recognizable. Crash..no just a mediocre product of the 90s cashing in on Sonic tude, he just happened to be at the right place at the right time on a popular system. I honestly feel NiGHTS would have had the Crash fame if on PS1 and Crash could be among Gex and Croc as forgotten 90s tude mascots. (btw I don't like NiGHTS before anyone accuses of bias) Crash is horribly designed freak with his arms coming out of his head. Crash got a nostalgic revival but honestly, new paint doesn't hide how dated those games are.Crash games felt mediocre even back then to me.
