Wild Woody sounds and looks like a sex offender.

Not the worst game ever made, but this shit stuck out to me as a kid as an embarrassing focus group created mascot.

This literal who (even though I kinda like the game) clockwork knight too. And Astal. The Saturn was honestly full of them. And none of them were necessarily bad games, just not anywhere close to mario/sonic/crash tier.

To be fair, he actually was Xbox's defacto mascot for a while after release. That was back when most people considered Master Chief to be too generic to be the Xbox's Mario. Needless to say, it only lasted like half a year.
