"Little Brother Co-op"

[Anonymous No.9945282]

What are some co-op games where the second player can remain helpful even if they are really bad at the game? Like a game you would let your little brother play with you. This would be the opposite of a game like Battletoads where co-op actually makes the game harder.

Best example I can think of this is Sonic 2 (and 3 I guess). Tails tags along but he can't be permanently hurt, and the screen only follows Sonic so he can't mess you up by scrolling the screen. You can use him to go after enemies, bosses and to collect stray rings.

I used to hand my brother the 2nd controller and tell him he was The Blob. (He was 2 years old at the time)

Sorry that doesn’t answer your question but that’s what it reminded me of.

I believe Super Mario Galaxy has a 2 player mode that has the second player control the reticule to pick up and fire star pieces.

Bubsy 2 has a co-op mode where player 2 can control Bubsy's niece or nephew that is invincible and can fly around shoot enemies.

In Jet Force Gemini you could do 2-player co-op through the main story but the 2nd player would just aim and shoot with a robot fella that would hover around player 1's character. All player 2 had to do was aim and shoot. Perfect little brother co-op and I was that little brother many times.

Tyrian has a mode where player 2 controls the ship's turret
