  • Smiling Friends Season 2 Episode 1 introduced us to Gwimbly, the abandoned video game mascot. After this new Smiling Friends episode aired on Adult Swim, fans were quick to turn Gwimbly into a real character that existed all throughout modern video game history. Remember when Gwimbly got DLC in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii? I 'member.

    It's no wonder everyone's obsessed with Gwimbly. A PS1 era game character who hasn't had a game in over a decade from a company that refuses to do anything with it? We've all had a favorite game like that at some point.

    Funnily enough, this seems to further support the episode's theme of letting forgotten characters have their chance to shine. Hell, it's even what Adult Swim is built on in the first place, reusing Hanna Barbera characters from the 60s for their shows, because they had the rights!

    I'm surprised that Smiling Friends made homage to the line of video game mascots outside of Mario and Sonic with Gwimbly. With the likes of Gex, Bubsy, Earthworm Jim, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dargon, and many more. Good job, Smiling Friends.

    I remember when Gwimbly was slated to do that crossover with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro in the canceled PS1 title, "Spryo, Crash and Gwimbly in Greatest Heroes All-Out Defense Force", where they had to stop Ripto, Dr. Neo Cortex and Count Gruxia from opening up the demon realm and releasing the darkness upon the world (in the English localization, this would've been changed to your garden variety "take over the world plot"), but the game got canceled after Insane Ground Breaking Games was bought by Nintendo, similar to how Rareware got bought by Microsoft from Nintendo.

    What makes Gwimbly a great character is that he is a representation of Video game series like Banjo Kazooie, Mother/Earthbound series, Fzero, Metal Gear, Castlevania, Rayman and more don’t get any new game for years in their respective companies and Video games companies poorly treated them, as a big gamer myself this is so accurate.

    Not alot of people actually know this but Gwimbly 3D was like the 4th game in the series. Thr original was called Gwimble and was kinda a cult classic on the NES. Although the character design changed alot bewteen then and the critically acclaimed Gwimbly 3D so it's a bit of lost knowledge. Also if I remember correctly his little sidekick wasn't a thing until Gwimbly 3D cuz they wanted to have a partner that could relay story to the player.
    Man I love those games. Wish they'd make a new one!
