Bio: Ever present, ever helpful, and ever mocking, the Laughing Dog remains the original "YOU FAIL, LOL!" amongst gaming icons.

Games: Punch-Out!! (Arcade - 1984), Super Punch-Out!! (SNES - 1994)
Bio: This kid from the Bronx of New York City, was trained by Doc Louis, a former heavyweight champion. He's small, but he's got a lot of guts.

Remember Little Mac, stick and move!
Tech: While it's obvious that Little Mac is a boxer and would thus rely on fist-fighting, his signature move is the hard hitting jumping strike he performs on larger fighters, due to his small size.

Games: Eggerland Mystery (MSX - 1985), Eggerland 2 (MSX - 1986), Eggerland (Famicom Disk System - 1987), Eggerland - Revival of the Labyrinth (Famicom - 1988), Eggerland - Departure to Creation (Famicom Disk System - 1988), Adventures of Lolo (NES - 1989), Adventures of Lolo 2 (NES - 1990), Adventures of Lolo 3 (NES - 1991), Lolo's Great Adventure (GB - 1994)
Bio: Before Lolo became a King, he was a simple adventurer and masterful musician, seeking to rescue the princess Lala from the wicked King Egger. But to do that, he's had to plow through room after room of deadly traps, fighting past snakes, armadillos, walking golems and whales, not to mention medusa and don medusa! Luckily for Lala and their future son Prince Lulu, Lolo's a pretty determined guy, and just refuses to quit, even when he takes his 38th death on floor 26 out of 100.... (Note: If he looks familiar, it's because he's also cameo'd in Kirby's series as a boss called 'Lololo')

Lucario
Games: Pokemon: Diamond/Pearl (DS - 2007)
Bio: This Fighting/Steel type pokemon is a curious one at the moment. It closes its eyes to focus its energy, making the 'braids' on the back of its head begin to float. Lucario questions the nature of pokemon/trainer relationships and is unwilling to simply give in to the concept. Lucario is a level two evolution, meaning it's the evolved form of another Pokemon. Apparently it's more common than you'd think, which leads to more even more questions. It's the first Fighting/Steel combination to appear in the Pokemon series thus far.
Tech: As a Steel/Fighting type, Lucario can use moves like Hi-Jump Kick, Metal Claw, Metal Sound, Bone Rush, QUick Attack, etc., as well as its special move, "Wave Guiding Bomb."

Lucas
Games: Mother 3 (GBA - 2006)
Bio: Lucas's story is equal parts heartbreaking and strange. It all began three years ago, with the arrival of the Pig Mask Army. Lucas soon found himself an only child as his brother was lost and presumed dead, and his mother was killed by a beast that the Pig Masks had experimented on. Dissatisfied with the world, Lucas first went with the flow, but soon he teamed up with the thief, Duster, the princess, Kumatora, and his faithful dog, Boney, in an effort to repel the efforts of the wicked Pig Mask Army. They soon found themselves meeting with the mystical Magypsies, an order of magical men dedicated to protecting those points of the world where energy spilled out like a fountain. They told Lucas that his only hope to match the power of the Army was to channel the energy into himself, but this task was not without problems. It seems an agent of the Pig Mask Army was also working to imbibe this energy himself, racing and beating Lucas's team to several of the 'needles' that sealed away the world's power. As Lucas and his friends delved deeper and deeper into their quest, they soon ran up against the Pig Mask Army and its creations, the greedy and utterly loathesome merchant Yokuba, and the horrible face behind all of this nightmare, Pokey Minch.
It seems Pokey was still enraged at being defeated by Ness, and escaped into a time in his Heavily Armored Craft. He seethed at the thought of a world where he couldn't win because he wasn't viewed as the hero. How was he expected to become powerful and respected when the world itself united against him? Thus, Pokey decided there was only one thing to do. He needed to travel, amass power, and reshape the world into one of his choosing. He'd sculpt every detail, making it so that he was the one people relied upon and came to recognize as the hero. His body, left twisted and frozen from the rigors of time travel, remained in a large mechanical device which allowed him to move and attack. He even went so far as to abduct Claus's body, bring him back to life, and brainwash him into being his loyal servant. In the end, Pokey's foolishness was his own undoing, allowing himself to be permanently sealed away inside of Dr.Andonut's Sphere from which nothing could escape.
All that was left was to undo what Pokey had done. Lucas and Claus faced off at the final needle of the world, and Claus attacked Lucas with an unseen viciousness, pummeling him with spells and weaponry while Lucas only held up his hands to fend off his brother's attacks. As the battle wore on, soon the voice of their mother, Hinawa, permeated their midsts, piercing through Claus's blanketed mind. Flint joined in as well, standing beside Lucas in battle as Claus finally broke free of Pokey's devilry and collapsed. With Kumatora, Duster, Flint, Boney and his brother Claus standing before him, Lucas finally pulled the final needle. With that gesture, he unleashed the hope in his heart that the world could still be a good place, free of the influences of Pokey Minch forever. The sky darkened, the earth shook, the seas spit fire and the clouds sent out tornadoes as the world was ripped apart and reordered, resorted, and restored back to how it once was, allowing everyone, except for Pokey Minch, a shot at pure, Pokey free life.
Tech: Lucas mainly fights with sticks and bats, but he's also got Psi powers common to the Earthbound/Mother series, including PK Special, PK Flash, Life Up, Healing, Refresh, Psycho Counter and more.

Bio: Mike Jones wasn't exactly prepared to become a universal savior, he was just hoping for a nice vacation from school. Sure, it's nice being a star pitcher for your school's team, but anything that gets you out of homework is always a bonus! Little did Mike suspect that upon arriving at C-Island, where he was supposed to meet his Uncle, Dr.Steve Jones, he would instead find mystery, intrigue and a missing Uncle. Now, armed with his Uncle's Sub-C and his R.O.B.-fascimile buddy, the two travel from Island to Island in search of Dr.J.... only to discover something far more sinister than just a missing Uncle. Mike soon finds himself taking on an intergalactic menace known as Zoda, who's trying to harness power to become omnipotent. In a fierce showdown, the power of children from space helps Mike save his Uncle, and the two return home to Seattle happily.
But not all is over once they've gotten home. It seems that while on an archaeological expedition in the C-Islands, Dr.Jones had found a mysterious history book with ancient text scrawled on it. Mike, curious kid that he is, picks it up and casually thumbs through it, only to be swallowed up by the book and hurled through time. Now, faced with three clones of Zoda, Mike must enlist the help of characters such as Cleopatra, King Arthur, Sherlock Holmes and more if he hopes to ever get home.
Tech: Originally Mike started out swinging a bat, hurling softballs, pitching torches, and basically using anything he could get his hands on as a weapon.

Bio: The unassuming Prince of a kingdom in the clouds, Stafy's adventures really began when, while out on a walk one day, he took a nasty spill and went tumbling out of the clouds, falling into the ocean far, far below. Once in the ocean, everyone, including his new clam friend Kyorosuke, simply assumed he was a Starfish. Working with the denizens of the sea, Stafy made his way back to his home in the clouds... but it wasn't for long. Soon, the wicked Oggura attacked the cloud kingdom, stealing away Stafy's mother and taking her to the land below. Undaunted by the idea of a swim this time, Stafy took off into the water and went after them, again with the help of Kyorosuke the clam. Once more, Oggura was defeated and sealed in a jar, where he remained, until Legend of Stafy 3... when a mysterious, malevolent force raided the castle and smashed the jar, freeing Oggura.
Stafy, joined now not only by Kyorosuke but also his sister Stapy, some rock and roll obsessed fish, a seal in a tiger costume, and even Wario, worked to catch Oggura, save the ocean, and defeat the hideous monstrosity that was killing off the world. In the end, Oggura decided that he enjoyed the world outside of his jar of holding enough that he didn't want to see it destroyed, and sacrificed himself to give Stafy and his friends the power they needed to finish the fight. Currently, Kyorosuke and his family now live in the clouds with Stafy and his family, and Stapy's busy training every day to be a better fighter. Recently, the three of them were called down once again when a glowing heart gemstone was stolen away by a massive demon, which plunged the land into chaos. Can the star people assume is a starfish stand up to the onslaught of enemies?

Bio: Perhaps most astounding is the fact that Tingle was once just an average middle-aged man, who simply sat around constantly bored by his dull life. Then, one day, he recieves a sacred message instructing him to travel to the sacred springs. It is at these springs that this middle aged man encounter the sage Rupee-ji. Rupee-ji informs him that should he throw enough rupees into the spring, he will ascend to a world of paradise known as 'Rupee Land.' The man, bored by life and eager to take on this interesting new venture agrees, and within a flash he's consumed by Rupee-ji's strange magic. When the smoke clears, there he stands, clad in green spandex, and overly Tingle, his life blood is now rupees, and to be without currency, means death, a curse that accompanies his strange form's new strange abilities. Now, with the help of his dog Dongle, Tingle seeks to achieve enough rupees to ascend to the heavens, even if it means taking on some of the scariest creatures in the land... bill collectors.
Now under Rupeeji's spell, Tingle explores lands both familiar and new, from the Deku Forest and Death Mountain, to the Bog of Swarms and the Garden of Consequences. Faithfully he pours all of his money into the Rupee Fountain in hopes of reaching paradise, only to make a grim discovery. Rupeeji isn't a God of Rewards and Pleasure, he's a God of Greed and Treachery. He uses Tingle's own ambitions against him, leaving the poor guy in a cruel mockery of paradise, a devestated garden where the inhabitants are sealed away by his cruel magic, and the landscape is nothing but bleak sand and dangerous beasts. Not about to be conned out of his earnings, Tingle forges ahead, restoring the fairy queen and fighting his way past a gauntlet of Pigblins to unlock the means of taking on Rupeeji head to head. Rocketing out of the atmosphere atop a magic-driven tower and fueled by rupees and love, Tingle and Rupeeji face off on the barren moon.
Rupeeji laughs at Tingle as most would, and immediately attacks him with unfathomable power generated by the greed that's in the hearts of all living beings. Luckily for Tingle, he has the Fairy Queen and her previously Rupeeji cursed daughter, Pinkle, on his side. They supply him with the force of love, and Tingle adds to that the only thing that can counter greed, generosity. Using a mystic device that draws its energy from Tingle's own rupee-based life force, there's a tremendous clash on the moon with waves of energy being thrown back and forth between the two, as Rupeeji takes on more powerful forms, eventually becoming Rupee-Z, and finally the massive diety, Rupee. Tingle manages to defeat him, sending a wellspring of rupees into the atmosphere, raining down on the impovrished townspeople. Tingle himself is rewarded with all the things he dreamt of, including a swimming pool, a nice place to live for himself and his dog, and high class adventures with Pinkle. Of course, as long as greed exists, Rupeeji only need bide his time...
Tech: Tingle's been seen with bombs and explosives often, commonly while floating around on one of his signature balloons. Recently, however, he's been spotted lunging onto monsters and enveloping them in massive dust-clouds to defeat them, all in the hopes of rupee goodness. Aside from explosives, Tingle also makes use of a number of potions and devices used for snaring, subduing and defeating the most vicious of beasts.
