The mascots
The mascot images are the characters that appear in the upper right corner of the site. They were added to the site in 200X and have grown in numbers since. As of current (02-20-08), there are 152 mascot images.
The project
The articles
Each of the mascots has at least one article, also referred to as a bio. A few of them have more than one image, but only one article (Crono, Princess Zelda, and Solid Snake), which means that clicking either of the images will redirect you to the same page.
The articles were written with a few things in mind:
- They are meant as an introduction, not a full (?)
- We did our best to keep spoilers out
- Each article has sources listed used when writing it
The Darkstalker mascots had special treatment because the one who wrote them, the Coop, posted all of his articles in a very short period of time, before anyone had a chance to tell him about the rules. As a result, we added his first set of articles as bonus articles.
Each mascot has a list of appearances. We initially wanted to list every game that a character had been in, but for some characters, the list got ridiculously long (e.g. Mario) and so we had to settle for the following:
- All games that this character is in and that has remixes on this site are listed. If we missed any, tell us.
- Some characters have been in very few or none of the games that has remixes on this site. In those cases, we have added a few games to the list for reference.
Origins / History
I'll include more details here, but the below should stay: The full story is available at in the project thread.
