5 Gaming Sidekicks That Are Easy to Hate

Baby Mario – Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island

I don’t know who thought babies would be great video game companions to hang out with, but that person should reacquaint themselves with how troublesome toddlers can be. They’re annoying. Sure, they’re cute, but they’re also so annoying.

As Yoshi, players need to take Baby Mario home in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. Apparently, as a child, Mario was quite needy, as he will immediately burst into tears upon being separated from Yoshi. He will just cry and cry until the player gets them back into Yoshi’s saddle. It gets old very quickly. More than once, I wished I could swallow Baby Mario and trap him inside an egg, so if he did start crying I wouldn’t be able to hear him anymore.
