However, these two qualities are often missing from franchise offshoots. These ventures are most successful when there is a combination of star power and-gasp-a good game. It’s no secret that game publishers pimp – I mean farm, yes, farm – out established heroes to make more money for their corporate masters. Mario, the king of moonlighting, has been: a golfer, tennis ace, boxing judge, go-kart driver extraordinaire, tennis umpire, doctor, role-playing hero, and even a plumber on his off-days. Mega Man has tried everything from racing, to fighting, to playing in board games – among others. Over the years, publishers have lent their most popular talent to walk-on in other projects. It’s no shock to see gaming mascots in different video game roles.
