Bubsy Bobcat is the main protagonist of the video game franchise of the same name, Bubsy.
In 1991, Accolade's Michael Berlyn designed for them a mascot during the ongoing console wars; and Bubsy, as for many other video game characters from the 90s, was a response to the popular Mario and Sonic from Nintendo and Sega, respectively.
Though Bubsy failed to earn himself the same status as said mascots, he became "ironically liked" and managed to stay somewhat relevant over the years.
He made his first official appearance on March 4, 1993, with the release of Bubsy I, but appeared in promotional publications months prior.
Trivia[]
While he is hated by many, including Fawful's Minion and AVGN, Ikran'd only judge him by his original game. Although he is a cult classic and liked by some such as The Top Loader.
