Best Video Game Sidekicks

Top Sidekicks in Video Game History
A lot of times in movies, television and video games, the hero of the story is your prototypical hero. They can often be pretty boring because most of them are the same. Sometimes the characters surrounding the hero are more entertaining. Like the sidekick, for example. Sidekicks can be very important in any story and these are the 5 best sidekicks in video games.
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Tails and Knuckles
Video Game: Sonic the Hedgehog
I'm not really a big fan of any of the Sonic the Hedgehog games beyond the very first one but the Sonic franchise is a popular franchise and so are the other characters. If nothing else Tails and Knuckles are two popular sidekicks.
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Yoshi
Video Game: Super Mario Brothers
I've seen some people say Luigi is their favorite sidekick but that's just crazy. Luigi is not a sidekick. Yoshi is a sidekick and a darn good one too. How many sidekicks do you know that can swallow enemies whole?
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Agro
Video Game: Shadow of the Colossus
Shadow of the Colossus involves long journeys across a large world to fight nothing by boss characters. During these long journeys and tough battles you naturally become pretty attached to your one friend and traveler. I'm talking about your horse Argo of course.
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Diddy Kong
Video Game: Donkey Kong Country
Another Donkey Kong game is long over due. Last time I remember playing a Donkey Kong game it was way back on the Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. In Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong had a sidekick, Diddy Kong, that the player could swap in for Donkey Kong any time they needed a smaller and faster character.
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Doc
Video Game: Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
I'm not sure if Doc really counts as a sidekick since he's actually Little Mac's teacher but these two are inseparable and Little Mac is the hero, so Doc has to be the sidekick doesn't he?
Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: Max
Video Game: Sam and Max
Anytime you need some laughs then Sam and Max is a good choice. Max is one of the most entertaining sidekicks in video game history and he's also very helpful in the Sam and Max games.

Greatest Video Game Sidekicks: HK47
Video Game: Knights of the Old Republic
If you like to wack some meatbags, and I do, then there is no sidekick better for you than HK47. HK47 might not be very politically correct, but let's be honest, he's just saying everything we're thinking.
