| I think I'll start with some of them in SSBB
-For the Mario series I have to give the hat/crown off to Mario and Peach...Mario seems to be done on purpose though...so I'll forgive him...
-Link hits the mark IMO...name any girl out there that doesn't want him for starters?
-Samus hits this list as well IMO...lets see...tragic back story that is being milked like hell right now, great at anything she does or picks it up fast, is the center of attention in her games for the most part? I'm sort of waiting for the events after Metroid Fusion happen to see if my main point is proven though (she blew up a space station belonging to the GF and planet SR388...I just want to see if that comes back to haunt her...or will they just roll over and assume she is right?)
-Pokemon Trainer...he is going to be the best at the one thing his world cares about...and lets not forget the whole stop world issues thing in a single day with that...
That is all for now I guess... |

Mary Sue was a girl in a Star Trek fanfiction who was perfect in every single way. |

When all else fails, consult TVTropes. More specifically, We're looking for canon examples. |

Lets get that straight...Said fanfic was a parody of certain fanfics at the time..it's quite funny because it's true ^_^

| Actually I don't think it can apply to games very well. For if it could, every silent character, every overpowered villain (Kuja and Kefka anyone?) and every depressed "could it get any worse" character (Squall? Cloud? lol) would all be Mary Sue/Stu.
Which for the people who don't know means any character that is flawed or too perfect. One you either see has no personality, one that is too perfect (As you said) or one that is just a 2 dimensional personality.
Which applies to so many games that it doesn't work very well because you get more absorbed into words than a game I guess... |

| It can apply to games...what character development do they have is the 1st question... |
