Have you ever wondered why some video game characters wear
trousers and others don’t? Or pondered the connection between a character’s
toned, muscular derrière and their level of dexterity? What about the depth of
a crack, the jiggle of a cheek?
When it comes to video game character designs, one of the
most overlooked aspects is the buttocks. Sure, we might appreciate a nice toned butt on a character or giggle at GIFs of farts
from time to time, but how often do we stop to really think about the meaning
of the butt?
In Things I Learned from
Mario’s Butt, video game critic Laura Kate Dale brings backsides to the
foreground, analysing dozens of posteriors and asking the important questions:
Has Mario let himself go? Do Link’s small buttocks hold him back? When he
dies, is Pac-Man eaten by his own caboose?
