Best Butts in Gaming: A Look at Lower Halves

Video games have become quite a prominent form of entertainment now widely accepted in pop culture. And since their inception, video games have grown quite alluring to the eye. One sense of appeal that has maintained to reside among all forms of entertainment is sex appeal, and these following characters have the butts that continue to reverberate around our dearest memories. [Editor’s note: This article contains suggestive content and mild language.]

20. Papyrus (Undertale) Written by Flora Eloise

Though not the most curvaceous in our comprehensive list of couch-sitters, Undertale‘s Papyrus allures even those who like their thighs a little thick. Sometimes proportional trumps voluptuous. Papyrus is a cool dude who cooks you spaghetti and loves you whether you bone him or not. Not to mention you can bet that his butt will never sag with age. A true companion, he loves you for who you are and calls you just to say hi later in the game, which really fleshes out your relationship with him.  You never get a great look at his rare rump, but rest assured, Papyrus’ rear should be cherished. His bones are hard to beat. I’m just relieved to have this skeleton out of my closet.

19.  Cortana (Halo series)

It’s not much of a stretch to say that this AI clone of Dr. Halsey was on most players’ wish lists after kindly being introduced in Halo. Throughout the growth of the games over the years the images have become crisp and fluid. Cortana’s artificially constructed buttocks were not ignored in these improvements. In fact, it’s possibly the very focus of artificial advances.

18.  Samus Aran (Metroid series)

One of the original heroines in gaming that has been paraded over the years as the surprise eye candy after the player’s victory in Metroid. Once the armor comes off and full curves come into view, the sweet 8-bit bikini’d body of everyone’s favorite Zebes Bounty Hunter is laid bare. Samus shows off all the benefits Chozo DNA does to a woman’s derriere.

17. Mario (The Super Mario Series)

Mario, the poster boy for Nintendo himself who alone caused this spectacle wields the butt crafted by the legend that is Shigeru Miyamoto and hot damn does he work with what he’s got. Aside from all the various power ups Mario obtains through his travels, his buttocks is the one weapon that has never failed him ever since he adopted the “ground pound” from Bowser in Super Mario Bros. 3 (31 years of ass smash). Through its constant use and the sheer amount of stress these cheeks are subjected to it continues to strut along. We can only guess that Mario’s skull isn’t the only thing he possesses that’s impregnable.

16. Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong Country series) Written by Ben Vollmer

Sculpted from stone, Donkey Kong’s ass is the envy of the entire Smash Bros roster. Often times, if you look close enough, even Bayonetta can be caught eyeing the voluptuous rump mid-match. Here’s the real question: how did Donkey Kong get such righteous glutes? Perhaps he spent some extended time with Wii Fit Trainer, but I hypothesize it’s just from all of those years of carrying barrels around.

Put your hands together,  for the cheeks that clap

DK has an ass that we all want to tap

15. Raiden (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) Written by Siminur
    
    What’s better than a shapely and attractive booty? A cybernetically enhanced booty, of course! Raiden from the Metal Gear series is a former child soldier and mercenary, turned ninja cyborg and protector of the weak. Having lost a limb or two on the job, Raiden was in need of a shiny new body for his own spinoff game. It’s impressively shaped for combat, but isn’t half bad to look at either. And the developers are clearly proud of it, having purposefully enabled unrestricted camera angles, which gives you a perfect view of not only Raiden’s meticulously defined glutes, but also his package. While the game does not lack other attractive cyborgs or cameras conveniently placed behind the sexy antagonists in cutscenes, Raiden’s butt is one you can admire while you run around slicing and dicing your enemies to bits.

14. The Yeti (Titan Souls)

Titan Souls is basically a boss rush of one shots on both ends and a good amount of the bosses take some sort of thought to find their “weak point.” This is not the case when you waltz into the fight with The Yeti. Clear as day, you find your mark to be its bright pink butt and for the remainder of the fight (however long it may take) your eyes are fixated on that rear, hoping to pierce its cornhole with your mighty arrow. Long after you finish the fight, even if you forget his attack pattern, that ass will remain ingrained.

13. Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher series)

A Witcher whose existence is ubiquitous, known for his skills and abilities, and in possession of a posterior just as proud as the city of Rivia. This ass may take backseat when in battle, but once Geralt gets his burly mitts on a lover of the player’s choosing, we get the ass men could only hold envy towards.

12. Feraligatr (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald)

Trust me, this entry is just as much of a sidewinder for me as it may be for the majority, butt just look at that sprite. That is what all the professional Pokemon Breeders are striving for. This is what wins beauty contests. Feraligatr may be known as the “Big Jaw Pokemon,” yet there is a bigger and a much more defined outlier that could make the most stone-faced gym leaders crack a not-so-scary face in its presence.  

11. Handsome Jack (Borderlands series) Written by Andy Webb

The last thing you could say about Handsome Jack is that he’s flat. One of the most complex characters the Borderlands have ever seen, he has a deep and widely penetrating influence over the inhabitants of Pandora and chooses to express himself in a multitude of psychotic ways. He doesn’t like to do the dirty work, but can’t always avoid it. From manipulating the Hyperion company to abusing his daughter to murdering Helena Pierce in cold blood to shooting Roland in the back…I’d say Handsome Jack is definitely dirty. What an ass.

10. Captain Falcon (F-Zero series)

Speed isn’t the only characteristic this pilot boasts on the raceway. Captain Falcon’s muscular physique is one that has been crafted through his history of bounty hunting. Rather than his involvement in F-Zero, it’s his representation in the Smash Bros. series that has garnered his devoted fanbase, and for good reason. Whether he’s winding up his “Falcon Punch” or is in mid-animation of his “Justice Knee,” the definition of his ass is cleverly complimented by his bright skin-tight body armor.

9. Solid Snake (Metal Gear series)

Cloned from the genetics of Big Boss, Solid Snake is a decorated war veteran that has thwarted not only nuclear ruination, but the likes of the supernatural as well. Snake’s body is one that was chiseled by the talented hands of Dr. Clark, who modified the genes to get Big Boss’ best features. Regardless of the accelerated aging Snake fell victim to, the graphical advancement shown in Metal Gear Solid 4 postures the posterior of a war hero.

8. Dante (Devil May Cry series)

Smokin’ Sexy Style is just one of the many titles bequeathed to the Legendary Devil Hunter, Dante. Hitting the genetic Jackpot, he’s blessed with an ass that pulls the best curves from both angel and demon lord alike. Dante roams the worlds on a perennial hunt with an authority that makes the most proud people blush with each takeaway, only stopping stopping for the occasional pepperoni pizza and strawberry milkshake.  

7. Nova Terra (StarCraft)

A ghost who is by no means ghastly, Nova Terra is an operative with telepathic powers and a great asset to her many comrades. Born a “golden child,” she had a refined upbringing that ultimately fell through into a bloodied history that is truly haunting. That said, her environment has fostered an ass that puckers like a ripened Peach, primed for fermentation.

6. Ivy Valentine (Soul Calibur series)

Straight from Project Souls’ hive mind of Bandai Namco, we have one of the most captivating fighting characters that has just as many mammary motions as does actual attacks. She wields the Snake Sword (no I’m not making that name up) while dawning the ensemble of exhibitionists. Ivy presents the wanting public near all of what she has to bear (though usually at the cost of the leering life) and while most onlookers are content with just peering at Ivy’s robust chest, the truly dedicated are rewarded with an ass that just can’t be contained.

5. Wario

Where most butts boast volume, size, and definition, Wario is among the party of practicality and has weaponized his ass with devastating execution. Whether it be in his Wario World game or his representation in Smash Bros., Wario makes full use of the bottom bequeathed unto him. You may argue that it might not be much to look at, but try facing him with that bulbous flatulence cannon readied at your contrarian mug.

4. Rainbow Mika (Street Fighter)

Mika is a Japanese Pro Wrestler that has trained under Zangief in all things muscle, but Mika doesn’t boast rippling pectorals like Zangief. Her strength is phenomenal, but isn’t visible by appearance alone. What is clearly visible though is her prominent bust and practically bare ass (send thanks to her costume tailor). Not only is her bum bounteous to behold, but has been made quite the asset in her attack pool (going so far as to have Peach in the name of most all her specials).

3. Asylum Demon (Dark Souls)

Following the path that has been paved by Sir Mix-A-Lot, the Asylum demon has taken practicality to the next level by making his massive ass the very wall every newcomer to Dark Souls must overcome. If we look into the near 3 million copies of Dark Souls that have been sold and assume that at least half of those players have fallen victim to Asylum demon at least once in their playthroughs, we will find that this demon’s ass has taken more lives than the number of cheeks you’ll meet in your life. This butt is one that should be feared just as well as it is celebrated.

2. 2B (NieR:Automata)

Our favorite robot combatting android doesn’t like to show what her “human” creators gave her, but with enough persistence she’ll smack you with a “What are you doing?” when peeking at her underside. It’s pretty safe to assume this is the first and maybe only trophy players acquired upon playing this game. Regardless of her inner “machinations,” it’s hard to admit that her expertly crafted butt didn’t go feverishly scrutinized.

1. King Zora (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time) Written by Barry Irick

While most butts people talk about are in relation to size or visibility, King Zora proves that the best ones are those that impact the most people. All of Hyrule’s fresh water passes under his derrière, guaranteeing that every man, woman, and child in the kingdom has had a taste of his majesty’s buttocks. In fact, one of Ocarina of Time‘s most iconic scenes is how long it takes to move his fanny, with every inch made known by a “mweep.”
