Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko 

Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko is a term for a lovable character thats talked about alot but no one knows this character besides its fans.
Is this the Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko of this community?

Scrimblo Bimblo 

Derived from "Scrimblo Bimblo, the lovable Scrunko" a term used to describe obscure, cartoon-like video game mascots. Now used as a general term for all mascots of this nature (e.g. Mario, Sonic, Pacman, Crash Bandicoot, etc).

The term has risen to prominence in the Super Smash Bros community, due to the abundance of fans calling for the inclusion of recognisable mascots such as Crash and Spyro. Some (not all) of these fans take issue with the inclusion of less recognisable JRPG characters, often labeled as "anime sword fighters", due to them being generally less recognisable to westerners, and having similar appearances and abilities, which some feel makes the roster stale.

In response, the section of the fanbase who support the inclusion of "anime sword fighters" (and other similar characters) will use the term Scrimblo Bimblo in a more negative light, criticizing those who propose the inclusion of said characters as blinded by nostalgia, biased towards well known characters, or simply lacking in video game knowledge.
Person A: I'm sick of all these characters I don't recognize in Smash. When will Nintendo listen to the fans and add Crash or Spyro to the game?

Person B: You're just a biased westerner, blinded by nostalgia. Typical Scrimblo Bimblo fanboy!

Bob: "Hey man, did you see the new Smash Bros. reveal?"
John: "Yeah, they finally added Scrimblo Bimblo, the Lovable Scrunko!"
Bob: "Come on. Don't slander Banjo and Kazooie like that!"
