Name: Fattington
Debut: Wario World
Oh... we got ourselves a big boy coming through.
Honestly, we need to talk about Wario World more. It’s a really weird game with a whole lot of weird enemies that just kind of existed on the GameCube before never being heard from again. There are a couple reasons I haven’t covered it as much as I have, though! For starters, I’ve never played that, and as well as that, it means I’d have to talk about a dinosaur wearing skimpy swimwear and I’m not sure if I’m mentally prepared for that. I’ll leave that one up to the other mods, I’m afraid!
But I am not afraid to talk about Fattington. I mean look at this! We have another contender for “absolute orb” on our hands! To put it simple, Fattington is fat. I don’t like to throw insults around here, but I mean, it doesn’t help that this guy has “fat” in the name. Fattington is fat, and also made of ice cream. That’s good! I am always a big fan of ice cream-themed character designs, as few and far between as they are. I have a feeling, though, that Fattington wasn’t always an ice cream man. You know how they say “you are what you eat?” Well maybe Fattington ate so much ice cream... that he became ice cream!
You’d figure that with how hungry Wario gets, you’d defeat this guy by eating him, but actually that is not the case! Especially weird since this game gave Wario some sort of Kirby-style vacuum breath! No, Fattington, as far as I can tell, is more or less Big Blob 2.0! Bigger, blobbier, more mobile, more common, and just about as invulnerable to Wario’s attacks. Try to touch Fattington, and you will just bounce away! That being said, with all the upgrades to the original Big Blob model, Fattington does have one downside, which is that it can be defeated by picking up any enemy or obstacle, and performing one of Wario’s three Mad Moves.
That being said, let’s re-iterate that there’s multiple of these, as opposed to just one Big Blob, and also they appear in an ice level. Where they can bounce you away. Yikes!
