Something that I've noticed ever since the Smiling Critters were introduced is that they can so easily be paired off into complementary duos, ones that are specifically designed to teach children fundamental lessons about life and self-care from two different angles. It's really interesting to me.
Like obviously you have Dogday and Catnap, with their sun/moon, dog/cat dichotomy, that stress how important it is to have fun and get things done during the day, but also that it's important to wind down, relax, and get a good night's sleep.

Bubba Bubbaphant and Craftycorn were introduced as a duo in the Smiling Critter show's intro, and their dichotomy is quite obvious. They are basically the right and left sides of the brain personified. Bubba is the left side of the brain, logical, analytical, focused on math and science. Craftycorn is the right side of the brain, creative and imaginative, focused on the arts and self-expression. They represent learning and academia in all its forms, the different ways people engage with and understand the world.

Hoppy Hopscotch and Kickin' Chicken form the sportsmanship duo. They are both portrayed as enjoying sports and the outdoors, but in different ways that highlight the different ways sports can be played and enjoyed and also what it entails to be successful at them. Hoppy Hopscotch may be loud and impatient, but she is also a team player, shown in her willingness to slow down her fast pace to make sure none of her friends are left behind. Kickin' Chicken, on the other hand, is laid-back, relaxed, and chill, the described "cool kid" of the group, but he's also described as having a ton of perseverance, more of a "slow and steady wins the race" type of person.
-
This leaves Bobby Bearhug and Picky Piggy as the last pair. Fittingly, these two are all about how to meet the fundamental needs of yourself and others. Bobby teaches children how to nourish themselves emotionally through showing and receiving care from others, while Picky teaches them how good food is important to nourish the body and soul. Depriving oneself of either of these things only makes oneself and therefore everyone around one miserable, because those fundamental needs are no longer being met.
-
Like fr, this is some pretty genius marketing right here. You have enough characters that every kid will have their favorite, but not so many that any would get lost in the shuffle, because the lessons each one of them would teach would be integral to the group as a whole. It really makes me that much sadder we saw basically nothing of the Smiling Critters during the game itself, because Mob Games struck gold with this concept, only to ultimately do nothing with it. :/
But I guess that's what fandom is for, eh?

Krunch & Pipsy from Diddy Kong Racing. I like the fan idea that they're a couple, or at least buddies.
Wanna see the last time I drew Krunch?
I was 8 years old. My grandma had this hanging on her wall for over 20 years.

And now, here they are!
The most daredevil group of indie game characters to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Indie Races! Competing for the title of world's wackiest racer!
The cars are approaching to the starting line...
First is the Turbo Ocean, driven by Octodad.
Next is Shovel Knight and The Knight in the Shield Wagon.
Maneuvering for position is the Pizza Surplus Special.
Right behind is the Angry Birds, in their Egg-Bird Bomb.
And here's ingenious inventor, Engineer in his Convert-a-Sentry.
Oh and here's the lovely Ms. Chalice, the glamour gal of the gas pedal.
Next we have the Dynamite Mobile with the dynamite duos, Anton and Annie.
Lurching along is the Creepy Spook with Spooky and Golden Freddy.
And right on their tail is Annalynn.
And here's the Celeste Mt. Chugga-Bug with Theo and Madeline.
Sneaking along the last is the Bone Machine with those double dealing do-badders, Papyrus and Sans.
And even now they're up some dirty trick, and they're off! ....To a standing start. And why not? They're been chained to a post by shifty Papyrus, who shifts into the wrong gear.
And awaaayyyy they go! On a way-out, Wacky Indie Races!
(edit 10/24/23: my dumbass thought if tf2 was an indie game so i believe it is not if im corrected, but oh well lol)
