Snotty Ragsdale

(First Appearance: Boogerman)
During the 90's platform boom, many one-shot characters appeared, each and every one of them had some form of gimmick. Earthworm Jim was a worm in a cybernetic suit, Zool was a lollipop loving ninja ant thing, Sparkster was a jet-pac utilizing, suit of armour wearing Possum knight.

Boogerman flicked snot.

I'm getting through this one at speed as all things phlegm really makes me gag. Boogerman was basically a platform game made to appeal purely on the fact that kids thinking farting is funny (If you just laughed at that line, I don't know what to tell you) Snotty Ragsdale, aka Boogerman, is a mild mannered millionaire who is sucked into *sigh" "Dimension X-Crement" after a machine that will stop the world's pollution goes haywire. Boogerman must escape this dimension, dodging dangers and vanquishing foes along the way via human secretions and bodily noises.

Yes, Boogerman is a platformer where the heroes weapons are snot, phlegm, farts and burps. Ragsdale can also fart himself to high places and rope swing between platforms using long strands of loogie.
That's really all there is to this hero, snot and fart gags. Kids may have found that pant-wettingly funny, but most kids aren't stupid enough to think that these gags warrant supporting Boogerman's antics over those of a better, or more interesting platform negotiating hero.

The sad part is that Boogerman was really well animated and in a time of nobody videogame icons thrown together to make a quick buck, Boogerman actually looked like he hard solid work put into his movement and design. All for nought though, as a unsuccessful release garnered our hacking hero little more than EGM's "Grossest character of 1994" award.
The ultimate death knell sounded when Boogerman cameoed in Clayfighter on the Nintendo 64. Once you appear in a Clayfighter game, you are fucking done.
There was a slight reprieve as Boogerman has been inexplicably ported to the Wii's Virtual Console. Considering the target age of the Wii demograph, that probably isn't too bad an idea.

Boogerman was one of many platform heroes to hit the 16 bit era and ride the Sonic/Mario wave of success, but aside from his admittedly brilliant animation, he left little more than a bad taste in your mouth.
Considering his love of all things yellow and gooey, that's probably all he ever wanted for his public.
