Nothing says "stuffed shirts trying to act cool" like the name Alex Kidd. But, he's not even a failed attempt at being cool. The California Raisins or Alf or Poochie, the rapping dog from The Itchy and Scratchy show were supposed to be cool, not Alex. Look at Poochie... his baseball cap backwards, sunglasses on, flashing some sort of gang signs while driving in his convertible. That's trying too hard to be cool... No... Alex was... well... just look at the little sucker.
What is he even supposed to be? An Elf? A rat? Some sort of space monkey? And look at those sideburns... They're hanging down past his chin, that's pretty darn impressive, actually. This thing was supposed to be Sega's mascot before Sonic the Hedgehog. Really makes you wonder why they decided to come up with a new one, doesn't it? I have no idea if any of the games he was in are any good, or if they were any good at the time, but I don't want to find out... Look at the guy. He's just begging for a mercy killing. I hope that big blue bear with the purple stubble and green hair puts him out of his misery.
You have to feel sorry for any Japanese kids stuck playing this
Is this Alex Kidd's father?

I think he might be a hasidic jew. At least that would explain his sideburns...
But I'm starting to doubt it.
If he were Hasidic, he'd have a curl going on.
