Blupi

Created by Swiss developer Epsitec, Blupi (alternatively known as Eggbert) is the titular star of a series of games released through the 90s and early 2000s over a surprisingly wide variety of genres (which are all freeware these days, wink-wink nudge-nudge lookitup), ranging from platformers to puzzle games to an RTS and even an educational game or two! While fairly obscure in general, one title in particular, Speedy Eggbert, managed to become a bit of a cult classic, seeing Blupi navigate 2D side-scrolling levels littered with dangerous obstacles as he searches for enough treasure chests to open the goal. It's been a while since his last outing, but this little round yellow fellow has arrived on the scene in SRB2Kart, ready to add the gold medal to his treasure hoard!

• STATS: 6 Speed, 6 Weight

Blupi enjoys slightly above-average stats all around; his big round body buffs out his weight so he's not the easiest to push around, and he's already pretty comfortable behind the wheel from his home games so he's no slouch in the speed department, either. This is my very first character mod and I haven't got a lot of experience making pixel art, so his sprites are a bit wonky (especially on the arms and diagonal frames), but I don't think he's too shabby for a first effort!

Voice clips are ported from Speedy Eggbert.
