Best Sidekicks in Video Games

1-5

These are the best companions!

Lukas Ballat Lukas Ballat

Luigi mario

5. Luigi

It's not easy being the younger brother of one of the most famous video game characters in the world. He is fearful and skittish – nevertheless, in the games, he always overcomes his fears and helps his brother in his adventures. (Image credit: Nintendo)

Sonic and tails

4. Tails

Sonic the Hedgehog benefited from a variety of sidekicks but found long-term happiness with Tails, a fox whose full name is Miles Prower. In the wild, one would expect foxes to have more than a passing interest in hedgehogs, which they usually express by eating them.

That Tails has managed to suppress his appetite and all-natural urges through more than a dozen games, several spin-offs, and an animated TV series suggests that he not only has an extra tail but also exceptional willpower. (Image credit: SEGA)

Jak and Daxter

3. Daxter

Daxter mostly hangs on Jak's shoulder throughout the Jak and Daxter trilogy, so he's not particularly helpful in terms of gameplay but his jokes and amusing personality really help keep the story interesting. Plus, Jak does everything he can to help his best friend return to his normal form. (Image credit: Naughty Dog)

Fable2 dog

2. The dog from Fable II

Who could be a better sidekick than man's best friend? The dog in Fable II tracks down treasures and even fights enemies for you – and the game's ending uses the emotional bond you've built with your dog to force a heartbreaking dilemma on you but we won't spoil more! (Image credit: Lionhead Studios)

Ellie and joel

1. Ellie

The evolution of Joel and Ellie's relationship over the course of The Last of Us remains one of the game's strongest elements. Ellie, born into a post-apocalyptic world populated by deadly creatures called Clickers, has become one of the most famous characters in video games due to her engaging personality and her ability to survive against all odds.

Ellie actively assists Joel in The Last of Us, and in key moments of the story, she becomes a playable character herself. Now that she is older, Ellie takes the center stage in The Last of Us: Part 2 as the main character and is no longer Joel's "sidekick," but does everything she can to seek revenge for his sake. (Image credit: Naughty Dog)

1-5

No hero would go far without a top-notch sidekick to back them up. A good sidekick complements the hero's abilities, provides comic relief, and is unwavering in their loyalty. These video game sidekicks have always been there for us, whether it was getting us from point A to point B or just taking something off our hands while we overcome the challenges. No matter what it was, we're incredibly grateful to them for always standing by our side.

That's why we have the 5 best sidekicks from video games for you!
