Today's subject is proof you can make any mascot work as long as the game is good.
Cool Spot is a 1993 platformer centering around the 7Up spot on the logo, add a pair of shades and bam, character. His mission is to rescue his friends by shooting soda bubbles at enemies while navigating beaches and other popular surf locations.
Oddly the 7Up logo was removed from European release because Fido Dido was still going strong.
Pros
Solid platforming mechanics
Cool Spot's design just works
About the right length
Cons
Offensively 90s
Still a product placement game all said and done.
Verdict
Proof you can make a game work with any design as long as it's reasonably designed
End
