A video game mascot is usually a specific video game character that is a trademark of a video game company brand and is actively used to promote the company or its products, a symbol of the company, as a "face" or representative in promotional materials. Usually, mascots are from platform games, but there are exceptions. They may not necessarily appear in any games.
