Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. One of the most popular game villains has got to be Bowser, who appears in which of the following series?

Answer: Super Mario

Bowser's goal in these games is to kidnap Princess Peach and keep her for himself. He uses his army of henchmen against Mario and Luigi, attempting to stop their efforts to save the Princess. He uses his henchmen as a living shield. His desire to have Princess Peach stems from his dislike of Mario and the delight he takes in making him suffer over the loss of the beautiful Princess. Is Bowser pure evil? That is just a matter of opinion.
2. If you are battling a character named Ganondorf, which video game are you playing?

Answer: Legend of Zelda

If you are battling a character named Ganondorf or Ganon, you are playing one of the "Legend of Zelda" games. Ganondorf has a different appearance in different games but his intent is the same. He wants to take over the world and capture Princess Zelda. He is one of the most recognizable villains in the world of gaming.
3. What is the name of the villainous witch-like character in the video game "Banjo-Kazooie"?

Answer: Gruntilda

When playing the video game known as "Banjo-Kazooie", you will have the pleasure of battling Gruntilda who is every bit as ugly as her name. She is a lovable villain with a bumbling charm. She appears as green-complexioned, complete with the pointy hat.

Her appearance changes with every game and speaks in rhymes. She is destroyed throughout the series of games in a variety of manners. There are rumors that there may be a game centered around Gruntilda herself. Sounds like fun!
4. Which of the following names belongs to the noted Queen of Blades villain found in the "StarCraft" series of games?

Answer: Sarah Kerrigan

Sarah Kerrigan is a voluptuous villainess that started her life as a human before being infected by the insectoid Zerg race. She is a brilliant tactician with psychic powers. She is often portrayed as a Medusa-like character, both enticing and terrifying and the same time.

In her battle to control the world, she has become more aggressive as the games progressed and new additions were produced. She is considered by many to be one of the most evil villains in gaming history.
5. Which of the following is the name of the unusual looking villain found in the "Metroid" series of games?

Answer: Mother Brain

Many of the villains in this quiz have decidedly humanoid forms. Mother Brain is definitely different in appearance.

Her unusual appearance appears to make her attractive to the gaming audience.
6. Which of the following characters is vicious warlord featured in the "Mortal Kombat" video games?

Answer: Shao Kahn

Depicted as a large Asian warrior, this megalomaniacal villain is one of the most imposing figures in the gaming world. He is considered by many to be one of the most violent figures to be featured in the "Mortal Kombat" series. This is saying a lot, when you figure that this game series is often criticized as being one of the most violent video game series to be made.

In his battle to control the world, he dabbles in black magic and soul sucking, without ever showing fear. This villain has appeared in the "Mortal Kombat" comics, video games, and movies.
7. The main antagonist in the "Mega Man" series of games is Doctor Spock who bears a striking resemblance to Leonard Nimoy's character of the same name.

Answer: False

The main antagonist in the "Mega Man" series is Doctor Wily. With his wild hair and bushy moustache many gamers think he looks like a cartoon depiction of Albert Einstein. Portrayed as a mad scientist who helped create the Mega Man character, he fights his creation at every turn in an attempt to make him evil.

He battles Mega Man with persistence and intelligence only to lose at the end of every game.
8. The Team Rocket organization is a group of villains found in the "Pokémon" series of video games.

Answer: True

"Pokémon" protagonists must fight the villainous organization known as Team Rocket. These characters refuse to catch, train or care for the wild monsters. They only wish to exploit them, in their own selfish quest for power. Team Rocket performs experiments on the adorable creatures in attempts to make them more valuable and powerful.

They are often depicted as somewhat evil teenagers. The "Pokémon" video games are just a part of the complete "Pokémon" industry which includes movies, trading cards, and figurines.
9. With his wild hair and funky moustache, the villainous Doctor Robotnik is featured in which of the following game series?

Answer: Sonic the Hedgehog

Doctor Robotnik is one of those villains with a cartoony appearance that belies his evil desire to control the planet. His bald head, round egg-shaped body and unusual moustache are just part of his persona. Like most characters in any long running video game series, he is depicted differently as time passes and new games are added to the series.

Some of his unusual tricks in battling Sonic the Hedgehog involve turning him into a Werehog, or blowing up planes, his high intellect is always featured. No matter how many times Sonic beats him, he keeps coming back for more.

There are some gamers who find him to be one of the more lovable villains in the world of gaming.
10. Found in the video game series "Bioshock", how is the villain Andrew Ryan depicted?

Answer: As a human business man in a suit.

Andrew Ryan appears in the "Bioshock" games as a suave 1940's business man wearing a suit and tie. His desire to build and underwater city fails and leads this misguided idealist into the depths of insanity. This game features science and human experimentation.

It also has political overtones and Andrew Ryan is believed to be the epitome of what can happen when insanity couples with power and wealth. The game is about the quest for utopia and what humans might do to achieve these ideals.
