I was thinking about how some people use Craigslist to find love, another job, or new friends and how funny it would be if some of our favorite game characters did the same. I had a quick look around and found these! I wonder who they could be?

Buxom, upper-class brunette lady looking for a smart, attractive and eligible male.

My hobbies include: scuba diving, archaeology, gymnastics, globetrotting and slaughtering endangered wildlife.  I have been through some tough times over the last 10 years, but I’m back on form again recently and I feel ready to explore again.

Devoted single father with a large build looking for a woman to share my life with.

Interests include swimming, aquatic life, power tools and self-defense.  I share a wonderful property with a few oddball characters that are always arguing but it has a great ocean view.  Love of children is important, because as part of my job I am always looking after them.

I’m a 30-year-old, sunglasses wearing, 6ft tall,  ripped guy.

I’m a big fan of kicking ass and chewing bubblegum (but sometimes I run out of gum). I have a hatred for pigs who dress like police officers and extra terrestrials as a whole. Looking for a woman who doesn’t mind if I start something and never finish.

Chubby Italian plumber, 29 years of age.

I run my own plumbing business with my brother.  Looking for a blonde lady I can treat like a princess.  My old GF was constantly leaving me for the slimy, cold-blooded sort.  Hobbies include go-karting, golf, and basketball. I’m very open minded am willing to try any activity at least once. Please send all correspondence to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Spiky, blue hedgehog looking for a new group of friends to hang out with.

My current group is a bit of a handful.  I’m looking for friends with attitude that won’t run from a fight – I have a bit of a beef with a  morbidly obese egg-shaped man.  I enjoy sports and I’ve recently started racing cars with my workmates.

Abused and exotic yellow-coloured creature looking to be rescued.

My current master is a right bastard and pits me against other animals (well at least until I faint). He fights against anyone who looks at him funny and I’m at my wits end.  I am kept in cramped conditions against my will and only let out when he needs me.  I have an electric personality and just looking for a new owner so I can grow and evolve.

Overworked and underpaid South American currently working for the US government.

I’m looking for a new job because my current workload is too chaotic.  I get to travel all over the world and get to meet some very interesting characters.  Seeking a new career as my co-workers are obnoxious and I don’t think my insurance covers all that my job requires of me. I’m desperate for a new job. I could even do window cleaning too because I’m quite good with heights.
