---FINAL FIVE---
no. 5: Satan - ANTONBLAST!
As we blow past the Top Ten and into the homestretch with the Final Five, I felt it only appropriate that King Dice place just under Satan. He may not be the same devil from Cuphead, but he's a devil nonetheless!Antonblast is a game that I didn't expect to like as much as I did, but in under a year's time it's blown up to a top spot for me. So much so that I knew I had to give it some kind of representation and really, how could I not? While Cuphead is great, Antonblast is more personally attuned to my sensibilities.
The game is effectively 'what if King K. Rool, Gruntilda, and Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog's Robotnik fused together, but were portrayed by the Red Guy from Cow & Chicken who is screwing with day drinking versions of Beetlejuice and Beavis all in the setting of a Wario Land game!' Really, what's not to love? Normally a character that is little more than a glorified shitpost probably wouldn't have made it so far into a countdown, but when you essentially just shoved a lot of things I love all into one package and I, as a mere human, have to allow my bias to shine!
That said, while I enjoy Antonblast a lot it still plays second fiddle to a lot of other games for me. It's great, but falls a little short in some regards. Not enough to damn it, but it'll always be right behind games that I would call my all time favorites, so 5th place was the highest I could grant it. After all, while Satan may pay homage to some of my favorite villains, he'll never be the real deal and so he must take last place among the tops and for a guy who simply wants to be the reddest thing in the universe, I think that makes sense.

The man, the myth, the legend
Love how he's basically a fusion of The Red Guy and Robotnik voiced by the funny goon guy

ANTONBLAST! just came out late last year. It was delayed a few times and it's development was made alongside Pizza Tower. It also has a fairly similar style and inspiration (Wario Land) and as both creators know each other, ANTONBLAST! is kinda considered Pizza Tower's contemporary. I generally say that 'if Pizza Tower and ANTONBLAST! are cars, Pizza Tower's an automatic and ANTONBLAST! is a manual." It's got a similar vibe, but also very different, but I would say if you liked Pizza Toweer, you'll enjoy ANTONBLAST!
I loved this version of the devil ever since I've saw gameplays of Antonblast! There was one scene where Satan meets Annie, and I thought it would be perfect to share this interaction on what happens if Toshineko meets Satan instead. It goes like this:
Satan: "Oh, hello, red gu- Huh? Who are you?"
Toshineko: "Name's Toshineko Hirozaki. So you're Satan, huh? You look a bit... pink for a devil."
Satan: "That doesn't matter. Can you bring out the red guy instead?"
Toshineko: "Well, that's a pretty vague description you're giving there, devil. You've kind of described every single person on earth. Why do you want to talk to him anyway?"
Satan: "Well, frankly, my tiny friend, it's none of your business."
Toshineko: *makes a fake gasp* "Really? But I thought I was the CEO of 'Your Business' Incorporated! Perhaps I can get a refund on all the unsolicited wisdom I've given?"
Satan: "Oh SHUT UP! I don't have time for this!" *runs off*
Toshineko: *makes a smug smile*
