Have you ever wondered why some video game characters wear trousers and others don't? Or pondered the connection between a character's toned, muscular derriere and their level of dexterity? What about the depth of a crack, the jiggle of a cheek? When it comes to video game character designs, one of the most overlooked aspects is the buttocks.
Sure, we might appreciate a nice toned butt on a character or giggle at GIFs of farts from time to time, but how often do we stop to really think about the meaning of the butt?
In Things I Learned from Mario's Butt, video game critic Laura Kate Dale brings backsides to the foreground, analysing dozens of posteriors and asking the important questions: Has Mario let himself go? Do Link's small buttocks hold him back? When he dies, is Pac-Man eaten by his own caboose?
Featuring interviews with game developers and guest butt reviews from gaming favourites such as Stephanie Sterling, Stuart Ashen, Brentalfloss and more, this book is a deep dive into why butts are downright integral to the games we play.
So, crack it open and have a cheeky look inside at some of the most interesting bottoms the world of video games has to offer.
