His first video game appearance was in 1992 for the Game Boy Color. Ever since then, he has been a worldwide phenomenon, earning him a spot on the roster in Smash Bros for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, and has remained one of the founding veterans for Smash ever since. His main gimmick involves devouring the opponent whole and copying their Neutral Special, which has gained him a memetic reputation of a serial killer who pulls the innocent into the bottomless black hole that is his stomach.
