King Dedede.  Victor Sullivan.  Leonardo da Vinci.  Tooie.  These are all second-string sidekick characters from famous video games that deserve a chance to steal the spotlight and break out into lead protagonist stardom.  On this episode of Power Button, Blake Grundman and I discuss our favorite sidekicks, villains, and supporting characters that we'd like to see take center stage in adventures of their own.  Some sidekicks are lucky and are promoted up to central star, but for every Luigi or Zero there's a Dr. Wily or Captain Qwark waiting in the wings.  Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, find us on Stitcher, subscribe via iTunes, toss this RSS feed into your podcast aggregation software of choice, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
