Y'know, I often wonder about Master System's Sega All-Stars. I mean Alex Kidd, Ristar and Shinobi are the only Sega Superstars that comes to mind that started out on Master System (Well, Shinobi was originally an arcade game) while most of Nintendo's superstars started on the NES with the other half introduced in SNES.

Makes me wonder who Sega's champions of the Master System.

Makes me wonder who Sega's champions of the Master System.

According to this homebrew game who puts many Master System characters :

- Wang from Kung Fu Kid,
- Steve from My Hero,
- Tom-Tom from Wonder Boy In Monster Land,
- Alex Kid from Alex Kid in Miracle World,
- Opa-Opa from Fantasy Zone,
- Psycho Fox from Psycho Fox,
- Joe Mushashi from Shinobi,
- Mick from Ghost House,
- Doctor Social from Master of Darkness,
- Teddy Boy from Teddy Boy,
- Bin from Dynamite Dux,
- Riki from Black Belt,
- JJ from Zillion,
- Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog

The true champion is probably the boss of the game who's originally from SMS : Alis from Phantasy Star.

I'm not familiar with most of these names. Why didn't these names catch on as efficiently as NES names?

You're right.
Mick or Riki are too generic for names.
Donkey Kong and Kirby are examples of more memorable names.
