Hey there, fellow Astro Bot explorer! So, you've heard whispers about the 'Forgotten Mascot' in Astro Bot, right? Don't worry, I've got your back. It turns out, this isn't a new character you'll be finding in the main game, but rather a nod to PlayStation's past. This 'Forgotten Mascot' is actually a version of Polygon Man, who was originally intended to be Sony's console mascot. He even showed up in adverts before the PlayStation console was released, but sadly, he was scrapped. Imagine that! Polygon Man did make his grand return, though, as the main antagonist in _PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale_. In that game, you'd face him at the end of Arcade Mode. He'd summon minions and even turn into a stage hazard himself, trying to take you down. After you beat him, he'd grudgingly admit no one had bested him before and give you a piece of his power. So, when you see a version of Polygon Man referred to as the 'Forgotten Mascot' in _Astro Bot_, it's a cool little Easter egg connecting back to that history. It's a neat way the game pays homage to its PlayStation roots. Keep an eye out for these little nods; they're part of what makes exploring these games so much fun!
