I know I usually do top tens, but there are so few tickling scenes in video games and most of them aren't all that good, in my opinion. So here now is the list of the top five best and worst tickle scenes in video games. (Note: This is only my opinion. You may agree or disagree as you wish).

First off:

Worst

5: Tickle mini game (Wario Ware Touched)
There is one mini game where there are two men holding a string or rubber band between them. The objective is to tickle the one who raises their arm and make them let go. It's not that great, in my opinion, but it's better than the others on the worst list.

4: Clawfoot interrogation (Sly Cooper 2)
During the level where the Cooper Gang have to infiltrate The Countessa's castle, Murray has one mission where he needs to kidnap the elderly General Clawfoot. Once the mission is complete, Bently steps out of their hideout with a feather and interrogates General Clawfoot. Not great, but it is there.

3: Mr. Tickler out of luck (Sonic Rush 2) (I think)
Marine is caught by the pirate Robotnik person and, true to standard cartoon villainy, threatens her with tickle torture by Mr. Tickler. It had all the ear marks of a possibly good scene: Evil villain, threatened tickle torture, fear and pleading from the potential victim. However, it never happens. Sonic rescues her before she faces this Mr. Tickler thing. Couldn't he have taken his time...just this once?

2: Tickle Torture? (Super Mario Rpg)
One of the more well known, but also one of the worst tickle scenes in games. The problem here is all the player knows is what they're told or can read, and from what we're told, the imposter toadstool people are tickling the leader of the town: An old toad......Why not Peach? Not only that, the player can't see or hear or even read much of a reaction. Only one scene is worse and that is....

1: Tickle Attack (Pokemon)
A tickling attack on pokemon should have been cute. But how did they choose to represent it? A few squiggly lines....Honestly!? I mean, they could have just had a flurry of feathers fall, had a pair of little hands making a tickling motion or at very least some kind of cry that indicates laughter, but just squiggly lines!? Lame. And it's even worse in Pokemon Coliseum.


Now that we got those out of the way:

Best

5: Girl tickles Sprite (Secret of Mana)
After you defeat the werewolves harassing the female character of the party in the woods, you have to talk to her to get her to join your team. If you talk to her with the sprite, she'll comment how cute it is and tickles it. The sprite, in turn, will ask the young man to get her to stop. Cute scene.

4: Lady Sia
A game on GBA that I never played myself, but I did see a video clip one time. While the main female character is going through a level based in an enemy camp, there are these gorilla like monsters that attack her as she goes. If she's caught by them, they hold her and drain her hp. Looking at the animations between the two of them, it looks like she's being tickled. (This is going by memory, mind you)

3: Tickle stick (Rumble Roses)
Yet another game I haven't played, not being fond of wrestling games. However, I did see a clip on youtube. There is a weapon, that is pretty much a hand on a stick, called the tickle stick. One of the lady wrestlers in the game can use this weapon on her opponent, invoking a cute, ticklish reaction.

2: Crow's Feather (Psychonauts)
While the item itself holds no great importance in the game, the crow's feather does have a certain entertainment value. Raz can use the feather to tickle any of the npc characters in the game. The laughs are, for the most part, great, but there is no other reaction from the victims. For this reason, it falls just short of #1. Quantity isn't always better than quality.

1: Ticklish Sunflower (Conker's Bad Fur Day)
On the farm, Conker encounters a well endowed sunflower who won't even speak to him because his tail is too tickly and a bum of a king bee who wants to “get to know her better”. So what should a squirrel do in such a situation? Employ a couple swarm of tickly bees, of course. This particular scene is number 1 on the list for many reasons: First: The sunflower's laugh is simply gorgeous. Second: Not only does the sunflower get tickled, but so does Conker. Third: The reactions to their being tickled was pretty amusing. And finally, as long as Conker doesn't bring the last swarm, the tickle scene lasts as long as the player wants it.
