A little off topic, but if you’re interested in recs for other games from that era, I highly recommend the early PS2 title Dark Cloud. It’s not exactly a mascot game like the ones you named, but it’s kinda close; the biggest comparison it had at the time of release was the Zelda series.

But it does have such amazing characters as thirst trap (age appropriate), thirst trap (age inappropriate), fat kid, your friendly neighborhood drug dealer, Actual Racism^tm^ and you play as the jock theater kid.
Absolutely amazing game and I’ve been playing and replaying it since it came out, would recommend.

Dark Cloud was my PS2 launch game I bought. I have fond memories, but hated the weapon durability mechanic. I gotta replay it to find these characters you’re talking about.
I remember loving Dark Cloud 2 and taking pictures of absolutely anything and everything trying to find recipes for powerful items.

Weapon durability is frustrating, but it ties into what I think is so awesome about Dark Cloud. That being that its RPG mechanics are based not around your character but around your weapons. With upgrading the weapons’ different stats, doing a status break, and building them up into completely new weapons. It’s really unique and I think it’s a shame that I’ve never seen it done elsewhere.
