Is there an earlier example of a mount for a playable character that was upgraded to a playable character in its own right in a later game?

Shiggy was totally stealing the idea from Joust. The same game he already stole from to make Mario Bros. in the first place.

I would have thought maybe there was a standalone playable Louie in some Bomberman game, but I just looked over a wiki page on Louies and didn't see anything like that.
>>
>>12050880
Oh and I just noticed that OP was asking for an EARLIER example, wow that's even harder.
>>
>>12050560
Depends on how we're defining earlier. The chocobo first appeared in 1988 vs Super Mario World (1990). So the yellow bird is the earlier mount-for-playable-character. Chocobo Mystery Dungeon released two days after Yoshi's Story in Japan (December 1997), so Yoshi was first to become a playable character of the two.

What, so you can make a youtube essay on how REVOLUTIONNARY Nintendo was for doing [incredibly specific thing that nobody else ever cared for that wasn't influencial in the slightest] ?

You'll fit right in with the OoT fanboys.

You sound really upset over an imaginary scenario you created to antagonize yourself.

Shiggy has said he always wanted Mario to ride a horse since Super Mario Bros, this was him basically finally getting what he wanted. I doubt Joust had much to do with it.
