videogame cartoons that didn't really need to exist

While many videogame-based movies turn out to be total crap, television has been blessed over the years with several very awesome cartoon adaptations of video game stories. Wikipedia lists quite a few. After all, what child of the 80's didn't love Dr. Robotnik on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or the incredibly annoying Link on Legend of Zelda? Still, there had to be a few misses out there, and 1Up.com has a fun feature detailing 5 of them. The description of BattleToads is especially hilarious:
Of all of these, Battletoads probably stays closest to its subject material. I'm going to chalk that up to the fact that Battletoads was already just about the stupidest thing imaginable.

In my personal opinion I think:

1. Legend of Zelda
2. Mario Brothers
3. Adventures of Sonic
4. Captain N (I really didn't like that show).
5. Megaman Network Battle (It ruined the classic Megaman).
