This poll is now closed.
Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Urban legend-specific rules: How do I even do rules for this? I guess it CANNOT turn out to be real, it must be an actual urban legend (or at least an unsolved mystery).

I will make exceptions if the legend was NOT real but then the developers made it real (Akuma, Ermac)

NO SONIC.EXE or any of that shit. NO CREEPYPASTA. That's not what I'm talking about here. I'm talking about "Mew Under the Truck" and "Bigfoot in San Andreas." Playground rumors. Fake screenshots. If you want to do Creepypasta Mount Rushmore you can nominate it.

I am NOT going to limit this to one per franchise so if this turns out to be all GTA or all Pokemon that's on me

This is either going to be a lot of fun or a disaster of a Rushmore

YESTERDAY: A very lowkey day which is welcome after the 250+ post Mario topic.

Parasite was tied with Godfather until they both had 8 votes which really surprised me, but I guess it was just the "board vote" because it only got one more vote after that. International cinema is dead.

We have a tie, which could have actually been a much bigger tie as for a while we had a 6-way tie for 2nd that evened out as the topic continued.

29/97 eligible movies received at least 1 vote, a little under 30%.

Most WTF answer: Nomadland. I think it was a joke but it wasn't a good one because FUCK NOMADLAND. At least nobody voted for Green Book.

First two to come to mind were: Triforce in Ocarina of Time and Sonic + Tails in Melee. Will have to think for others.

Edit: Mew under the truck in RBY is a good one.

When this came up Sheng Long was the only thing I immediately thought of. They made two different official characters inspired by him and they actually let you fight him in SF6 if that isn't a guarantee I don't know what it is. If Madden Curse doesn't count replace that with Polybius.
