Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.— N/A — no named characters
LocoRoco features abstract, genderless blob-like creatures as protagonists and generic, mostly genderless enemies, thus it has no named characters with assigned genders.
