bobble
A furry ball attached on top of a hat.
Seen in the wild
And a bobble head is also possible
This and Bubble Bobble (specifically the C64 ports) were probably my first favourite games.
A video so you can see the springy bobble open jaw in action (and also just what fun goober energy this thing has in motion omg)
Buggy Boy is top for me, just shading it above Bubble Bobble… looks and plays great and to my 14yo eyes was essentially arcade perfect 😎
The new bobble head exhibit is really cool
