^Screenshots of B.B. Hood. Click on the images of this article to enlarge them^ B.B Hood was introduced to the Darkstalkers fighting game series as the first complete human. While her fighting style is very unique and mostly based on all kinds of weapons she seems to be one of the most unpopular Darkstalkers characters. Beside her main role as a fighting game character she made also an appeareance in the Arcade and Dreamcast shooter Cannon Spike as a hidden character. Her visual design seems to resemble the fairy tale character “Little Red Riding Hood”. In the Darkstalkers games she is a special agent, her real name is unknown.

Darkstalkers 3 (1997) Capcom’s Darkstalkers fighting game series was mainly about horror and myth characters like Vampires and Werewolves or Frankenstein’s Monster, but in Darkstalkers 3, the character designer Yoshiki Okamoto wanted to have a character in Darkstalkers 3 which would be a monster like the other characters as well, but be a human and look innocent and cute. In the game she is always accompanied by her pet dog Harry who is not involved in the attacks though.
He designed Baby Bonnie Hood, known as Bulleta in Japan. A character who looks like a young girl on her way to bring her grandma some fresh bread and wine…who would know that this girl is instead a “Dark Hunter” with a heart so dark that the boss of Darkstalkers 3, Jedah would pull her into the “Majigen” the alternate place where the Darkstalkers reside. Instead of feeling scared of being surrounded by the Darkstalkers, she sees it as a opportunity and a “big job” and wants to fight and hunt all the Darkstalkers including Jedah Dohma himself. While the most of the Darkstalkers characters use their bodies as weapon, B.B. Hood uses all kinds of weapons ranging from Uzi guns, Landmines, Bombs, Grenades, and even a Rocketlauncher ..in one of her super specials she is getting help from two other “Darkhunters” with the names John and Arthur.

Baby Bonnie Hood is one of the playable characters in the arcade shooting game Cannon Spike released once for the Sega Dreamcast. To select her, the player has to move the cursor right from on the player select screen. In Cannon Spike, the characters don’t have real background stories (as far as i know) but they have endings at least, B.B.Hood has at least 2, her own one and another one if she teams up with Cammy White via the two player mode.
Below you can see some of the images of her ending: |

B.B. Hood is a unlockable character in both games, and while she has no back story in MVC2 (like just all characters) SNK added a fun background to BBH in SNKvsCapcom MotM which ends with her getting saved by Yuri Sakazaki from Art of Fighting / KOF. In MVC2 a lot of her attacks got additional explosions, in SNKvsCapcom her fighting moveset is almost the same as in Darkstalkers 3. Baby Bonnie Hood was featured in all the Card Fighting Games by SNK and Capcom through cards as well and she had cameo appearances in Capcom Fighting Jam or Marvel vs Capcom 3 but was not playable again in any newer game yet |

Baby Bonnie Hood is one of the least drawn Darkstalkers characters, but compared to many other game characters she is still getting a lot attention through drawn art as well as through cospplayers around the world! As usual i try to show and feature some of the maybe best illustrations of her here on Game-Art-HQ in cooperation with the artists behind these works. |

What Gamers like you and me think about Baby Bonnie Hood the evil girl from the Darkstalkers games:
First time i played a Darkstalkers game was Vampire Saviour EX Edition, more known as Darkstalkers 3 for the Playstation. I was amazed by its beautiful 2D graphics, the very colorful cast of characters and their often screen filling attacks.
Baby Bonnie Hood stood out in this cast as being the only characters looking like a normal human..like a small innocent girl even but than you press the buttons and she suddenly starts to use guns, grenades, bombs, and even a missile launcher ..gets support of some bug guys, shooting everything they have at B.B Hood’s enemy and make her one of the funniest characters in the whole Darkstalkers series.
Her being an evil version of little red hood was a genius design and it would be a damn shame if she would not appear in a new Darkstalkers game…if we ever see one. During creating this article here, i saw that she is one of the least drawn Darkstalkers and it was not easy to gather some of the maybe best examples of fan art about here together for Game-Art-HQ. Hope this changes a bit when we have a Darkstalkers related art project sooner or later here! B.B.Hood is awesome!
Review / Opinion by the GA-HQ Admin Reinhold “GBK” Hoffmann
‘Ah, Baby Bonnie Hood. To wit, she is the counter to John Talbain in concept and in gameplay. Any button-mashing idiot that tries to out-speed her, when she’s controlled by even a moderately skilled player, is bound to face a quick defeat.
I know, I’ve tried… ^_^; What she is is a tactical character, manipulating a mix of traps, quick hits and even built in fake-outs to catch an opponent off-gaurd. Alternatively, I’ve seen her played defensively, which is also a spectacular sight. Plus, the themr of her is hilarious. Certainly, no one expects that special of hers the first time they play against BB Hood. Or with her, for that matter. She’s not in enough games, in my opinion; she would have felt right at home in Tatsunoko, for example. Her and Anakaris. They’re just too awesome.’
