Pitfall Harry is the protagonist from the 2015 game Bloodline. The character was originally conceived by Martin Scorsese, but he had to give up the concept to Hidetaka Miyazaki after losing to him in a game of Super Smash Bros.. This was a massive loss, as Pitfall Harry's inclusion in Bloodline alone resulted in the game selling 10.7 million copies domestically. His writing was highly praised, scoring 11/10s across the board. The only reviewer to not like him was The Angry Video Game Nerd, stating that the character was “a shit-load of fuck!” in his review of the game.
