not what i had in mind, but it does count!
The Bird Receptionist is on the Cover of A Hat In Time, even though he only appears in the beginning of Chapter 2.
The cover of Salt And Sanctuary has the Sodden Knight on it, literally just the first boss.
Toxic is on the cover of Lethal League Blaze even though she doesn't even appear in the story mode, only multiplayer.

Yoshi on the cover of Super Mario RPG… he’s just there for a minigame pretty much!
Pikmin 2 - The North American art shows Olimar fighting a Hermit Crawmad, a random enemy that isn't especially common (unlike the Bolborb of Pikmin 1, which is).
Pokemon Stadium 2 - Ho-oh and Lugia are on the cover, but cannot be unlocked as Rental Pokemon.
Fate/Grand Order - Darius II is at the top of the cover and one of the most irrelevant Servants in the entire game.

sho minamimoto neo twewy
Green robot guy megaman x
nep-enut from yoshi's island. On the front cover but only appears in like one maybe two levels
shenmue 1, shenhua is hardly even in it
Final Fantasy XIII-2 has Lightning on the cover even though she's barely in it.
And I think the guy on the cover of Phalanx for the SNES isn't even in the game at all.

Fire Emblem Awakening's cover actually turns this idea into a joke by having kellam, a character with no mandatory scenes in the game and who's character is that he's of so little importance that everyone always forgets he's there, on the box art, but he is in the background and his face is obscured either by Lucina's sword or chrom's knee or sometimes even the game's title depending on which box art you're looking at. Every other character on the box art has at least one mandatory scene.
I guess you could argue that Snake being on the cover of MGS2 came down to 1. Selling units, 2. Pulling off the con of making players think Snake was the protagonist. The bait and switch wouldn't work if they put Raiden by himself on the front cover.
Earthbounds cover art is just a variant of the starman that only appears in one area and then never again
ai the somnium files features chinpei, dokuta and amame on the cover, all of which are very minor characters (dokuta is pretty important though, but his involvement is mostly implied)
