Who is the Most famous video game character

It's hard to say since this is a very general question, but in general, the most famous gaming character that most people would know is probably Mario. This is most likely because of the history to Mario, so all generations from at least the baby boomer generation can relate to him. For example (in the 1980's) , if a Parent's child had a nintendo, the parent would probably have bought him at the very least, Mario. Bros., as it was very popular. In the 1990's, Mario's popularity had increased, with games like Dr. Mario (Gameboy), Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64), and Mario Party (Nintendo 64). Today, Mario popularity has skyrocketed, with games like Mario Kart (Nintendo Wii) and Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo Wii). With generations from baby boomer to today, Mario is a character in which those generations can relate to in some way, which is why I would say that Mario is probably the most famous gaming character in general.
