..........SUPER MARIO

Super Mario has battled his way through numerous obstacles in his 20+ years of gaming. He influenced 2D and 3D gaming, laying a path for other games to follow. From his early life on the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Wii, his fan base has noticeably grown. Through the years of evolution and revolution one fundamental concept has remained the same-FUN! Mario is not just for kids, old people, nerds, geeks, or gaming freaks-it's for everyone. That's something that till this day will remain true. He is the face of gaming and has proven to climb his way to global icon recognition on par with Mickey Mouse. With his "OMG" global software sales and his wide audience appeal, he is without a doubt the king of video games.

**Please not that while some games don't have "Mario" specifically in the tittle, they are related to his world or without his playability wouldn't have those types of sales**

BTW: "OMG those are some Mario hungry gamers!"

nah its halo :P

Stellar Stone LLC js the best game developer known to mankind.

I see you used 21 games there. Mario has been used for 21 games this gen... Lol.

Anyway, top 21 games of Wii Series on Wii alone = ~190 Million

Wii Series > Mario.

Wii Sports =/Wii series

There's no such thing as a "Wii series" as much as there is a "64 series", or "Super" series..

Also.. I love you're making fun of how many times Mario is used, considering most if not all of those games are pretty damn good. Super Mario Kart is my favorite, out of the "Super" series.

Eccentric, huh? 21 and yet still counting, smg2 and more to follow. XD but wii series isn't an animal, or human.

Yes there is, i can show you it if you want. Wii is the king. Not Mario. Hell, Mario even needed to steal "Wii" for his own game... THATS how good Wii is.

And i'm not making fun of Mario. I'm making fun of Nintendo.

Wii Series doesn't need to be an animal or human. It is a "thing", so it counts.

Wii > Mario.

regardless Mario is king this generation and as a whole hes most definitively king. Though Pokemon is on the creep creep lol. Though i don't think they will ever surpass Mario nor do they deserve to. they don't innovate.

How has Mario innovated this gen?

Oh, and if i wanted to get really technical, i would just say this...

Shigeru Miyamoto > Mario.
