Pikachu is probably more well known than Mario. Any parents would likely know Pikachu but possibly not Mario.

I personally love both characters, but I definitely think Pikachu is more popular.

This would have been a much fairer challenge if you put Mario VS Pikachu.

I'd say Pikachu is more popular than Mario even.

Pikachu. Sonic is currently very small. His only games that have sold well recently are the olympic games and those are selling due to mario, not him. Obviously he is pretty popular. Probably more so than any new character from this gnereation for example. But pikachu is probably second only to mario. While I can list a dozen+ characters more popular than Sonic.

i would say ezio is bigger than sonic now

I don't know. Games like assassin's creed and call of duty are certainly much more popular than sonic ever was, but I would venture to guess most players don't really know the characters. Assassin's creed has an advantage because there aren't too many assassin games out there while there are a ton of military shooters. But I've played assassin's creed I and II and if you show me a picture of ezio I wouldn't be able to guess if he was ezio, or altair from the first assassin's creed. He simply isn't that good of a mascot.

Realistic-looking humans as gaming mascots? I don't know, it just seems wrong.

Pikachu over Sonic. But Sonic fans are more devoted. They're like crazy cult fanatics.
