Darth Vader.

But no seriously both are probably the top, but I think Mickey Mouse just about edges it.

Under 40: I'd say about equal

Over 40: Mickey by a considerable amount



Mickey.

Older generations know Mickey. They don't know Mario.
Children and toddlers know Mickey. They don't know Mario too, since they don't play Nintendo any more. There's Mickey on their tablets. There's no Mario there.

Everyone knows Mickey.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?


Everyone who remotely knows of Disney knows Mickey Mouse. Not everyone knows Mario especially older generations.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Mickey is more of an icon and equivalent with Disney as a brand. I'd say Mario stands out more as a character.

It's just a generational thing, under 40 years old ... Mario is equal to Mickey, maybe even higher to be honest. Mickey Mouse hasn't been in anything relevant for a long, long time.

Mario wasn't invented in the 50s/60s/70s so kinda unfair for him to be as relevant to that generation.



Probably Mickey, as pretty much every kid for the last X amount of years, has grown up with him, one way or another.



Probably not, but I can say that Mario is more active than Mickey so it's going to take a while for Mario to eclipse him, it's not a matter of if, but when.

I really don't think that's accurate for any kid born after 1977 or so in the developed world. 

Mickey Mouse is largely irrelevant to today's kids, what's the last movie he was in? The characters of Frozen or Toy Story are probably more popular than Mickey Mouse with today's kids. 



think about it like this, if you think "Nintendo" you know that Mario is a part of it. but for me, when I think "Disney" i dont think of Mickey Mouse. maybe its because Mickey doesnt do anything anymore
