In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Wow! An even more niche top ten than mine. I'm a massive Nin fan but i don't even recall a few of them!

Luigi is #1 for me. As a little brother, I often experienced Super Mario Bros. as Player 2. I probably would have identified with him anyways since at that time I liked going against the grain, so if most kids wanted to be Mario, I wanted to be Luigi.  When they gave him a more distinctive personality, particularly that of a fraidy-cat, I was initially concerned because I didn't like the idea of him appearing inferior to Mario.  But it grew on me, and eventually I fully grasped the appeal of a more reluctant and obviously flawed hero versus the more traditional, steadfast, unquestioning good guy Mario.  It works.

Mario's my favorite franchise by a long shot so the other main characters are my next favorites--Mario, Peach, Bowser. I keep waiting for Wario and Waluigi to play a bigger role in the main series. From the various spinoffs, Vivian's my favorite.

I liked Wonder-Red and Wonder-Pink. Too bad we'll probably never see them again. Love Callie and Marie, always look forward to their intros when firing up that game. There are a lot of character designs in Animal Crossing that I love, but the only amiibo I bought was Blathers so I guess that indicates my favorite. I only have played two Wario games but Ashley and 9-Volt seem cool.

That's already 14, so I guess I should stop. I could rattle off plenty more but the order is always going to be Luigi at the top with everyone else changing on whatever whims I have at the time.

Lots of nice lists here! Maybe i should have a tot-up. Would be interesting to see the majority top 4 or 5. I think Samus would probably win overall tho.

Some of these seem pretty arbitrary and random:

Vivian - (Paper Mario: TTYD)
Pikmin
Koopa Paratroopa - (Love came from Mario Kart: Double Dash)
Lucas - (Mother 3)
Dixie Kong - (DKC Series)
Midna - (Zelda Twilight Princess)
Lemmy Koopa (Mario Series)
Dimentio (Super Paper Mario)
Count Bleck (Super Paper Mario)
Tippi (Super Paper Mario)

I probably missed stuff, and this isn't in any particular order and there are different reasons for each one.



I liked paratroopa because of MKDD too!

It even has a ton of nostalgia attached to it.

One of my first gaming memories, the first time I won a Mario Kart race ever was with Koopa Troopa and Koopa Paratroopa. I guess Paratroopa stuck out more because it had wings. It became my main in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Golf, and would always be on my team in Mario Baseball.

When I was a kid I also made ton of drawings of it.
