Mario is as well known as any other international cultural icon. Doesn't mean there aren't people that don't know him (hell, there are still uncontacted tribes in the world!), but yeah, just about anyone in most countries will know Mario.

Perhaps I'm wrong on this, but wouldn't this guy only be in one main FF game and some spin offs? I'd say that unless you've played a game with him or frequent game forums, you probably have no idea who that guy (girl?) is.
