"but the fact still remains that you are not seeing Ryu or Iori outside of the fighting genre"

Ryu: Namco X Capcom, a strategy RPG, and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, genre stated in the title.

Again, you aren't doing your research. You are just making assumptions about Mario being a special case, which is wrong, and that there is some rule about sticking in your own genre, which Mario is supposedly breaking.

Forgot about Super Puzzle Fighter II.

It's not that I'm not doing my research, it's just that Mario has been in more various games than any game character out there; even Mario has a pinball game on the DS. Yes, Namco X Capcom and that list with Chocobo games that you provided show characters outside their realm, but they stayed in Japan, unlike for Mario.

And I'll mention another game with cross-game appeal, Ehrgeiz.
