Mario
I'm sorry, but saying pitfall is very similar to Mario doesn't compute for me.  Mario plays and controls quite differently. If you break them down to their primitive play mechanics you can make the relation, but Mario offered so much more originality in environment design, sound design and control to the gaming world.

I've no real interest in this pointless debate but I noticed this because it's a common misconception that people always try to claim. Pitfall may well have some similarites to Mario games, but unfortunately, Mario games didn't begin with Super Mario Bros.

Mario's first appearance was in Donkey Kong in 1981. Pitfall was released in 1982.
