There was a survey in the early 90s that found that children under the age of 10 could more easily identify Mario then Mickey Mouse. I can't at the moment find the source for this... its referenced in the Mario Wikipedia page but the link is dead. I'll see if I can find it some where.

I believe it, especially at the time. Mario is super merchandised, you see Mario pajamas and toys and back packs and bed sheets everywhere, and in the early 90s it was worse, with the TV show and movies and everything. You don't need to play games to know him. Remeber though, even if you are not a Nintendo gamer, chances are you've atleast ahd a Nintendo hand held (possibly with Mario or Mario Kart) at some point in your life.


I think you should of posted this here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=148496&page=11#8

LOL!  Thats what I get for having multiple tabs open.   Damn it, now I feel like I have to actually conribute something to this thread.  So I'm going to say D21Lewis or Rolstoppable.
