It is safe to assume that a lot more people are aware of who Goomba is because of the sales of the games where he can be found. I never said that Sackboy's lesser popularity has anything to do with my awareness of him, and I'm certain that you know I didn't.

Don't be foolish.

How often is goomba actually reffered to in Mario games by name? Would people be able to pick out Goomba from name alone, I doubt it really. Maybe from a picture people would know its from a Mario game. Wheras with sackboy its immediately obvious what he is from his name, therfore should be more recognizable.   

That doesn't really matter. A character can be extremely popular without even having a name. There are other ways to recognize a character, after all.
