Your anecdotal evidence proves that Mario is more recognized?   Both my parents have no clue who Mario is,  My mother owns a Wii and bought me my original NES and she still doesnt know who he is.  But both my parents know who Pac-Man is.   Soo there you go my anecdotal evidence is much better proof because i say so.........     

Or I could use proof of what i say.

If it was so easy to google all that, how come it was so tough to google most recognized video game character?  

There is your proof.  a simple search found it with ease.   You probbaly did find it but you didnt want to post it to prove yourself wrong.    

I did look that up FYI. I also saw two problems with the data.  #1 it said AMERICAN CONSUMERS. #2 the difference was 1%, and there's ALWAYS a margin of error. 

Oh, and my anecdote was not meant to be proof, idiot. It was simply to serve the point that pacman isn't as big as you're making it. My internet is down so I can't reply to you fully right now. 

No need for petty insults. 

I do understand there is a margin of error,  but it goes both ways.  If the margin of error is 3%, which is probably normal, sure Mario could be ahead by 2 %, but he could also be behind 4%.   So margin of error means nothing really.
