I will say pikachu most definitely.

In offices I have seen people collecting pikachu because they thinks it's cute. They don't play games, and just want something cute and funny on their desk.

A little Mario just wouldn't be the same.

Plus, which one has started in more major motion pictures? That's right pikachu!

There is a difference in being popular and being famous. 

True, but I would say pikachu is more both than Mario.  Mario is more know to people that play games.  pikachu is more universal.

Plus, how many people do you know that can speak Mario?  Myself and many others are fluent in pikachu's language.  And many people it's their only 2nd language.

Translation:

Pika, pika, pika, pik, pikachu!
