I don't understand all this discussion about the game play mechanics or so forth. None of those have anything to do with being a good mascot or making people delight in a character.
He looks like someone crapped out a beanbag. Mario shows up on other games because he is a person. Even if it seems ridiculous, like Street Basketball he can show up as a person. No one wants to have a bag of crap referee a fight or try to dunk on you.
