List of Significant Mario Characters?

[uran10]

Can anyone provide me with a list of significant Mario characters? I'm planning on hosting a Mario elimination game very similar to my Pokemon Starter Elimination game but I'm not as well versed in the Marioverse as the pokemon verse soooo if you have a character you'd like me to put in the elim game (if I get it approved that is) please tell me below. I'm hoping to have a fun filled Mario themed elim game.
