I certainly don't agree with Gianna Sisters, who were really only well known in Europe and were little more than a carbon copy of Super Mario. I agree that the Mr. Traveller is another good representative of the indie scene, but I doubt he's as recognizable as Tim from Braid. I mostly said Braid, though, as it is generally cited as the launching point of the modern indie scene, regardless of how true that is. Obviously there's always been an indie scene dating back to the days of Atari (it's a big part of what caused the industry to collapse in the early 80's), but it was following Braid that the scene really exploded.

Cave Story is far more recognizable. Why it's re-released every generation and remade and always high demand for it no matter how many times it's ported. Braid is Mario Bros with Blinx.

I'd love to see a poll among casual gamers to see which is more recognized... I wouldn't be surprised if it's regional, with Japan being more familiar with Cave Story and NA being familiar with Braid.
Either way, your post reminded me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc26EKhZNyM
