So, looking at the way this poll is developing, "Other" may well finish 2nd with Mario on less than 50% of the vote. Following the rules, that would cause a run-off, but let's face it, Mario is the clear winner with more votes than "Other", Pokemon, Tomb Raider, and Resident Evil combined (as of rn)
So if there is a run-off, I think so long as Mario maintains over 40%, it should just be for 2nd place
