I think all of you who say anything but 'Mario' was the first thing to pop in your head is just being fanboyish. Seriously. Mario games are by far the biggest (and best) platforming games to have ever been created. Spanning over 20 years and is *most* people's first game let alone platforming game. I can't fathom anyone who would think *initially* of anything but Mario when platforming game is first mentioned unless they don't know what the term means. Then to define it, assuredly the person would use Mario. lol.

I'm not trying to sound Nintendo fanboyish, just being realistic on the size and scope of Mario games in our world, even outside of gaming.


I didn't think of any game as the first thing that popped into my head.  I thought of jumping onto ledges :P

And in that picture of jumping onto ledges, I guess I saw a plumber...



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Mario, Little Big Plant, Ratchet and Clank

Sackboy will take over the world! with his sexy, Sony made the right choice picking sackboy as a mascot, for the simple fact sackboy  can be used in any theme and still have it kickass

 

My sackboy looks like Ezio D: if they could just release a Marcus feenix costume i'll be happy, but Microsoft owns gears  :( awww
