I'd say Mario hands down. Love him, hate him, you know it's true.

Just for future reference, polls here are hardly indicative of honest opinion, especially when you don't have to post to vote.

Also when you give us only two options... both of which are wrong. xD

If the choice is between Master Chief and Marcus Fenix, then it's got to be Master Chief.

But both are eclipsed by Mario, Pac-Man, Sonic, and a few others.

The most iconic video game character of all time is easily Mario, nothing else comes close. An icon has to have an instantaneously distinguishable appearance, an easily recognisable voice and a consistent personality. They must be unique, have a memorable name and star in a popular franchise.

Xbox and Playstation only have a single iconic character each whilst Nintendo has a handful with one in particular being easily the most significant iconic video game character of all time. Out of the three video game console manufacturers the most popular icons unarguably are:

Nintendo = Mario. Xbox = Master Chief. Playstation = Kratos.
