It's Mario but do you guys remember in the 16bit era there was this hedgehog who bravely fought on the dominance of Mario.. For a moment he also was one of the icons of gaming.. but now he has fallen so deep... it's so sad.. :(

Mario. At one time it was Pacman but that was a long time ago.

Character - Mario, there can be no doubt about this, Pacman and Sonic rivaled him once, but no more

Developer - I say Miyamoto, but I am a Ninty fan, and maybe other gamers see someone as more important

I wouldn't say Miyamoto at all. Don't get me wrong, I am his biggest fan. I would say that Lara Croft or Sonic are the most media friendly characters in the Gaming world so I would say them. If I asked my Grandad who Miyamoto or Link or whatever, he would look at me blankly, but if I said Lara Croft he would recognise that name despite never playing a game in his life.

I dunno, Don't quote me on this.
