The Most Iconic Video Game Characters of All Time

Mario

Although his origin story started in a little game called Donkey Kong, which released in 1981, Mario didn't earn a traditional title (we are excluding Mario's Cement Factory and Mario's Bombs Away for the Game & Watch) until 1983. Super Mario Bros. is genuinely the most important video game to ever exist, period.
