The Most Iconic Video Game Characters of All Time

Mario

You know him, you love him, Mario is easily the most recognizable video game character of all time. 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.
