1. Mario

There is not a soul alive today who could not identify Mario.

Super Mario, the little plumber with the overalls takes the undisputed number 1 spot of the most famous video game character of all time. I don’t think there is a person alive today that has not heard of this guy. His brother Luigi is another story… But Mario is famous! His games have had huge success and he has appeared in over 200 games. That is a ridiculous resume. You will be very hard pressed in finding another character like Mario.

Most of his games are 2d scrollers in which he jumps on turtles, travels down over-sized pipes, and eats a ridiculous amount of mushrooms, and he does it all for the sake of rescuing his beloved princess Peach from the evil Bowser.

That concludes our list of the most famous and well-known video game characters of all time. Let us know who your favorite is in the comments below?
