Mario

There was never any doubt about which series would come out on top. Shigeru Miyamoto's Italian plumber initially appeared on the scene with Donkey Kong in 1981 and has since ascended to become not only Nintendo's poster boy but also the industry's symbol. Mario Kart, Mario & Luigi, Paper Mario, New Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Galaxy are just a few of the franchises and genres he's worked on. He has also coached a number of successful sports teams, including baseball, tennis, soccer, and basketball.

Mario has sold almost half a billion copies throughout the world. Mario has ruled the gaming industry for nearly three decades, from his exploits saving Princess Peach from another castle in his Super Mario Bros. titles to his ruthless abilities on the tennis court and racetrack, and the plumber continues to rake in the sales statistics with each release.
