BRUH. BRUUUUH.Huh, surprising results. I would have thought Mario in a landslide.
To me the distinction is that Mario is the mascot for Nintendo and arguably video games in general. If you even know the name of a Super Mario Bros. game, you already know who Mario is.
Pikachu is the best-known Pokemon by a large margin, but not the face of the franchise. It was even made impossible to obtain in Gen V.
I suppose what would give Pikachu the edge here is that Pokemon is much more of a multimedia franchise (the TCG and the anime are both extremely prolific parts of it that have taken on lives of their own) than Mario is, and Pikachu is front and center in the anime.
I dunno, Era constantly overestimates Pokemon and posts a link to the wiki highest grossing page as evidence for everything. From saying Let's Go would easily outsell Smash (because look at this wiki page) to saying Detective Pikachu would outgross Toy Story (cause look at this wiki page). The Era bubble is real, but it doesn't really apply when underestimating Pokemon.
My gut says Pikachu but I don't feel strongly about it. Pikachu is a cute animal which lends universal appeal. Mario's just, like, a dude.
Yep. This place assumes everyone's a millennial that can recognize and name the top 50 Pokemon characters. It's weird.
My 70 year old grandma in Morocco knows who Pikachu is, but she's probably never seen Mario in her life. "Pokemania" isn't something that was just made up.I dunno, Era constantly overestimates Pokemon and posts a link to the wiki highest grossing page as evidence for everything.

My grandparents know who Mario is and have no idea what Pokemon is. I didn't say it was made up, Pikachu is one of the biggest characters in the world, but so is Mario. To pretend that Pikachu is so far above him that only someone in a bubble would believe otherwise is pretty silly.My 70 year old grandma in Morocco knows who Pikachu is, but she's probably never seen Mario in her life.

For a time Mario was more recognisable then even Mickey mouse but that was in the 90s
It's pikachu now
Though I'd suspect there's some overlap
Not even close, people just misinterpreted the source.
Mario (and Sonic) at times in the 90s had a higher percentage of children in a certain age group that had them as a favorite character -out of those that recognized them- compared to Mickey ("Q Score") - Mickey was way more recognized.
Companies pay for this data like NPD so it's hard to find a complete picture for various years, but this article grouped together a bunch of them https://www.theringer.com/2020/9/9/21428984/mario-spinoffs-franchises-kart-tennis-dr
Percentage of people in the US that recognized various famous video game characters in 2020:
Sonic 75%
Mario 72%
Pac-Man 72%
Donkey Kong 65%
Batman (video games) 61%
Luigi 60%
Pikachu 58%
Yoshi 52%
Link 36%
Toad 34%
Talking Tom 34%
Crash Bandicoot 25%
Master Chief 16%
Compared to Mickey at 88%.
Yes, Sonic was number 1. Maybe things outside games were a bigger part of that.
Pokémon is huge. Pikachu is huge.
But the right answer is Mario.
Here is the PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN, emerging from a pipe dressed as Mario at the Rio Olympics.
Take a moment and think about that. Tokyo had a few minutes of one of the most-watched events in history to showcase their culture to the world. And the character they chose for the signature moment was Mario.
It's Mario.
Pikachu, but Mario is way more cool. And Mew is also way more cool. Please push Mew into a Pokémon Icon, NIntendo.
Well he can't dress like PikachuPokémon is huge. Pikachu is huge.

It's that app with the cat where it can record your voice and it comes out high pitched.
Yeah, I said Pikachu but I'll never forget about this. I was like "wow, he's that friggin' big huh?"Pokémon is huge. Pikachu is huge.

Not with that attitude he can't.
Umm if you said super mario I'm pretty sure they're know what and who your talking about which is what he's known by."Mario" is also just a normal name, people hearing it wouldn't be able to tell who is being talked about without context. Pikachu is unmistakable
Sure but most people just say Mario cause it's shorterUmm if you said super mario I'm pretty sure they're know what and who your talking about which is what he's known by.
Yeah, it's ancedotal, but my Grandma would recognize Mario whereas she would have absolutely no idea who Pikachu was. The only game she's played is Wii Sports bowling with us once or twice.I do think in terms of the overall IP, that Mario has more cross generational appeal than Pokemon. All ages enjoy Mario whereas Pokemon in my life experience seems like only something that's enjoyed by kids and adults who grew up with it as kids.
Worldwide it's Pikachu, and it's not even a close contest. Just visit regions where Nintendo has a weak presence and most people will still know who Pikachu is, including people who have never used the internet nor smartphone before. Pikachu is a in-your-face mascot chosen by TPC that goes far beyond video games.
Are you telling me that Sonic would win in a poll here vs Mario or Pikachu
