Mario is the fat plumber mascot of Nintendo. But if you didn't already know that, why are you on the internets?
Mario has appeared in countless 2D and 3D platformers, RPGs, racers, party games and the obligatory crappy spinoffs. He debuted in Donkey Kong in 1981 - yes, nearly 30 years ago - though his most famous game by far was undisputably Super Mario World, which has been hacked to bits, mainly by crazy Japanese guys with too much spare time who want to make it play sound effects to the Japanese national anthem.
Mario had waged war with Sonic the Hedgehog for the 16 years between 1991 (when Sonic was introduced to the gaming industry) and 2007 (when they made up for no reason and co-starred in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games).
