Why is Mario Popular? Mario is the Perfect Video Game Character (Analysis of Character/Game Design) 

Mario isn't entirely bland though. He does have a very carefree attitude. He also has several character traits like being obsessed with food and slightly dim-witted. Though unfortunately those traits don't surface often.

Mario is Made by a Japanese person Is Italian Speaks English And Looks kinda Mexican Don’t be racist, be like Mario

What’s your guys opinion on Mario? To me, he’s so daring and competitive! He even saved video games back in 1985. He’s just a great character. People can think he’s uninteresting but that’s their opinion. Mario’s personality is optimistic, competitive, daring, courageous, heroic, and energetic. Mario is just so iconic! Go Mario!

Mario is truly the best video game character and brother of all time without mario Nintendo wouldn’t even exist

And to think Mario as a mascot sounds weird in theory but works in practice

RayMan Is the most underrated Video Character of the 2000’s in my opinion Rayman Legends was an underrated game

Mario and Sonic are both perfect game mascots , but each in a different way

There's also the fact that Mario isn't a character that doesn't embody physical perfection.

I was born in the year May 16th 2000. A few years later I played a game. Called Mario Bros. (AKA the one after donkey Kong AKA the very first appearance of Luigi) I played it on the NES and it was a blast. If 3 years after that I played another Mario game called Super Mario 64 and Super Smash Bros 64 as well. then that's how I started like Mario. It was like meeting a character I can actually relate to and love for life along with the company that made the iconic plumber. So basically Mario Bros and Super Mario 64 got me to love Mario and Nintendo for a lifetime. Mario is the true iconic video game character of all time. We will love him forever.

mario has the tightest controls and the prettiest landscapes, that's why.

I agree that Mario is the best video game character ever! He is better than Luigi in my opinion. Why? Because he is fearless, has better traction, and he has three sidekicks that give him different powers and abilities: FLUDD, who can let Mario spray icky paint like goop, Luma, who can give Mario a special spin ability, and Cappy, who can help Mario capture enemies and objects. So Mario>Luigi.

Mario was my favorite childhood hero that i grew up with. And I don't care if he's a bland character or a psychopathic loonatic (it doesn't matter what he has done, he's still a good guy!) mario is a creative character that was design very easy to appeal young gamers and even older fans that grew up with him in the new latest titles. I mean just look at him, red cap with his letter "M" symbol, has a moustache on his face, he's been wearing overralls and gloves for decades, going alone on his adventures stopping monsters while doing stunts. Mario is a cool character, he's more iconic and more recognizable than other video game characters. People who say mario is a "bland" or "boring" character because he doesn't have that much of the "personality" are just straight up stupid! I've seen him alot in those games for the most fact that he does have a personality unlike other medias like the cartoons, movies, and comic books which is not canon. I don't find him boring and a psychopath, i find mario very interesting and he's is still a hero no matter what people think of him!

I initially wasn't into Mario but recently I have started getting into it after playing 1 of the original Mario games and super Mario.

I like his optimistic, determined, and heroic attitude

I see big potential for you channel, love to listen you talking and explaining, commenting just to let you know than 💁🏽‍♂️

He’s a great character, but he’s still not in smash. 😓

Mario also uses a hammer which shows he’s a plumber besides his outfit

You should have a LOT more subs. Great stuff

“This is why Level creator games don’t do very well.” Mario Maker: *Am I a joke to you?*

I realized that I loved Mario games since I wad basically 3. That's insane and I didn't notice that (I played my first games in 2010 on the Wii)

The princess is always in another castle... Story of my life...

Sick video

mario is like the water,to sonic's(and other characters) soda. yes soda is a more unique drink.but it's not something that you drink everyday .sonic speedy character is charming and catches an audience,but for people who prefer more careful control struggle with sonic's gameplay .while mario is the drink that you can always come to. its not unique but its reliable.not too slow,but not too fast. not overpowered but strong enough to keep ou intersted. also i draw a lot of sonic and mario art. and Sonic more pointy design makes him look "edgy" or cool even in light hearted art,but mario can be cool,cute,dorky or scary if need be

Here comes the salty sonic fans 👁👁

what will happen to super mario when shigeru miyamoto passes away? i never see anyone explain these kinda questions?

Yeah

Fellow Paul

Is Mario actually popular, all I hear online is how people prefer Luigi, People say he is the most bland character to play in Mario Kart, Mario sports games and Mario Party, Most people I see playing Mario wonder to choose someone other than Mario.

super mario

You are so cool

#Cool

Because of Mario’s plain and somewhat unremarkable nature, he is very pliable as a character and can fit in a lot of different genres without issue. Sonic was cool, yes, but his character was much more specialized which made it far more awkward to push him into other genres than platforming

Mario is more cooler and more popular than Sonic in the 90s and in the present

This analysis explains why the sonic franchise suffers so much.

Mario is a simp. Simps are in style. Therefore the key takeaway is to make your character a simp and they’ll go far.

I like the overall quality of the video and while I agree with a lot of what you said, the argument with the silent characters simply doesn't make any sense. Mainly because Master Chief and Sans aren't silent characters at all. Especially Sans, who is very well defined and has a unique personality. Plus, he's not even a playable character to begin with. I personally think that the popularity of Mario in the United States came from the accessibility of Nintendo consoles on the US market back in the day and the overall quality and smoothness of the gameplay. I come from eastern Europe and while I heard about Mario and even was able to play some Mario games occasionally, I never really saw the appeal of the character, I was more into the game mechanics. I'll leave a dislike on the video because I simply disagree with the points made but I definitely see a lot of potential in your channel so please do make more content. It's interesting to see you present your own point of view. :)

Mario is GOD

Mario has no unique personalities, he’s entirely 1 dimensional, doesn’t properly speak and looks so boring, a fat middle aged Italian plumber is so relatable to kids I see why he’s the best character totally

Well, I think it depends on each person, I don't feel any apealing to Mario franchise because is bland and has remainded the same for several years now, their characters are... Ok, I've played some of its games but not many stuck with me, then again, might be just a question on tastes

Mario is good, but I wouldn't call him a perfect character. Personally, Mario being simple and bland is what turns me away from the games.

Mario. Perfect? Uhhhhhhh....I don't know about that one. I mean I like him don't get me wrong but I'm not so sure about him being the perfect gaming character. To be frank I think 2B is a better character than him. See the thing is I'd probably agree if his games weren't so boring these days. I think they are. And as much as I like him saving Peach it's overdone.

I recently played one of the newer games and was kinda stumped how infantile the gameplay and everything is. Like a toddler designed the whole game.

I honestly think he's the worst, weakest, and most sociopathic character in fiction. Mario has no personality, no emotions, and shows no concern for his brother. He also easily gets killed from animals and only has 2 health unless you get power ups. He also kills wigglers and steps on Luigi's shoe and kidnaps Donkey kong. He literally has all the "qualities" of how a villain should be written, and that's Mario.
