How many people here ACTUALLY like Mario?

You mean because the game is turn based and not action-y?

I said plot not hardware issues D:

I like Mario and his Jump'n runs but I don't like Nintendo's commercialization with the plumber. X partygames and sportgames in every year which are (nearly) exactly the same! I want more games like Super Mario World .

You just choose the move and luck does the rest, Yes!

What Citrus said.

Minus the Link part, though Link's cool all the same.

I like Mario, sure, but recently my interest in the franchise has been drained due to several...well, uninteresting Mario games. I was really excited to see Super Mario Galaxy because it looks like it's going to reestablish the series again.

So while I may like other Nintendo franchises more, I certainly like Mario.

I'm generally a fan of all Mario games.

Despite what people say about the sport and party titles, the fact remains the same that they ARE great party games. Everytime I have a LAN party, we're always playing Mario Tennis or Mario Party 5/7, Mario Strikers etc

And when i'm on my own, Mario RPG type games provide a good long and amusing time in general, and are fun. And then, when it comes down to it, you have the platformers, which are the usual Mario game and are generally fun by default. Even Mario Sunshine had its moments, and I personally liked to play it.

Yeah not that type differences, stats, ev's, natures and all the other values have anything to do with it, it's JUST luck

I like good games. Mario just happens to be in a lot of well made games, and because of this, a lot of well made fangames. The guy himself can be a bit annoying at times, but compared to a lot of other characters these days, he's still one of the best.

The only not Mario games I have is NHL 2006, Kirby CC and Rhythm Tengoku...

I like Mario, sure. Great game series.

Though, the only games I ever play are MMORPGs. I haven't touched a Mario game for months. ~_~

Mario still is my favourite game character.
Although some games are way better than any Mario game, they are only good when playing through once.
Mario in contrary can be picked up again and again and again, and that's why I just love it. It will never get boring, even if you play the same level 100 times. (well, you have to play a real lot to make it boring)

Mario is my favorite game series...With Zelda coming close

I'm still a die-hard Mario fan. Though, I'll admit the recent games haven't been as good as they could have, you'll find that about 90% of the video games I play have something to do with Mario (or another Mario character like Wario or Yoshi or something.)

Mario Is probaly my second or 3rd favorite Gaming series. I mean I bought NSMB the day it came out so its not like im getting sick of Mario.

1. Zelda
2. Mario
3. Sonic

aroo

A little I guess.

Mario fails. Yoshi and Kafei and James McCloud are where it's at.
(That's the F-Zero James, not the Starfox James)

In terms of games, Mario ranks next to Zelda at the top, followed by F-Zero and Pokemon.

I'm probably the only person here who doesn't like Sonic games.

Mario's super awesome; if there's any other famous plumbers I can't think of them at the moment.

I don't either. Most of the time Mario is subjected to bashing for being kidish, twas why I like him.
