The results of a poll conducted by The London Games Festival of 500 gamers shows that Sega’s blue hedgehog is the most loved character and Nintendo’s Mario had to settle for second.
As you read through the full top ten below you’ll probably recognise that most of these iconic characters have been showing up in games for a decade or more.
The n00bs (comparatively speaking) in the list are Grand Theft Auto IV’s eastern European gangster Niko Bellic and the other Rockstar front-man, Max Payne.
1. Sonic the Hedgehog (24%)
2. Super Mario (21%)
3. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider) (16%)
4. Donkey Kong (11%)
5. Pac Man (10%)
6. Link (The Legend of Zelda) (5%)
7. Max Payne (4%)
8. Pikachu (Pokemon) (3%)
9. Niko Belic (Grand Theft Auto IV) (2%)
10. Blanka (Street Fighter) (1%)
Do agree with the list – is there anyone missing?
