[Jahgee]

That title though

 

[CinnamonOD]

Didn't grew up playing his games, but I respect it and I like their Kart games

Cool

 

[Roger the Horse]

Not Luigi.

That title though

Oops...

 

[Luminis]

The games may be great. But c'mon. He's stereotyped to hell and back again and he looks cute and somewhat cuddly (which is gross, given that he's an adult Italian plumber, of all things) - not remotely cool.

 

[Ken]

Icon. Sub Zero.

 

[AudiMan2011]

If this were the 1980's, Mario would have been Sub Zero. This is not the 1980's and Mario is well past his sell-by date. His time is over and he needs to be retired so Nintendo can move forwards.

Seriously Uncool.

Seriously Uncool.

Without Mario being around today, Nintendo would be a figure of the past.

 

[Adamgp]

Sub Zero.

However I prefer the old school 2D Mario to the new 3D Mario.

 

[Anathema]

The poster boy for why Nintendo has been steadily declining over the last few years (close to a decade now?)

Uncool.

(I'll post why I think this later, when I have time to do so.)

 

[Lucas]

I always hated this guy. Whether for the looks or for his awful catchphrases. Seriously Uncool.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Commodore -> Sega -> Playstation.

And there is not a Mario shaped hole in my life.

 

[GranTurismo916]

Meh. Luigi is a Sub-Zero.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Even though I didn't grow up on Nintendo, it's hard for me to deny the significance of the Mario series. Plus it's really funny when you see a man wearing a red shirt, overalls and full moustache in real life.

 

[Pupik]

I hate when some dumb ape steals my lady and rolls barrels in attempt to win back her heart.

 

[Dan]

I grew up with Mario Kart Double Dash!!, so he gets a Sub-Zero from me. I love that game, but I haven't played it in so long.

 

[The Bman]

Malleo.

 

[Ettick]

He's featured in some great games and some terrible games. Overall meh.

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Meh.

Was never a Nintendo kid and the games never appealed to me enough to play them.

Crash Bandicoot on the other hand.............

 

[axletramp]

Sega Fanboi to the core! Sonic > Mario. FACT.

Uncool.

 

[TheCracker]

Mario hasn't been of any interest since he made the leap from 16-bit.

 

[niky]

Gameboy DS? Pfffft.

The answer is obviously Sub-Zero.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Charles Martinet made some Vines that pretty much secured the Sub spot for this fat Italian.

 

[Legro]

The guy manages to escape the fact he has mustache. And he does karting, which isn't proven to be uncool yet. Would be cooler if he was green, though.

 

[Mikeybc]

Remember playing the first 3d Mario game and Pilotwings I think it was called the day Nintendo-64 was released. Didn't like the 2d side scrolling Mario games. 3d Mario cool....2d Mario meh. Very low cool I guess.

 

[All Your Base]

The most iconic video game character ever. Sub-zero.

But.... Nintendo is milking the games to the point it's a meh.

 

[Grand Prix]

Shrooms-consuming, chubby Italian plumber that has issues with reptilians.

Pretty cool I guess.

Pretty cool I guess.

Don't forget, he's a big furry, too.
