Pikachu is probably waaaay more iconic especially amongst normies and the younger people too. You’d be hard pressed worldwide to see anyone who didn’t know about the little yellow rat
I'm a bit confused how it’s even this close. Aren't there a ton of Mario titles? Are the sports, party games, and rpg/paper Mario/Mario & Luigi games included in that total?
Mario games sold worldwide = 800 million
Tomb Raider games sold worldwide = 95 million
But muh strong and independent woman (especially the new version with less tits and more bitchiness)
Lara Croft really embodies how we’ve fallen. In no sane world should “make her unpleasant and take away the rack” have actually been made.
You can see it everywhere, especially in longstanding franchises like Halo. Cortana got more and more clothed and uppity as the series went.
And fatter
I was skipping through that new star wars TV series and it was mostly women yelling commands at cucked men from off-screen.
Mario is a very strong argument. Despite Sonic winning the most-searched analysis, I'm still going to nominate Pac-Man as the most iconic.
Even his very nature is more iconic and recognizable than any other video game character to the broader public.
Regardless, Croft is lucky to reach the top 10, let alone the #1 spot. That's crazy talk.
If you say "it's the Pacman shape", everyone knows what you're talking about. He's also so simple anyone can draw him.
Both his in-game and mascot character designs have that timelessness to them that sticks with you.

If they wanted to know "which game sold the most", they would not need to conduct a poll.
Mario leans towards an "every man" persona, he's just a guy doing a job, not flashy or bold. A lot of people might not associate that with "iconic".
And which scene is more iconic?

Because one of them made more than 10x the box office of the other (~4x if you account for inflation)
