He's not the central star he used to be. Remember when his name was muttered by kids more then Mickey Mouse?!? That's not happening now. But I still think he is the most recognizable videogame icon out there. The last (original) Mario game was Paper Mario. It sold very well and it made a couple of top spots on the EGM Gamers Choice Awards.

The N64 game of the year voted by EGM was Paper Mario. The online vote (were the fans voted) put Paper Mario in second.

Paper Mario was also the runner-up for RPG of the year, both EGM and fan votes, behind FFX.

So even on a dying system, Mario still stood out and made N64 users happy, myself included. Plus, look at game sales for Mario on GBA:eek:

So I say, let the sales do the talking. We all seem to be pretty excited about Super Mario Sunshine.....
