I like Mario because he's a cheerful, light-hearted, lovable character!

He's the Mickey Mouse of videogames, and like the Disney mascot, has a timeless appeal. From kids to adults, you can always find someone who's a fan of the pudgy plumber and his imaginative, colorful world.

It's the same reason Mickey Mouse is popular, except that Mario is still relevant in modern media.

Both characters were the initiators of major breaking points in their respective industries.

A clever ruse!

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.

Cuz his games are good. That's why Crash Bandicoot isn't popular anymore. His games were trash

I just like how absurd he really is, he's short and fat yet his all he does is run around and jump, he treated his pet monkey named Donkey so badly it goes berserk, he's part Italian plumber-part superhero etc.

Like a few people have stated, Mario is to Nintendo and video games in general as Mickey Mouse is to Disney and Animation

And his video games are still ridiculously good

Finally! Someone who sees Mario the way I do.

Basically, Mario revived the game industry because of Super Mario Bros which itself is a great game that has aged well.

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

..."Mario/Nintendo is the Disney of Gaming" is a very commonly parrotted phrase. The rest are generic descriptors, but I'd still find it hard to believe you've never met anyone, online or offline, that didn't say similar things to that, especially if you frequent Nintendo sites...
