Not OP, but Mario is one of the most recognizable characters in the world. He’s had comics, 4 cartoon series, countless toys and merchandise, theme park attractions, etc. The original Super Mario was the undeniable standard bearer for the platforming genre and would spawn the largest game franchise in world history, responsible for over 800 million games sold. I’d call it a pretty influential property, staying as strong as ever 40 years after Mario’s big starring debut.
Apart from a few rather mediocre movies and a few orchestras playing the theme tune what did you have in mind there?
