Favourite Mario Characters
My subjective favourite characters in the Mario franchise. I would do a list of my favourite video game characters altogether but if I did that the vast majority of them would be from Mario, with a few non-Mario characters such as Link at the bottom. Mario it is then :).Massive spoilers for SPM, a few spoilers for TTYD also.
Please note that gameplay elements such as the difficulty of boss fights are NOT counting towards this list, but presentation elements such as dialogue ARE. However, this list is ranked on these characters' roles in their respective plots and the quality of their personalities and dialogue first and foremost.
Paper doppelgangers and baby versions not counted separately.
