Who is the most famous videogame character ?

I mean guys like Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, but also Pacman, Pitfall
Harry and "villains" like Donkey Kong and others.

The most famous could be Mario. He did appear in some 30 or so games
for NES and SNES alone.

The first character that came to my mind was Pac-Man, but I could see why
Mario would be the #1 choice.
