    Of course, Mario the classic as it gets hero- who's been in tons of games, why don't we show more than 3? It's like Link- no Twilight Princess

    Mario is cool but he doesn't need to win all the time. I think it was good that Freeman won for a change

    @Lindsay123456 - I would recomend Brawl,Galaxy,MKW,Super Mario Strikers Charged,Mario Party 8,and all of the VC games,and some more Mario Wii games featuring Mario if you want Mario.

    Hey Mario, guess what! You know how you "lost" the Greatest Game Hero Contest? Well, it was rigged. YOU ARE THE TRUE WINNER! Congrats, Mario!

    Listen Mario is the father of Nintendo or didn't anyone know. If Mario took out all his shares and profits and left, the company would fall apart instantly they know it. So when ever they try to get out of line with him he reminds them that he is the owner and not the other way around.

    MARIO IS NINTENDO!

    This was a bad montage and had too little games and too much repetition, nevertheless Mario is still the greatest! too bad I don't own a Wii or DS

    Para mim, estas muito errado. Mario, will easily win.

    Mario has the best history of any gaming hero ever. His games will live on forever.

    Out of Mario's HUNDREDS of games, lets show 3.

  • Nintendoood

    Posted Sep 27, 2009 11:04 am PT

    For some reason i can't thumbs up anything 'cuz it keeps saying 'Invalid rating' so i might as well just say: Completely agree! They should've shown at least Super Mario 64 and Paper Mario/Mario and Luigi series andstuff and Mario IS gaming and the main reason for gaming today xD. Mario pwns!

  • ResidentEvilWii

    Posted Sep 27, 2009 10:33 am PT

    OMG! How could they not show Super Mario 64, Paper Mario 2, or Super Mario World THE best games from every1s childhood!

    Can I get a little "Greatest Game of All Time (Super Mario RPG: LotSS)?

  • justincoool

    Posted Sep 26, 2009 10:27 pm PT

    Mario is gaming. The definition of classic.

    Mario makes Princess Peach's royal guards look like pansies.

    He's one crazy-a Italian plumber.

    They kept showing the same three games over and over. How about showing some clips from Mario & Luigi or Paper Mario, I mean those were two of the four series' they cited him being in.

  • Hard_game_Fan

    Posted Sep 23, 2009 1:52 pm PT

  • SquigleyG

    Posted Sep 21, 2009 5:00 pm PT

    That was a CRAPPY montage. Footage from 3 games to represent Mario? And they didn't even include Super Mario World. Gamespot needs to fire their editor.

    Mario is like the guy who made video games.

    Mario is probably the one video game character that everyone on the planet knows about. Mario redefined gaming as we know it and helped popularize gaming to what it is know. It would be a shame on behalf of the gaming community if Mario is not crowned The Greatest Game Hero.

    It would be an atrocity if Mario is not named Greatest Game Hero.

  • DeeDeeDee-er

    MischiefmAker- In my experience Super Mario Kart is generally considered the best. Nonetheless you've got the idea straight.
