I am a little disturbed by how many Mario games that is. Wow.

Agreed. Pretty epic franchise. Someone at Disney is reading this and deciding they’ve still got many many StarWars and Marvel movies they can make.

You might enjoy this video that attempts to rigorously define how many "mainline" Mario games there are among the hundreds that exist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XejJ6PzPtEw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XejJ6PzPtEw

  there has been a revision/sequel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ddmjcy3lEs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ddmjcy3lEs also the results of these findings could be combined, from the glimpse of it for the "super mario" series specifically BGYRG is a more prevalent color sequence, while RGYBG is more common among sports spin-offs

Ohhh thats not even all of them! Be prepared... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_featuring_Mario https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_featurin...

  Damn, according to that list there are 382 games in the series so far, without counting the various spinoffs and sub series where Mario doesn't play a starring role (Yoshi, Donkey Kong Country, Wario Land, WarioWare, Princess Peach Showtime, etc). Yeah, a full list of games in the series analysed like this would go on for something like 500 pages.

I heard somewhere that globally, Mario is more recognizable by people than Mickey mouse. I've gone back and forth on whether I believe that, but what a amazing concept if it's true! What do you think?

  I wouldn't be surprised. Probably because Mickey hasn't starred in anything relevant for a large part of the younger generation in many years, maybe even decades. Disney doesn't really make movies staring Mickey anymore. Mickey in games exists but is also rare and usually these games are fairly niche.

  I’d be surprised if it isn’t true. Mickey Mouse hasn’t been very present anymore outside of Kingdom Hearts and the Disney parks.
