And her are some comments from the participants…
“It’s like I’m still allowed to have this private place where I can be a kid (with Mario) and just have fun.” – 40 year-old man
“Kirby is so cute! And his attacks just blow away foes.” – 20 year-old woman
“Yeah, more than Doraemon, Detective Conan and others, Mario is the country’s national character. After all, it’s the Age of Mustache!” – another male
Perhaps best of all, one man chose Captain Falcon because he’s “hot”.
With one participating saying Mario is a “National character”, GameKun ultimately concluded, “Yeah, more than Doraemon, Detective Conan and others, Mario is the country’s national character. After all, it’s the Age of Mustache!”
