It comes down to those who like a good plot in their games and those who don't really care.

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a Mario game where Mario says things and reacts to the situations he's in.

Otherwise the characters are just an avatar and are interchangeable. If Mario was replaced by Luigi, or Gordon Freeman, the game would remain the same provided the mechanics don't change.

So instead of voting for characters (which they almost aren't), you're voting for which game franchise you like best.

I'm not saying platformers aren't as credible as other types of games or that they need stories, but in a character-based vote, I think personality should be what matters.
