Kind of surprised me how high Mario ended up being for me; I rarely actively seek out Mario games, but they're just kind of everywhere and have been for a long time. If it was strictly how many I've owned, it drops considerably whereas most of the others stay the same
---

it's definitely going to wind up being Mario just because of pure overwhelming volume alone

I'd be skeptical if that wasn't true for at least like 30% of people

Probably Zelda

Or Kingdom Hearts
---

no way it's not Mario
---

Please don't make me type all these out

Top 5

Mario - 57
Mega Man - 41
Sonic - 33
Final Fantasy - 32
Zelda - 25
---

Franchise is definitely Mario. Series is definitely Super Mario.
---

All those Sonic games and you haven't played S3&K? How?
---

I was really into castlevania as a teen, so I bet it is that:

1, 2, 3, 4, SNES Dracula X, Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines, Chronicles, The Adventure, The Adventure Rebirth, SOTN, COTM, Dissonance, AOS, DOS, POR, OOE, Judgment, 64, LOI, COD, LOS, Mirror of Fate

that's 23 I think! but I think I've only beated 18 of those. I should really track down the ones I haven't played, just for bragging rights at least...

I mean, I've seen it played, but the only Sonic games I owned initially were the original and then none until Adventure; 2 I only played via Steam

I own it on Steam too, just never got around to it

Pokemon: 25
Red
Blue
Yellow
Gold
Crystal
Ruby

Oh.

FF can have the nudge I guess if we're counting the Bravely games (ya go my FF wiki). Also I dunno, maybe FFT:WotL is different enough to be counted separately too?
---

Mario, and it's not even close.
---

oh each version of pokemon, yeah thats up there then
---

Pokemon surprisingly only got 11 for me, and over half are spinoffs

Blue
Silver
Ruby
Black
Omega Ruby
TCG
Pinball
Pinball: R&S
Stadium
Pokken Tournament
Snap
---

Played is Final Fantasy, I imagine. I've played at least small bits of each mainline game (other than the MMOs) and a few side games. However, beaten is a different story. I think I've only ever finished 1 and 13. (And Tactics and...)

I suppose it's possible there's a series I've played more of, but it's unlikely, considering I don't lump every game Mario has ever appeared in under one umbrella.
---

I guess in hindsight, counting Red and Blue separately is probably a mistake, since it should follow under the logic of not including ports. Third versions can be argued too I guess, but I'll stick to including them.
---

Mario, quite solidly.
---

May have to retract my last answer, I've played 79 Marvel video games. Feels like that's kinda cheating though.
---

I think mine might be Ratchet & Clank.

Ratchet & Clank
Going Commando
Up Your Arsenal
Tools of Destruction
Quest for Booty
A Crack in Time
Into the Nexus
Ratchet & Clank PS4

I tend to stick to shorter series or just spread my time around a bunch of different standalone games. And I don't play many Nintendo games so I don't get those huge long-lasting franchises from them.
---

If you're counting subseries, probably Megaman. Classic, X, Zero, ZX, Battle Network, Star Force, there's a lot there.
---

FF - 15
WWE - 14
Pokemon - 10
Mario - 7

I think off the top of my head.
I didn't realise I'd played so many WWE games.
---

Don't feel like counting, but top 4 are definitely Mario, Zelda, FF, and DQ in some order
---

i'm a boring old Mario > FF > Zelda

for a second i thought FF might have been #1 and then i remembered 9 Mario Party games
---

Most definitely Mario and I doubt anything else comes close.

Second is probably Mega Man.
---

IMO, Mario Party is not "Mario." Neither is Mario Kart or any Mario sports game. You might as well just say "Nintendo" at that point.
---

Probably Mario
---

Mario is #1... but honestly that's cheating cause he has like 15 series.

Individual series is gonna be Final Fantasy then Legend of Zelda then Super Mario then Pokmon then Super Mario Sports and Kingdom Hearts (tied)

Mario has more games than Mega Man?
---

Probably Mario
---

First guess would be Final Fantasy, checking it against Mario.

FF: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 11, 12, 13, 13-2, 13-3, 14, 15, CC
Mario: 1, 2, 3, World, 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 2, SMK, MK64, MKDD, MK7, MKDS, Mario Golf, Mario Golf TT, Super Mario RPG.

About even.
---

If we're counting sports and party spinoffs, it has to be Mario.
---

More than triple probably.

I think there are like 180 Mario games.

Has to be Mario. I'm not even bothering to count, I know nothing else is close.

when you don't get a release in a series for like a decade that's what happens

Oh
Well I played almost every Mega Man game but not Mario so I guess it's still Mega Man for me
Mario I only played
Mario Bros
SMB1-3
SM64
SM64DS
SMS
SMG1+2
SM3DL
Mario and Luigi 1-5
Paper Mario
SMRPG
Wrecking Crew (if it even counts)
Mario Party 2
Super Mario Land
Super Mario World
Yoshi's Island (if it counts)
NSMB, NSMB2, NSMB WII
SMBDX
Super Mario Run

So make that 27, assuming Wrecking Crew and Yoshi Island counts

Also games that obviously don't count-
Super Mario Advance 1-4
Super Princess Peach

As for Mega Man
Mega Man 1-10
Mega Man X 1-6,8
Mega Man Xtreme 1,2
Mega Man Zero 1-4
Megaman ZX, ZXA
Mega Man Battle Network 1-6 (+4 if other version counts)
Mega Man Star Force 1-3 (+5 if other versions count)
Mega Man Legends 1, 2
The Misadventures of Tronn Bonne
Mega Man 1-5 (GB)
Mega Man and Bass
Mega Man the Power Battle
Mega Man Powered Up
Rockman Exe Wonder Swan (yeah wtf)
Rockman EXe Operate Shooting Star
Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge
Rockman EXE 4.5

So make that 49 (58 if other versions for MMBN and SF counts)

Also this game doesn't count but I played it too-
Street Fighter X Mega Man
---

Franchise is likely easily Mario.

Final Fantasy and Sonic are pretty close though.
---

Probably Mega Man...

I think Mario might beat it out, but I know Dynasty Warriors franchise is up there. Definitely second at least.
---

Off the top of my head probably Pokemon.
---

Final Fantasy: 34 (more if you count stuff like FF3 DS as separate games)

It's probably Mario including things like the sports titles, but I don't really feel like trying to figure out what counts.
---

Definitely Mario. Not even gonna check because it's super obvious.

If we're talking like percentage of a series, it's Ace Attorney, since I'm 7/6 on games brought state-wide (plus AAI2). Or I guess Hotel Dusk, since I'm 2/1 there.
---

Mario, easily.

Let's see Mario Games I've played:
Super Mario Bros

That's I think... 48 games? And that's not counting stuff like Donkey Kong or Super Smash Bros.
---

mega man ez
---

i think final fantasy barely edges out mario for me, although i'm only counting the platforming marios in that series

if we're really lumping everything together, the star wars franchise might win
---

With just a quick rough count in my head, it's between Mario and Pokemon. Probably Mario wins.
---
