    If it’s the most famous 4, I’m going with PAC-MAN, Mario, the T-block from Tetris, and Pikachu.

    For my personal favourite 4, it’s Tommy Angelo, Arthur Morgan, Scorpion, and the Daytona Hornet.

    Mario- Most iconic pure gaming character

    Pac Man- icon, innovator of laying groundwork for many gaming elements/subcultures

    Sub-Zero- Fighting genre representation, Mortal Kombat at the heart of the Senate hearings/cliches that led to the ESRB’s creation

    Arthur Morgan- Modern “gaming as art” representative (Kratos and his world revolves so heavily around Greek/Nordic mythology and Geralt was a popular book character first/the Netflix adaptation is based on the books, not game)

    Doesn’t the Mt. Rushmore question limit it to 4?

    PAC-MAN - The first mascot. Hall of Famer. Icon.
    MARIO - I think this one needs no introduction.
    SONIC - A rival appears!

    After that, I’m actually not sure. Lara Croft is a contender. Doom Marine? I guess Master Chief and Kratos could be tossed into the mix, but I’m less sure. The gaming landscape exploded upon the PS1’s arrival. There’s so many franchises and characters.
