What video game mascot did you grew up on?

As in what video game(s) mascot(s) did you play as you grew up? Link? Zelda? Mario and/or Luigi? Solid Snake? Sonic the Hedgehog? Simon Belmont? Pokemon? Mega Man? Kid Icarus? (now known to the gaming world as "Pit") Samus Aran? Pac Man? If Final Fantasy or any other games has mascots that I didn't mention, put that answer down anyway! You can put down as many mascots and/or video game charatchers as you like! Thanks for answering.
