Poor Pac-Man! The Namco icon barely managed to stay above 10% thanks to Mario, but he still wasn't the most pathetic character in the poll, since Wander was there to claim that honor with the second worst performance of the contest so far. Mario performed as expected, but Big Boss surprised by taking almost a quarter of the vote. 79 people had Big Boss second while 61 had Pac-Man. The consensus predictions were Big Boss 17.18%, Mario 58.00%, Pac-Man 16.91%, Wander 8.02%.
