Mario and Pac-man have a 15 and 18 year head start on Pikachu and that's hard to overcome in terms of branding and recognition. Sure some brands fade, but Mario has remained Nintendo's mascot the whole time.
So while Pikachu is very recognizable (the movies surely don't hurt), I'd still give the edge to Mario. Maybe you could debate Pac-man. I think the simplicity of Pac-man's design helps as much as the longevity here.
