(and Heroes wasn't all bad)
A round pink body of fluff that lives in a world of dreams? An androgynous elf that fights in a mystical land created by three goddesses? Halo might as well be "Samus but male" and that game franchise has become rather generic now hasn't it?
Samus is actually pretty conventional aside from (gasp) BEING A GIRL
Mario, though...that dude was created in like 1981, no doubt about it. Having "cool" game heroes didn't matter so much back then.
Yes, I do consider Samus unconventional in this regard.

I.E. "Let's make a game about a dude in some power armor, but then it's actually a female",
Wherein modern reiterations, you just have Halo's "Let's make a game about a dude in some power armor"

*sigh*
to put it in the simplest way possible
*Samus Aran is a bounty hunter who is infused with parts of alien DNA (in later games at any rate). Her suit of armor is central to the plot and can be upgraded by the player at numerous intervals throughout her games, and it also actually contains all of her weapons.
*John-117 ("The Master Chief") is a genetically-engineered super soldier that was abducted from his home by the UNSC (a global, spacefaring government) as part of a project to make whole battalions of said super soldiers called Spartans (Spartan II's to be exact, it's a long story). John's suit is certainly critical to his function, but to the player is mostly incidental as anything other than a vehicle for Cortana. John-117 was, in the main line of Halo games (1-3) the last publicly known of the Spartans. In later games, more were introduced, and others were known to exist because of the tie-in novels.
the similarities extend to "they fight in space and have power armor". That's about it.
To go back to the original topic for a bit, it sounds like the whole thing is really just a misunderstanding. Mario is actually a building supervisor responsible for the maintenance and repair of Peach's castle, so when Nintendo refers to him as "super" they are just stating his job title, not making a judgment about the quality of his character.

The Halo games, in contrast, are closer to standard military fare. The focus is on combat or completing objectives, and exploration of the environment is only done to further those two goals.
However, I will not deny that women should be better represented in video games.
