I've taken the names of popular video-game characters and embedded them in the sentences below. Each name will appear in consecutive letters, although those letters may span two or more words. The names also may ignore interceding punctuation.
For example, take this sentence: "Omar, ionizing radiation is probably the cause of your mutation."
The hidden character here is Mario: "Omar, ionizing radiation is probably the cause of your mutation."
Can you find the other hidden characters? If not, the answers appear on page two.
