Sure, Apple has trademarked Apple. MS has trademarked Windows. Why not Mario? It would have to be limited in use to video games, electronic entertainment, or whatever the narrowest category for such things there is.

In the context of a video game character who happens to be a plumber from Brooklyn, yes.
