Let's be honest. Which is better? Sonic or Mario. This has been an argument ever since Sonic was born. Both have an arch-nemesis (Dr.Robotnick & Bowser). Both have a sidekick (Tails & Luigi). And both have firerce rivals (Shadow & Wario (it's obvious too see who's cooler out of those two!)). Mario features Uniqe style of paltforming games. Sonic is also platforming but has high-intense speed action. Please think carefullay about this and type up your thoughts.

Take this stupid topioc away. This is the kind of thing you'd get in early 1990's magazines. Both game are redeemable on their own merits.

(stupid question in a SONIC forum)
personnally I have always perferred sonic and I assume that will be your common answer.
Why?
I have never liked how mario felt while playing and I am one of those few who hated mario 64 I have rarely enjoyed his games, the only being super smash brothers.
Sonic though I have always enjoyed though his games can be easier I felt they are alot more playable and still find myself returning to them even though I have long since completed them...Also his transition to full on 3d goodness I felt was more enjoyable then mario 64 (Diverse game modes new characters and worlds)
Personnally I havnt played mario sunshine but apart from the water feature the game seems to be more of the same.
While admittadly I am a tad annoyed at Sonic teams dicision to be more like the old games...I love them to bits but I admired sonic team for both Nights and Burning Rangers because they tried to be fresh. And aspects of Sonic Adventure games showed this. And while Heros has new features. The game boy advance games have overall been a disapointment. Except the recent Battle which reminds me too much of powerstone (which I love) hence I like it...

Look up this topic in the dictionary and you'll see FLAMEBAIT in big letters. It's probably not the brightest of ideas in a Sonic forum, and, although it may well be an interesting discussion topic, it unfortunately never is, especially in the presence of noobs.

Really is kinda stupid to have this topic in a Sonic forum isn't it? Cos everyone's gonna pick the obvious choice which is MARIO! lol kiddin kiddin. For me, when I was younger I played Mario Bros. before the Sonic games so when I was like 5/6 I was a pretty big Mario fan so loved the games, loved the cartoon etc etc. and when STC first came out I was kinda like "Sonic??? What about Mario?!" But Sonic 2 pretty much changed all that lol. I just find the Sonic world so much more interesting and diverse. Mario does of course have his great games, Mario Kart (original, 64 and Double Dash) Super Smash Bros and the original Mario games but I find the Sonic games to have so much more playability. I never could understand why Mario 64 was called the best platformer ever, I really just didn't get it. Sonic is just cooler in every way Sorry but I had to laugh when it said "think carefully about your answer" cos no thought was required lol.

Fair enough. My opinion is that they're both excellent, but I prefer Sonic for various reasons I can't be fiddled to list. It has to be said, though, at least Nintendo can properly programme a 3D platformer...I know it's not easy to do that sort of thing at the speeds that Sonic goes, but come on...on Heroes the other day I was playing the first level with Chaotix and I slipped off a high platform, which had one of those little gullys under it, but I just went straight through the floor of the gully! Luckily, I was in flight mode, so I could fly back up...

What about Mario & Sonic in the same game? Not a game with a storyline of course because that is a bit stupid but in a fighting game. There were rumors about Sonic in Super Smash Bros Melee weren't there?

actually I really wish seeing sega now make games for nintendo that they'd make a big fighting game ala super smash bro or powerstone with all the big companies of the 16-bit era
it can be called 16 bit legends or something and u dont choose a character but a company to represent. For example: Nintendo, Sega, Capcom, Treasure. Etc etc
and though u start with a small little known character from that company u meet new characters and they join their respected teams and are available to play. Depending on the company who owns the level your playing on the game style differs (smash bros style for Nintendo, powerstone style for sega/capcom) And the final boss for each company is something so closely linked with that company. For example with Sega it should be a Giant Yuji Naka head or the head from the old Sega adverts or something.
So you'd get not only loads of sonic and mario characters but also all the other nintendo ones and sega ones like Ristar or Gunstar Heros. You could get characters like Megaman if you played for capcom and so on.
it'd be so cooool.

That would be awesome, purely because you said "Treasure", the best game company in the multiverse.

Treasure: Dynamite Heady Gunstar Heros Green Selection of Gunstar Villians Cat from dynamite heady the girl from dynamite heady
Capcom Megaman etc Ghouls and ghosts sir arthur is it?
SEGA Sonic cast (excluding all new characters...maybe as hidden characters) Ristar

If you mix 32 bit sony will pay to have its crap characters added (crash bandicoot etc)

There were rumors about Sonic in Super Smash Bros Melee weren't there? Shigeru Miyamoto himself hinted that Sonic may appear in mario kart dd. the lying swine! Personally I prefer sonic in 2d, mario in 3d. Sorry! Always used to hate mario, but I'd be lying if I said I prefered the 3d sonic games to the 3d mario ones
