Mascot Poll... Who Rocks More?
 
Its between Mario, Sonic, Crash and Pac Man!

TRIFORCE89 January 27th, 2009 10:25 AM

Mario vs three washed up characters who haven't had a good game in ages. I'm going with Mario.

Cheesymitten January 27th, 2009 10:35 AM

Crash is getting a bit old for me now...
So i went with Sonic he's awesome :D

Also, the chances of the three managing to redeem themselves anytime soon are pretty much non-existent. Sonic Unleashed? What were they thinking? And how can Pac Man's game ever change? I appreciate the fact that it's a classic and everything, but it could do with some sort of upgrade.

Picking Mario, obviously.

There have been a few modern Pac-Man games but...nothing spectacular. I did enjoy Ms. Pac-Man: Maze Madness on the N64 though.

If you want to go with current gens it would technically be mario ratchet&clank and master chief but thats a different story. Anyway lol yeah mario.

parallelzero January 27th, 2009 11:48 AM

In terms of cool, I went with Sonic, seeing as the concept of a fat plumber being the center of an entire franchise has never really appealed to me. I'm not much of a Mario fan to begin with though.

Legobricks January 27th, 2009 12:08 PM

Pac-Man is not a mascot, just infamous for being a simple yellow object that consumes things.

JakeyBoy January 27th, 2009 12:19 PM

I'm surprised Sonic is winning, with no thanks to '06. <_<
I would expect Mario to win here, because this is a fan site for a Nintendo-based franchise, and the others haven't had a truely decent game since the '90s. I voted for Sonic though, I'm a diehard fan.

And yeah, PacMan is barely a mascot, especially nowadays. And all but Mario is from a third party producer. But hey, Halo is practically dead, and Sony haven't had a definite mascot since Spyro (God rest his soul...)

matt561 January 27th, 2009 12:45 PM

Maybe mario is old hat now

I voted for crash because he is allways the one i remeber as a kid

pkmnmaster69 January 27th, 2009 1:02 PM

Sonic defiantly.

I've been a fan a of Sonic since i was 3 years old.

Crystal Clair January 27th, 2009 1:20 PM

Crash Bandicoot ftw. He wasn't overmilked like Mario and I had the most fun in his games.

Mario is the most over used, washed up character of all.

I'm gonna have to vote Pac-Man because the other three have all gone down the drain, not that PM hasn't, he;s just not as over done as Crash, Sonic and Mario.

Nick January 27th, 2009 2:28 PM

Unfortunately, though I hate to vote for him, my vote goes to Mario. All the others are rather dull and boring. Sonic, I've played a few of those games before and grow bored very quickly; Crash, haven't played a game involving him in years. The last one, I believe was back when Play Station 1 was the only good thing to play. Pac Man, unfortunately, though Pac Man's extremely cool, when I think of him, I still think of the ugly graphics-lacking 2D figure that people play in the arcades. So,.. none for him.

Aether January 27th, 2009 4:21 PM

Sonic. Despite his current um... situation, a faster-than-sound blue hedgehog beats a fat plumber and a goofy bandicoot any day.

Rioku_Zanketa January 28th, 2009 7:06 AM

I always hated the wackiness of Crash Bandicoot...Couldn't care less about Pacman, and Sonic is no longer cool like he's supposed to be. He's cool to the gamers and fans, but he's no longer cool to EVERYBODY. like he's supposed to be. Mario has too many factors about him to list that makes me like him.

Mario ftw

JakeyBoy January 28th, 2009 10:19 AM

For all the people who say Sonic grows boring quickly, I say go back to the Mega Drive, and it's addons. You will be pleasently surprised.
Crash Bandicoot's last decent game was CTR. Everything before and including that was to die for.
Mario is still good, but just the same old game, with a gimmick thrown in (FLUDD, planet physics, etc).
Pacman was good, when there were no other games =P

Underoos January 28th, 2009 10:36 AM

I just said Pac Man. Not sure why, but I couldn't choose so I just closed my eyes and picked XD

Tanooki January 28th, 2009 11:39 AM

I'll always enjoy the pre-Saturn days of Sonic, but the new stuff just... sucks. I found some redeaming qualities in Adventure (and 2), and Heroes was better than I expected it to be (after reading the reviews, I really wasn't expecting much)... but after the 2006 game, I've completely lost hope for this series. Haven't bothered with Unleashed yet, but people tell me it isn't that great. I'll probably get around to trying it myself eventually.

The Genesis years were Sonic's prime. The Dreamcast years were ok, but most everything after that just doesn't cut it on an overall scale. It really doesn't help his case that Simon Jeffery hates all things Sonic, so until he's gone, we might not see a quality product for a long time.

As for the poll... Mario will always be my favorite. Pac-Man isn't really a mascot, and Crash hasn't been relevant since the PS1. I already went into rant about Sonic, so you know where I stand on that.

~MasterMind~ January 28th, 2009 11:47 AM

It seems as though Sonic and Mario would be tied since there the 2 more popular mascots.
I find sonic to be better. >_>

He Trembles on Your Breath January 29th, 2009 10:07 AM

Sonic has to win. ¬.¬ Mario is way overated and I never liked him.

Spyro was so awesome. For maybe his first three games. Then they made Eligah (sp?) Wood his voice and he was just ruined...

Barney. January 29th, 2009 10:34 AM

Fat plumber..Obviously.

Sonic: Console games past the Mega Drive suck, the hanheld ones aren't great either.

Crash Bandicoot: Used to like the old playstation games...But the New ones? No. Just No.

Pac-Man: One Classic...Which I still don't enjoy :/


The only which actually has never had a bad game is Mario.

Apart from the odd spin-off.

"What about super mario bros. 2?"

"STFU!"

The odd spin off? Try in excess of 150.
