Mario or Sonic?

Well everyone knows about this rivalry... Sonic was a hit after tons of people got bored of the challenging Mario and the random Alex Kidd after a little while...

So then along came Sonic.. I guess because of his newness and originality, he got so much attention. And to the programmers of the past it was amazing because of the speed boundaries...

But you know, MArio was still up for it. He was just as good.

For me, I was inspired into art by SA2B. I wouldn't have started if it weren't for that game.

So I can't so no to Sonic, but I admit that when Shadow the Hedgehog came an Yuji Naka left, it's gotten worse than Mario. Though, I find Sonic more exciting than Mario because of his unique characteristics of speed and all. So, yeah. Sonic for me.

When sonic was at his best..They were on a par.

But sonic hasn't aged well..and there hasn't been a good sonic game since the good ol' Mega Drive/Genesis. dreamcast can come too

Whereas Mario has failed to make a bad game since the CD-I days.

Mario.

Character design? Sonic. He's fast, blue (xD) and cool, whereas Mario ia a plumber. :\ So yeah, Sonic wins on the part.

Quality of Games? Definitely Mario! After Sonic Adventure 2, in my opinion Soni has just gone downhill. Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders? >_>

Yeah, but I cant decide which is better overall. xD

You know, I really want to say Sonic, but his games just suck recently, Unleashed gets a mention because playing as regular Sonic is how Sonic games in modern consoles should be, but even that has it's issues, and don't even get me started on the massive amounts of dialog and the werehog.

I'm not a gigantic Mario fan, but Mario wins this one, at least his games can hold one's attention.

Sonic never really seemed to have a personality to me. So I'ma have to go with the Mario.

You're too slow! Ah, i hate that punny little hedgehog so its' a Mario for me.

Mario has always been the bigger & better franchise.

Mario.
I grew up with him, I can't find Sonic better :/

What about "Neither; there hasn't been a good game in either series for 10 years" option?

Are you seriously saying that Galaxy, Sunshine and NSMB are bad games? .. Are you seriously saying that?

Wow..You really have something a bit wrong in your head.

Casual, boring, rehash.
Are you seriously arguing with me?

Wow..You really have something a bit wrong in your head.

Casual..Explain how please.
Boring..In places, but it offers better gameplay than alot of other so called great games.
Rehash..Yes, but it's not like it a complete port, it has expanded gameplay and different items and many more levels.

Seriously not the best time to copy; when arguing against you and defending mario doesn't really comtemplate as crazy. Whereas saying that those are bad games, seriously is.

Ok this is the hardest decision of my life. I'm a huge fan of both series. But, I'm going with Mario since Sonic hasn't had a really good game since Sonic Adventure 2.

Not really, not for Mario. Mario's been going great for quite a while... And I can't add that anyway.

Don't be starting things, guys. I agree with you that Mario still has good games, but remeber we're just saying what we like about it, not debating.

Same goes for you. And adding some description won't do much... So yah. ^^;

Mario.

No contest.

Seriously, he's been in gaming waaay before Sonic and I grew up playing his games more than the Sonic ones.

:P

Never been a huge Sonic fan. I still play Super Mario bros at least a couple times a month though. I can play a speed run and beat it in around 8 or 9 minutes. Was going for the record at one point, but gave up.

Mario, ffs!

Sonic had a good run, but now he needs the boot before he rots. ;_;

I prefer sonic over mario. I just like sonic way more than mario. I watch and played more games with sonic than mario, but at the same time mario is cool too though. ;D
