Mario or Sonic?

[Ray Maverick]

Sonic and Mario are both great, but i see Mario is more famous due to the fact that Mario has more games. I liked Mario, but now i think Sonic rocks, even if he is not the most famous hero.

Sonic wins in my book, hands down.
I mean, I grew up with Sonic the hedgehog!
I watched the Sat AM show, I read ALL of the old Archie comics, and I have seen EVERY episode of Sonic X (4kids tv)
I have almost every sonic game, and I wont ever stop loving that series.

About 5 years ago, I would have voted for Sonic. I used to love that franchise.

Now, its definitely Mario. Mario games are more successful IMO and much more enjoyable.

There hasn't been a half-decent Sonic game in a long, long time. That said, the Mario games haven't been awe-inspiring for a long time, although they've held up better with all of the brilliant spin-offs, such as Mario Kart (DS and Wii) and the handheld RPGs.

That said, Mario is such a poor character design, he's nothing short of a gimmick. I mean, he looks right at home on my Cement Factory Game & Watch (Yes, I have one), but he falls short of a the superhero Nintendo have turned him into.

Sonic, on the other hand, is a brilliant design. He looks great, has a far more original set of attributes (Mario is stuck with quality overalls and iconic exclamations), which matches his physical form and game style.

In the end, darting through the air in a blue ball of fun is inherently more exciting than waddling around yet another generic castle.
