mario vs sonic

[ShadowBlade]

which of the old games do you think is better
(whichever mario was out when sonic came out)

 

[lokiju]

I liked and had both, but I'd pick Mario over Sonic for the old school days.

 

[Goosemaster]

No question.

Mario was way more of a video game icon than Sonic ever could be

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Mario, although Kirby pwns all.

 

[So]

Mario. Sonic was great, but it got tiring after a while.

 

[Wallydraigle]

Although Sonic was no slouch, Mario just outclasses him.

The only thing Sonic had on Mario was his Saturday morning cartoon.

 

[Chompman]

Sonic was just to fast to be any fun really.

Dreamcast should had helped sega more since that console was great at the time.

Mario 3 the best in the series.

 

[Toastedlightly]

What would happen if Sonic and Mario teamed up!?

 

[lokiju]

The thing that probably hurt Sonics popularity also is that when the NES and Sega Master System were out at the same times Mario was going strong on Nintendo's side while Sega didn't have Sonic until the Sega Genesis days, years later, at least from what I remember.

that's not even a fair comparison

Mario had a cartoon too. It had live-action parts with Captain Lou the wrestler, who kicks vast quantities of ass I might add.

The first time I saw Mario 64 I was like :Q

Since then nothing has been as awesome at first sight

i was up til 4AM trying to complete the first level as fast as possible last night
(got down to 30 secs)

 

[RedCOMET]

on a good day, i can beat sonic 2 within 2 hrs, getting all the choas emeralds and over 100 rings a level. In the end, i had a wicked high score with an insane amount of extra lifes and continuations.

But as much fun as i have playing sonic 2 on my sega genesis, I still play super mario 3 on my NES. I love playing through almost everyboard and getting as much 1-ups as possible.

Mario > sonic

Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best artifice ever crafted by the human race.

Some may say Super Mario World is better. They are wrong.

Fools.
