Regardless of the choice, they are both console games; therefore they suck.

IMO, Super Mario World is the epitome of platform games, with SM3 flollowing right on it's tail.

The level deisgn is genius, the controls are spot on, and it still has replay value (96 levels, and some with multiple exits). I still play it occasionally.

If Warp Zone is excluded as a set of stages, the entire game has a total of 90 accessible levels (as well as fifteen "lost levels" only accessible by hacking the game). It is therefore considered one of the largest classic games of all time, having more than the 32 levels of Super Mario Bros, more than the 32 levels of Super Mario Bros. Special, more than the 52 of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan), and more than the 72 of Super Mario World (it is often mistakenly assumed that Super Mario World has 96 stages, but that number includes the 24 secret exits in the game).

Mario Kart 64 on its own > All Sonic racing games, ever

Super Mario Kart > Mario Kart 64

IMHO.

I never liked SMK that much, MK64 was more fun to play and racing with the d-pad on the SNES was fvcking tough. SMK was definitely better than Double Dash though, didn't find it as fun as the previous two MK games.

this is a very bad poll....

which mario bros are we talking here? 1, 2, 3, new?

it can't be mario bros 1 because comparing that to sonic is like comparing apples to oranges....

It's not that difficult: All Mario games vs All Sonic games

I don't think so - Topic title says Super Mario Bros - I think that means a specific game and not the franchise.

Had both and loved both but SMB FTW all the way.

Hmm.. well then, you'd have to assume that the OP:

1) Meant the first of each series names
2) Doesn't know that "super" denotes a specific game
3) Just made an interesting poll without spending 18+ hours researching the history and re-writing several dozen drafts just to get the exact wording down to avoid any ambigutiy that might arise 50 posts into the thread.

I'm going with #3.

Sonic games all look and play the same. Every SMB game feels different, not to mention all the great cross platform games it pumped out. SMB for the 1st GB system was OMFGWTFBBQPEEINMYPANTSORGASMICLYAWESOME.
