I only played sonic and mario during the nes/master system and snes/mega drive eras and haven't ever touched either of those games in their later incarnations. So at that time sonic was faster, more action packed, had better graphics and imo a more entertaining story. Sonic also had better cartoons (again imo). So I vote Sonic. Honestly though, Link and Wonderboy are better than both of these characters. Sega should have stuck with wonderboy instead of introducing a new mascot. And to have Link play second fiddle to Marrio is ridiculous imo.
urgh, this feels so 1992, but i voted anyway. even with the atrocious efforts sega have pumped out recently, the mega drive years of sonic just can't be tainted for me. as hard as i try to hate sonic team for what they've done to him.
Sonic had one of the most action packed story board and graphics were way better than now ^^ but then with mario you can't forget the mario theme song =D (easily get's into ur head and it's hard to get the theme out of ur head...)
Marios new games arent totally **** like the new sonics, however the old sonics were far better than the old marios. Im not a nintendo person so im voting sonic
I perfered the old sonic games than the newer one they were really some realy good childhood memeories...
If you ignore anything newer than the megadrive games, Sonic. Something about the actual character of Mario just annoys me All the recent Sonic games are absolute abominations though
Yea you don't get the running sonic game anymore.... and recent one are like THERE NOT EVEN CLASSIC! and the real mario is creepy...
Not at all. I agree with you. Both Sonic and Mario were big parts of my childhood's video gaming experience. I still pull out my old Sonic and Mario games and play them. They're timeless in my eyes...unlike the games of today. But with that being said I had to side with Mario. He came first for me.
I think mario 64 and mario sunshine were great and were much more fun than most of the 2d marios. Mario World was awesome though
This needs a link because it's just so goddamn funny, even though everyone who would consider reading this thread has probably watched it already: Zero Punctuation on Sonic Unleashed
Definitely gotta vote for Mario, it didn't specify whether or not sonic had all the chaos emeralds yet. So i go with the safe choice.
