Easy, Mario.

When Mario is at his best, he is amazing and so in Sonic.

When Mario is at his worst, he is still good. Sonic is crap however.

Close thread. :wink:

According to GoogleFight, Mario beats Sonic by 9,020,000 to 4,780,000. And Google can't be wrong, can it?

Sonic is the main reason which has made me the video gamer I am today.

Even with his "Not so good" games he has now, I'm still sticking with him

So my vote goes to Sonic.

It's a bit like comparing the Mona Lisa with a piece of toilet paper I've wiped my arse on. Mario FTW.

Mario. Hands Down. Don't get me wrong, Sonic's cool, but Mario can do so much more. He's so classic.

Sega aren't taking Sonic's defeat in this poll very well...

Sonic, all the way. You can actually feel his personality when playing the games. Such a well defined character.

Mario, on the other had, is a boring fat bloke. Who cares if he shoots fireballs? So do many characters, it isn't exactly original. Sonic gets right in there and uses his physical strength and speed to take down enemies. Blue dudes hardcore, man! :lol:

But really it's for the same reason as PacSuit; Sonic the the reason I'm the gamer I am now.

hahahahahhahaaaa... oh wait.. you're serious... f*cking hell

I dont 'love' either of them to be honest, but Mario is inoffensive whereas SOnic is an awful character, about as appealing as chester cheeter, that insurance meerkat, or crazy frog.. utter rubbish.. an slick advertising executive's idea to be 'rad' and appeal to 'da kids' F*ck that blue c*ntbag

MArio's games are great to play, sonic games are awful.

Even Mario's bad games can offer some fun, whereas for the last trillion years since SOnic 2 on Megadrive there have been NO decent SOnic games, they are utter shovelware

so my vote goes for SOnic.. haha kidding, yeah Mario is much better, anyone who thinks otherwise should probably stop smoking the crack.

Oh, I'm sooooo terribly sorry I have an opinion that differs from yours. I shall change it immediately so we can all be nice little conformists.

Oh, and in the hope of making your head explode completely, what you say about Sonic pretty much sums up how I feel about Mario.

Excellent, just fill in the required 'change of opinion' form and send it to head office for processing.

Your second comment intrigues me as Mario is a bland, fat plumber made originally as he was easy to create with the limited pixels and whatnot.. so how can he compare to the awful characters I mentioned like crazy frog etc?? Your argument doesnt make any sense. Sonic on the other hand has 'yeah totally rad dude' and 'im so cool' leaking from every pore.

Has to be Mario after all the terrible Sonic games. Mario in a game means it's going to be good Sonic in one now guarantees it'll be average!

Of the 2, Mario.
Mario Kart, Super Mario 3, Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Party, Mario 64.
Sonic tries too hard, and apart from the original game, has never really managed to compete at the same level as the Nintendo flagship.
I honestly don't know why they continue the franchise, have you ever played Sonic Pinball? Absolutely tragic.

Even the Mario game on the Virtual Boy is better than any of Sonic's offerings.

To be honest the Virtual Boy Mario games are pretty decent, for a real test of Mario loyalty I'd suggest having a go at "I am a Teacher: Super Mario Sweater" on the FDS or maybe sampling the MSDOS related joys of "Mario Teaches Typing". :wink:
