Mario or Sonic?

I've had a Sega Megadrive and Master System for the last 7
years (got the MD 4 years ago) and last November bought a
SNES and in January bought a Gameboy Color. These are the
only consoles I have ever had and ever prolly will have. I
still lvoe Sonic for its classicness, but I really like
Mario aswell... Sonics still number 1 though ;)

Which are your faves?

Mario, obviously!

Sonic games are fun, but shallow... you can just roll up
into a little ball and zoom your way through the levels at
warp speed...

Mario games, on the other hand, have depth hidden under all
that kiddy cuteness... every Mario game has revolutionized
gaming... EVERY SINGLE platform innovation is from Mario
games! Power ups, map screens, warp zones, multiple routes,
it's all Mario... Sonic is Mario's bitch, it's Mario for
people with no attention span!

Mario 64 is still the best pure 3-D platformer ever,
everyone rips it off, but can't top it. And since Shigeru
Miyamoto is working on Mario Sunshine, you can be damn sure
that's going to have FLAWLESS gameplay if you've got the
brains to look past the kid's stuff!

LOve both...although i prefer the music in Sonics...this
isn't kids stuff at all. However,it was a pain in the ass
getting that emerald in that hangglider....}:>

I'd say mario. Childhood memories beside, there was much
more diverse franchise baised out of mario than sonic. They
put out a bunch of RPG's, 3 differen Tetris style games, a
bunch Racing games, street fighter style games and more
(especially if you take into account all the spinoff games
baised on individual characters) on top of the 5 (or more)
super mario games. What did they release for sonic? Pinball.
And it was pretty much along the same vein as all the other
sonic games out there.

Every Mario game redefines their genre... people rip off
Shigeru's ideas left and right, just like with Zelda. But
every Sonic game, like Mega Man, are just rehashes of the
same light speed formula.

Mario is the Beatles of video games, Sonic is the AC/DC...
or something.

Rob, I agree, Sonic has KICK ASS music. Zophar.net has all
the soundtracks for every Sonic game, and they are fucking
doozies... brilliant stuff.

SONIC. All mario has is plumbers crack. I mean seriously
think about it, a world saving plumber?

i love both... i don't have any sonic games because i only
have snes, n64 and ps2, but sonic is part of my childhood...
used to play it at my cousin's house... :)

as for the characters, i prefer sonic, but mario is more
innovative... and they both have their own style

Points: 17716 Status: Lurker



is mario really saving the world? i thought he was only
saving his beloved princess... ;)

anyway — one man saving the world is a stupid and
unoriginal idea. but a plumber, plump, with a silly red cap,
eating magic stars and mushrooms, constantly saving a stupid
princess from a dinosaur — that's absurd and
original! that's cool! ^^

believable? only as long as he doesn't take magic mushrooms,
doesn't jump as he do in computer games, nor take magic
flowers and throw fire balls... ;)

dont tell me youve never thrown the odd fireball after a big
night1 and as for teh magic mushrooms...i agree hes not
setting a good example for the kids but its best they learn
now rather then when its too late....

And what does Sonic do? he beats up machines and steals
their rings. Not good lesson for kids in the slightest!!!

Sunshine looks shit hot!

anyone who thinks sonic is better is tripping. mario is a
pimp. does anyone rember the original show, when mario and
luigi would introduce it, and a short zelda segment would
come on at the end? that was tight. mamamia!

Sonic
I should like Mario more as a Nintendo-fan, but I think I
had more fun playing sonic games. I liked the level design
more, it had better music and is less childish. SM64 is a
great game but its camera annoys the hell outta me!

Mario 64 is the greatest video game ever made, I don't think
a better game will come out for a LOOOONGGG time.

Only game that comes close is... Mario 3! :-)

downloaded snes and genesis emulators lately...
with sonic 1, 2, 3, K, and super mario world...

yeah, mario is more "deep", has more ideas (it's shigeru
miyamoto after all!)... but given the ambiance of the games
i can't deny i have a little preference for sonic 3. ' _ '
