In my neighbourhood, there are a lot of Nintendo fans and Sega fans (and even some Sony but rarely Microsoft) who love playing Mario and/or Sonic games but an argument has risen from this: which one is better? Fans from both sides have their arguments, from personal opinions, to just how strong they are in general, but to me, it's gotta be Sonic. He gives a nostalgia feeling to me, remembering the console war between Nintendo and Sega years ago, and the best part was, he got mad at you if you stopped playing his games. Also, he can speed dash and go faster than the speed of sound? How cool is that? Also, Mario's storyline is pretty repetitive. Save peach, peach, peach, and even other female protagonists here and there, it's getting bland. But, I do understand how Mario could be better because of his spinoff games, but still, Sonic is my favorite. I know my argument is pretty opinionated, but that's how people decide who's better! Now, who is your favorite? (Please note that I love Nintendo and its games so don't hate ) Also, you can make arguments about if Nintendo is better than Sega or vice versa.

ROCKYROCKEST : i like mario better than sonic but i still like sonic , way back in the day there was really competetive advertizing between nintendo and sega like one was, guy:look at the new snes camera guy:but wait whats this one over here its cheaper and better graphics and looks cooler i want to buy this one guy:you know your right salesman voice:sega do what nintendon't
pretty freaking competetive

I'm not that much into either of them, but I'll go with Mario.

Sonic games have remind pretty much the same at the core - run and get rings. Mario games often incorporate many more gimmicks and mechanics to spice things up each time.

Don't get me wrong, both of the series are great, but i find Mario to be superior on just that one note.

Even though as a character I prefer Sonic in my opinion Mario has better games especially as far as modern games go so I have to say Mario gets my vote.

ROCKYROCKEST : I prefer Mario. I mean, he has better Power-Ups, and with the invincible Star, he can easily crush Sonic, no matter wut happens. Sonic is meh to me.
