Sonic was origianally the best of the best, taking the gaming world(which wasn't to big at the time) by storm. And it did the same for me, and as mario appeared, most people started to go for that, yet Sonic was still the best to me at the time.
Wasn't Mario around
ages before Sonic? :?: ? IF anyone took the gaming world by storm, it was the little fat Itallian bloke.
I never really got into Sonic, the games were all too fast and bored the life out of me. The Mario games,
except for the first one, SMB2 which wasn't really a Mario Game originally anyway and the original Donkey Kong, are GREAT! SMB1/3/World, are classics! I don' like the newer stuff in 3D, all the stuff after what was on the Super Nintendo are a bit anoying, and the almost monthly release of a new Mario game is starting to get even more irritating.
Anyway, all Sonic can do is run and jump, Mario can run/jump/swim/fly/throw fireballs or hammers/ride dinosaurs/repair a leaky tap, he's a one-man Navy SeALS unit!
Sonic and Tails?... PAH :x
The old Maio cartoon was GREAT... "we're the Mario Brothers, and plumbin's our game, found a secret warp while we were woring on the drain..." need I say more?
Also, Mario's music was FAR better, it's been used in loads of songs in Japan, like that one by HaliCali(?) and that really funny one earlier this year that I can't remember the name of but was full of Mario related lyrics.
By the way. Does anyone remember that TV advert for SEGA with that bloke (apparently handsome, but I remember him as just plain ordinary) who lived in a hi-tech trailer or something that was all black and shiny and played SEGA games all the time? Wansn't that a Sonic advert?
I'll say it again:
Sonic and Tails?... PAH :x
