Sonic Allstars vs Mario Kart

[ON3HUNDR3D GOLD]

First off I can't really compare the graphics for Sonic to Mario, because it blows it out the water. With Sonic being the most awesome looking kart game i've seen to date with 1080p everything on high. So colorfull and excellent wacky level deigns. Being able to transform is a great new feature. Great Characters to pick from, with cool power ups. Mario for Wii is the last Mario Kart game I think I can remember. What you guys think is a better game overall?

My luck-based weapon pool is more fair than your luck-based weapon pool.

Hey hows the first allstar game is it good? I know this is better, but is it worth my time to get it?

Mario Kart < Sonic!

We will wait to see for MK 8. I heard about Mario and Sonic winter games that seems pretty cool. They should make Sonic vs Mario Kart racing.

I wouldn't recommend it, it's ridiculously easy once you're good at Transformed.

The latest one would be Mario Kart 7 actually.

I prefer Mario Kart, but both are great games, I suppose it's mainly to do with if you prefer Nintendo design or SEGA design.

Although in a few ways, I really appreciate Sonic Transformed, mainly for being a Diddy Kong racing sequel.

I like both games equally but we'll see how Mario Kart Wii U will fair coming very soon next year I think its gonna be March or April when released but ya ever since SNES I have been a fan of mostly mario kart but Since I got Sonic for PC its now harder to decide which I like more so for me it's a tie :)!

The only thing the original S&SASR does better, in my opinion of course, is that the all-star moves are more "fun". Slower in speed, but more varied than "turn into your jet mode for 10 seconds and fire projectiles or melee-range swing attack".

Apparently so much fun, in fact, that they weren't nominally usable online. But that doesn't matter in the PC port (what is online multiplayer???/ lol I dunno)

Or in Gum's case, lay down heart mines.

I knew someone would chime in with that, haha.

Sonic === Mario, but Sonic has more challenge.

My favorite MK was Double Dash, I have SASRT since last Sunday, I'm 22 hours in, and without a doubt it's far better than any MK i've played.
More fun, more skill-based, faster, better races, much more intelligent level-design. And a challenging single-player.

SART=CTR>MK

Mario Kart has always been extremely casual. There is a little bit of skill available, but rubberbanding and item spam always gets the better of it.

Crash Team Racing was fantastic in the sense that it was a better version of MK64. The items were almost the same, but the tweaked drift boost mechanic combined with the fact that there was almost no rubberbanding left most of the game up to player skill. YOU got to the shortcuts. YOU did your boosts correctly.

SART is more comparable to MK7 though. However, the face value of each is the only comparison. SART's items aren't direct copies as there are different uses for each. The control of the game is based almost entirely on player skill. Each obstacle you encounter requires the player to react in a certain way. After putting in so many hours, the AI becomes a breeze (if not, just a slight annoyance) even on expert races. The game EXPECTS you to use the online feature because the developers aren't idiots and know that they cannot predict a skill limit of the players. If I come in first in a race that means I'm better at the game, go practice.

Mario Kart doesn't do this. Countless time in MK7 and in MKDD I have led a race only to be blue shell'd and stuck in last. AGAINST BOTS. In the series' attempt to make races fair for all parties, skilled or not, it lets down those who put effort into being good. Rubberbanding is the absolute BANE of a racing game, kart racer or not. In both SART and CTR i have overlapped opponents many a time, but i have never done so in any Mario Kart game (even on 50CC!).

But I guess thats my opinion.
