sonic is better than mario
sorry, but that's my opinion. the mario series has just been using "bowser kidnaps peach using the same method" over and over again, and it's just gotten boring. but in the sonic games, something different happens every time (even if eggman i just the cause of it.) mario's abilities are just jump pound fire while sonic has a whole set of abilities. their personalities. sonic: cares for his friends. mario: time to sacrifce-a the yoshi! the music in mario: good. the music in sonic: BANGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! and finally, super sonic could beat invincible mario in a fight any day, since super sonic lasts longer.

Mario is more of a laid back feel-good tone compared to Sonic's high energy high attitude feel. Mario's strength is in precision platforming, while Sonic's is more about speed. I tend to like Mario characters more but there's basically no lore or story. Mario also tends to fare substantially better in the polish and aging departments, but I could never get into 3D Mario at all (only exception being 3D Land). I really loved select 3D Sonic titles though, and I mostly enjoyed the 2D ones with the exception of 1.

It's just too close for me to call, haha.

Gotta agree on the music, though. Mario's ranges from perfectly serviceable to really good, while Sonic's is consistently incred.

Duh… I thought we knew this already.

Mario has basically stayed the same throughout his series, but Sonic has undergone multiple changes in tone and personality. I say bring back Sonic's original 90's aloof yet serious in a clutch moment personality.
Spyro is better than both of them.

I enjoy the fully 3D games like Galaxy and Odyssey, but the sidescrollers have a cheap feeling and presentation.
Thankfully, it looks like the upcoming Wonder is about to change all of that. Here's hoping the same can be said about Superstars as well.

sonic was at his best when he was a cool action alternative to mario, back when we had sonic riders instead of wack kart racing and the adventure games with dark plots. i use to see the sonic franchise as Teen or older but then they started copying mario and changing things. now hes just in a weird spot hence sonic frontiers and all the characters not knowing wtf to do with themselves in a game that doesnt even know what it is or trying to be.
