  • A classic: Mario or Sonic ?

I say Mario. Definitely. Don't get me wrong. Mario has it all: the music, the sidekick (awesome Luigi), the princess (Peach), the Bowser, the Koopa, the Toad, and ... Yoshi!! I used to love Yoshi (he WAS pretty helpful in the game).
i say sonic !!!!!!!!!
simple gameplay and fun ! gotta collect all the rings, find hidden 1ups and kill that boss at the end .
tales is very helpful starting with in the second two players gameplay = more fun
lol rahmu.. good topic.

we miss a good friendly flame war about something from the good old days

sadly.. i am none.. i know, i missed my childhood ( maybe i am too young for mario and sonic ) or errrr too girlish

for old games check out this site : www.coolrom.com and pick up sonic not super mario
is prince of persia there ? I miss that game :P
yeah every single old console game ! just download the right emulator for it
i used to be addicted to both, and it's definitely mario who wins!!!!
it's just that in the beginning, the graphics on sonic were better (the sega megadrive was much newer than the NES), and the game gear had color while the game boy was black and white... so it was just a matter of better graphics for sonic. but mario still owns...
My vote goes to Super Mario which I used to play on the Sega Mega Drive since the days I was like 6 years old :P Sonic is a great game that used to play too, but I used to enjoy Super Mario more. :)
:( im the only loyal sonic fan here :(
i choose both ... both are fun to play :P i still play mario and i played sonic unleashed
ballouta wrotei still remember the sonic on the little Nintendo screen :P
How can that be ? Sega and Nintendo where the ultimate enemies ! sonic was Sega's most powerful exclusive and Mario for Nintendo.
if you don't get it try to picture Sega as Microsoft and Nintendo as Sony ! Sony won't accept any of its awesome exclusives on the 360.

sonic on the little Nintendo screen :P that the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard.
hahah i was to small too remember :/ lol :P

Irrelevant comparison. Whereas Sonic was a first-party Sega title, Final Fantasy never was a Sony proprietary title. It was Squaresoft's/Square-Enix's, and it was on Nintendo until its seventh iteration.

Until Sony goes the way of the Sega (completely wiped out of the gaming hardware market), I don't see any first-party titles, like God of War or Uncharted, go to X360 or any non-Sony console.
Although Mario is generally recognized as the number 1 gaming mascot, I'll have to go with Sonic. All sonic games were kickass until the jump into 3D was made.
Mario !

My favorite game was Prince of persia on my intel 386 33mhz ( turbo 66mhz) with win 3.11 installed !!
Have you seen the vid of what whappens when Mario gets to princess Peach?
Or the t-shirt with the photo of Mario that says "I Want you to F...* the Princess" (*: Find)
