The two have been rivals throughout the years, and while Mario has enjoyed much more commercial success they are both still very recognizable figures in the gaming industry. Who do you like better?

My first videogame was Sonic 2 and he has been one of my favorite videogame characters since. I definitely like Mario, though not getting a chance to play a lot of his games till the Wii came along, but I just think Sonic is a very cool character. It's a shame he can't get a developer to do a decent videogame with him of late. :/

Psh @ Sonic... when Sonic is around he's always following by teen punk music and horrendously cheesy phrases... *shudders*

Mario is better cause pretty much all of his main games are excellent, he's got a great attitude and he's always there for Peach... who really needs Mario XD those two were made for each other... I'm glad things didn't work out with him and Pauline, but at least Pauline puts out ... all in all, he has my respect.

Seeing as my first console was a Genesis and my first game was probably the original Sonic I have to go with Sonic, although Super Mario World could convince me otherwise, the fact that Mario is whore'd out to every conceivable spin-off is tiring and annoying. Plus Sonic gets my sympathy vote because of how far he has fallen from his Genesis glory days.

You mean like Mario Kart (excellent), Mario [Sport] (most of which are excellent, anyone who has played Mario Golf, Mario Tennis and Mario Soccer... you can't tell me those aren't very well made games), Mario Party (Not my thing but the people who it targets seem to love it), Mario RPG and Paper Mario (come on, how can you not like these?), Mario & Luigi (another one you just cannot have anything against because they're just so great and funny)... and... hmm, I know I'm forgetting one or two more... well, either way, Mario may get whored out... but he's a damn good whore

We all know Mario's main games are brilliant and the spin-off ones can be just as great in their own right... what has Sonic done for us lately?

I can't understand how anyone likes Sonic over Mario XP

The reason Sonic fails so badly is because all he can do is run and that's his thing. Try to add any more to that and the game breaks down and you get 10+ years of sucky Sonic games. This isn't just "recent"... we haven't seen a good Sonic game in a LONG TIME. He's done, Sega should let him go and focus on their list of other franchises and also to make new ones like they did with Valkyria Chronicles.

Cool? As in being followed around by generic teen punk music?

Hey the music for Sonic 2 and 3 was great. As for the new games, I don't think I've even played any of the recent ones...
