Reverend Jax Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 So I was looking at upcoming Wii games on Gamestop's site, and I saw this And it took me back to my younger 16-bit days, arguing with my friend over who was cooler, Mario or Sonic. So vote for nostagia's sake.
The NZA Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 this...isnt fair. Mario's still high on his horse, Sonic hasnt been cool (sadly) since the Dreamcast. I guess ill go with Mario now and Sonic in the day, but i wanna give him time to recover.
Jables Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 SOnic'd win a fight, there's no two ways about that. Unless of course Mario were to be like the Batman of Nintendo, in which case he'd whip out juiced-up kryptonite boxing gloves & beat Sonic's arse down. Sonic Now, Mario then though. Mario now just makes me think of Mario sunshine, and that game fucking sucked.
The NZA Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 youre like the only other one ive known who fetl that game was lacking. After Mario 64, it just didnt do...i have hopes for Galaxy, tho Paper Mario is the goods. I want to love Sonic, but even a few weeks with Sonic Rings on the wii showed me why an "on-the-rails" game just didnt cut it, winger soundtrack-be-damned.
Ganny McVagflaps Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 This brings me back to an argument me and this one kid would have when we were in first class. I was a Sonic man, but he was all Mario. Motherfucker even said Mario was faster. Then again, the same kid played hooky right outside of school and we all watched him walk past the window around the third class of the day so he wasn't the brightest fellow. In my old age however, I just gotta love that moustacheoid wop. Especially since Super Mario Kart in either it's SNES or 64 format is my desert island game.

No I didn't enjoy Mario Sunshine either, you cleaned up Graffiti, I mean he's a plumber, not a highschool janitor... though he does have sideburns...
Reverend Jax Posted April 24, 2007 Author Posted April 24, 2007 In my old age however, I just gotta love that moustacheoid wop. Man, in Paper Mario, every fucking character Mario talks to chimes in regarding his mustache. Goodguys compliment him on it, saying it's a sign they can trust him, bad guys jealously proclaim his mustache isn't as cooler as theirs. I love this game.
the division of joy Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 i've always, and will always think sonic is cooler...
Iambaytor Posted April 24, 2007 Posted April 24, 2007 He used to be, but not anymore. He could still kick Mario's stereotypical ass.
alive she cried Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 back in the day sonic, no doubt. i don't know enough of the more recent games to judge nowadays, but in my heart i think sonic.
Jables Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Yeah, Mario's a big fat sell-out Lex Luthor motherfucker. Sonic died in his prime.
Stilly Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 I lost my faith in Sonic when Sonic Heros came out...
The NZA Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 yeah, that's about the landmark of crap, now that you mention it. people really didnt dig all of sonic's friends, as it turned out.
Jables Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 I still haven't played Shadow, which I'm incredibly curious about. It looked alright, actually.
The NZA Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I thought so too for all of a moment, but man, reviews are like all-time low. "Dark sonic with a gun" wasnt one of those concepts i felt they were always "holding back".
Jables Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Using a gun Versus say, curling up and hurling yourself at your enemies with great fucking speed is an option even the Metroid series could use. Morph bombs just don't cut the mustard I'm afraid.
Drifter Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Hedgehogs need guns AND motorcycles And that ring addiction can't be healthy for them, either.
mklucifer Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 sonic is the best mario is annoying always sliping on and off block has no grip when running mario sucks. Sonic kewl n spiked gets ne where n a flash n luvs 2 crush robots. i will admit his 3d games are kinda bad, but his old stuff is still the best. paper mario is basicly old mario that can flip sides how week is that, it sounds like their just running out of ideas.yoshi is the only raw character out their n mario world.
Reverend Jax Posted May 15, 2007 Author Posted May 15, 2007 The gap is closing, but there's no doubt about one thing, Mario has come a long way in public opinion since "back in the day."
Drifter Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Well, in the long haul, Mario is the Baddass with the Italian Maffia connections while Sonic is just some angsty Hedgehog. Of course everyone back in the day thought that since Sonic was on a next gen system compared to the NES (16bit v. 8bit) that Sonic was the next great thing... and mostly the Sonic cartoons were better than Mario's.
