Super Mario Versus Sonic the Hedgehog

Zeromage | August 10, 2008 | News | Misc

In this article the author explores who would win in a fight between Sega's mascot hero Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo's portly plumber, Super Mario.

Nintendo and Sega’s flagship heroes come face to face for the first time in this Old-Wizard melee of epic proportions. Who is the stronger hero? Mario looks like an average plumber but everyone who has ever picked up a controlled knows how strong he is. Sonic looks strong with his uber-cocky attitude and his needled back that surely wreaks damage on anyone who comes his way. Just picture it, Mario in the first Mario level coming across goombas and koopa troopas and then all of the sudden there’s Sonic standing in his way preventing Mario from jumping onto the flag and into the subterranean level. Would Mario be able to knock out the confident Sonic or would Mario be kept out from the rest of the game because of Sonic’s strength? This topic will be discussed in this article. Let the battle rage on.

Sonic is fast, and Mario is fat. Wow, what a matchup

Hate to say it but it sounds utterly biased to me.
Offense:
Apart from not mentioning Super Sonic, Mario wouldn't be able to TOUCH Sonic. Epic speed. And if that wasn't good enough, well lets toss in Sonic Wind (SA2) or his Homing Attack. If that doesn't work then well, just use Chaos Control to teleport that plumber into a fat pit or have Sonic tele himself like behind Mario and waste him. Alternatively could always slow/stop time and waste Mario. Either way you look at it, Mario can have all the suits and such he want, but if he can't see Sonic, or teleport himself, then he's wasted.
Defense:
I'm gonna say Sonic's speed is a good enough defense.
Accomplice:
Tails utterly wins, he builds robots and crap and is nearly as smart as Eggy. Plus he flies! Could drop Sonic from the air like a bomb on one fat plumber.
Appearance: Fat ugly plumber, or standing up hedgehog, with cool spikes? Um, spikes are cool, plumbers aren't.
Fans:
I'm not gonna go here.
Intelligence:
All Mario says is like 2-3 words? Mario! Woohoo! Yeehaa! Sonic can actually fracking talk. I think that alone makes him smarter.

  Small list of words that mario can say throughout his career,incomplete list(remember his voice actor in commercials count too)
  
  "It's a me,Mario!"
  "Thank you so much for playing my game!"
  "Come back here,Sonic!"
  "I'll get you!"
  "Get back here,you big monkey!"
  "Oh a no!"
  "Mario Kart,Wii!"
  "It's time for Mario kart!"
  "Woohoo!"
  "Lets a go!"
  "*insert hard to spell italian word here*,Bowser!"
  "Hello!"
  "Hey,Stinky!"
  "I am the winner!"
  "Luigi!"

      Don't talk about talking in terms of intelligence, broken English is still better than 'Let's show him the real super power of team work'. Besides Mario is Italian.
      
      Offensively, well for one thing we both know Sonic can't do Choas Control for the life of him. What do you think knocked Shadow who seems to have it master back into the atmosphere. Admit it, it fits perfectly as to why Sonic uses it so little, it brings him back to that moment.
      
      As for defense, between the cape and speed I don't think either could get a hit in.
      
      As for the back up, Luigi and Yoshi versus Tails and Knuckles. Knuckles would get eaten and turned into an egg. Tails would shoot down Yoshi who would run off (both of those are already out but alive). Luigi would jump on the plane and fireball the plane. Knocking the choas emerald out. The Choas Emerald would become unstable and react to Luigi to create a negative zone which would give Tails a glimpse of his own dark side that he has begun to to let grow inside him. Eventually they would both snap out of it bu the battle would be long over.

  Well, at least you can't say that Mario has a bad voiceactor. All the Sonic characters voices are shitty.

  It's not his head, he puts his hand up above his head. Are you people blind or something?

Hot or cold? Mario or Sonic? God: Real or not? Is America's government corrupt or inefficient?

These questions won't be answered in our lifetimes, folks, so take the time and get some fresh air.

_{This is a landslide, Sonic would win, but thats cause i've read the comics, played the games and Watched the animated TV series to know how sonic can fight.

All sonic needs to do is run fast and spin and knock out tubby Mario and he's done. But then again Im biased for Sonic Since I liked him over mario.}

I was half expecting the article to say "neither; Master Chief is superior".
