    Speaking of "who's the better game character" polls, I''m gonna go make one.Mario is way better, in my opinion, just because it doesn't have many bad games.Sonic...not so much.

    I'm 50/50.

    Sonic had the best TV show (re: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog), Mario has the better games.

    Mario for sure, I've never been a fan of sonic. Wierd, I was actually going to make a mario vs. sonic thread :p.
  • edited September 2008
    I've gotten to the point where I'm sick of both. Some newer franchises would be nice.
  • edited September 2008
    Never played Mario yet sadly, but loved Sonic as a kid. Was gonna borrow Mario at the weekend from work but I went for Lego Indiana instead. I'm desperate to though so I think it's going to be my next one. I feel ashamed for not playing it yet!

    I half disagree and agree, I'd rather not have no more mario games, but I'd also like some new franchises.

    Okay okay, don't panic.There's a step by step program for this.
    1.Go to Babbage's
    2.Go to the Wii games section(and buy a wii if necessary)
    3.Pick up Super Mario Galaxy
    4.Take it to the checkout line
    5.Buy it
    6.Hurry home and play that freakin' thing!!!!!

    While you are at Babbages, get some wii points and download the original mario game for the NES off of virtual console too.
    edit: Get super mario rpg there, too. Yay, it finally came on virtual console!

    2000 more just for Super Mario Worldand Super MArio 64.

    Buying a game without any indication of whether or not you'd enjoy it is generally a bad idea. The only Mario games I've enjoyed personally are the spin-offs. The other games have high production values, I know. I still feel like they aren't particularly my cup of tea(the original Donkey Kong excluded).

    ...Actually, and I'm sure I'm the only person with this view, I find the Wario games far more enjoyable than Mario games.

    I love Sonic, for the most part. There are still a couple good games here and there, it's just that they've lost a lot of what made the series great. I'm possibly the only Sonic fan looking forward to Unleashed, it looks pretty good to me. Yeah, the werewolf bit raises an eyebrow or two. But I'll give it a shot. The series has been experimenting with different gameplay dynamics since the second and third games, so I can comfortably say that I'm willing to give Sonic a shot.

    I agree, actually.

    Were-hog.
    In all seriousness, I'm just hoping to see Sonic finally get back on his feet. He's had some crappy games as of late (the not-very-good Sonic Heroes, the just plain bad Shadow the Hedgehog, and the affront to all that is good and holy known as Sonic 2006... is what I would say if such a game existed), but I think they can pull it off if they put some time and thought into it.
    I actually liked both the Sonic Adventure games, despite some bad design decisions (GO TO HELL BIG THE GOD DAMNED CAT). Seriously... fishing? Slow-paced shooter levels? Even the treasure hunt stages were questionable, but I actually liked those.

    I'm never touching the game again.Not because of bad gameplay, but of big the jackass and discovering you can't skip the tutorial.I can't tell if I wanted to choke the tutorial's narrator, or myself.AND I HAD TO GO THROUGH IT TWICE.

    OK, made up my mind. Sonic, because he has a better nemesis.

    Seriously?!Eggman, a better nemisis than Bowser?!That'll be the day.

    Sonic, totally. He is a waaaaaaay better character than Mario, & I say this owning more Mario games than Sonic. I mean, the storyline for the new Sonic games would've been great if those retards at Sonic Team would get their s@#t together.

    No Robotnik. ):<<<

    And the only canon Robotnik to me, is the one from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, voiced by Long John Baldry.

    Both, as proved by Super Smash Bros. Brawl. (But not both in the Olympics, as proved by Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.)

    I AGREE!!!!!!



    oh, and I didn't make the poll multi-choice.....
  • edited October 2008
    The full name is Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik. Same person, just a dramatically different character design. The Sonic team in America backed down from 'Eggman' due to a fear of copyright claims.

    :D

    Pick one, eh? In that case, I' have to pick Sonic, but only for his incredible speed. (Actually, because he's a better player in Brawl, in my opinion, unless you're playing on a small stage, in which case he tends to run off and kill himself.)
  • edited October 2008
    I voted Sonic for some reason, Mario would definitely would win.

    In Brawl, I don't think he's "Good", I think he's "Cheap".

    Mario. And to demonstrate my point, I give you this:

    I mean, the Mario movie was bad, but it was fun to watch. This... just, no. Such terrible voice acting...
  • edited October 2008
    I've actually watched that.


    Highlights: Sonic flipping the bird, Tails accidentally groping a girl.

    Great, now I have to watch this crapfest of a film because of those things.

    Actually, I thought the guy who did Sonic's voice was kinda good. As Sonic, heck no. But he sounds like he could do something else, I knew what it was but I can't put my finger on it...

    No clue.

    Someone from Texas? Oh, and if you want to see Tails's scene, it's about 30 seconds into this. Oh, and you simply must watch about 9:30 into this.

    Great, know I have to watch this whole movie.
    Facial Expressions are hilarious, cannot stop laughing at that horrible posing or something in that second link, dear god what a bad movie... Holy crap, was Sarah breastfeeding at 5:18??!?!? Also, was that Flip-The-Bird part in that second link? Because I can't see it.

    No, it was in part one or two.

    I'm from Texas, and I don't talk like that.There are a lot of people who do, though...

    "Cheap"? I'm not sure why I'm defending Sonic, I rarely use him (Kirby's my #1 choice, and not because of his special attack, I never use that; eating people and stealing their powers, now THAT'S cheap), but I don't see how he's cheap. Please explain, if only to ail my questioning mind.

    1. He's practically the best character to have because during a Slow-Mo time item is in effect, he goes WAY faster than the other characters.
    2. His kick in the air will make it so he can easily run away from the opponent before they can get up.
    3.He's freaking IMPOSSIBLE to beat on his stage. *as long as he's not on difficulty level 1-4*

    sorry im a little late to the sonic heroes part but that was like my 2 fav game in the world (kingdom hearts is my first)and the 2 strange things are that i never actually bought it i just rented it and that im the kind of person who picks characters by look not by status or somthing like that and chaotix was my fav but then i tried all teams and i realized that rose (or whatever it was called) team was actually my best and i almost beat the game with them.:confused:
