Sonic vs Mario
Are there any users on this forum that love Sonic much more than Mario Bros?
I know Super Mario Bros. is a classic and most likely the most popularized game on Earth, but I honestly think the original Sonic games were better. (Particularly Sonic the Hedgehog 2) They are both 2-D, continuously running across the screen games, and obviously Mario is older so it has less features than Sonic, but Sonic had better music and better gameplay.

I am the opposite! I LOVE old Sonic games, but I am a much bigger fan of Mario. I wish Sonic transitioned to 3D as well as Mario did.
All of Sonic's games in this generation/era have not been successful, but only because they have so much to amount to if they wanted to be as significant!

Mario is better simply because Nintendo is better at making games than Sega.
The older Sonic games are a bit too one-dimensional. Mario games have a bit more variety, within the games and between them. There's not a whole lot of difference in what you do in Sonic 1 versus Sonic 3, but Mario 1 and Mario 3 are a world apart. And, like Sephex said, the 3D Mario games have been outstanding while Sonic didn't make the transition nearly as well.

Sonic 2 was an excellent platformer but it can't match Mario for gameplay. Nintendo edge it on so many levels. Control of character, level ingenuity and simple, magical touches that stick in your memory.
Also... the music. Koji Kondo is an absolute genius. Sonic (and Sega) had nothing on Nintendo music.
I prefer playing Mario. And probably the characters of Mario too. Sonic was pretty cool, but what they did with the storyline with the Sonic Adventure games were smurfing unbearable and disgusting

The voice acting and attempt at drama was the worst ever
Despite the fact that I like the Sonic franchise (Sonic 1-3) better, I have to begrudgingly admit that I have accumulated more fun playing 2D Mario titles.

Every track in Sonic 2 were gems. All the other games have a great music too. Obviously the music are classic, but in Mario, the music was too repetitive for me.

As games, I'd have to agree with Del, but as character Sonic is better, but then again most things are better than Italian stereotypes.

And also because many of them have been utter trout by their own merits. Sonic '06 was so bad, Sega actually removed it from Xbox 360's Games on Demand service because it hurts the brand so much.
And even the utter trout ones have been successful, at least financially.
I really enjoy playing both franchises (as in Mario up to Mario 64 or so-- although honestly I thought Rare made the better 3D platformers-- and Sonic up to about Sonic 3&K). I'm not so sure I can choose a favorite.
Sonic is blatantly better if you only count Sonic the Hedgehog through to Sonic and Knuckles.
