Raven Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Today's poll is a face-off between popular video game mascots Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario: Mascots of SEGA and Nintendo, respectively. Vote for your most favoured of the two. The winner will be whoever receives the most votes within the time limit. Depending on how many vote, or how close the votes are, the poll will last either 24 hours or 48 hours. The next Battle of the Populars may involve something totally different. It may be sports, game-related, celebrity, food... Whatever comes into my mind. So get your vote in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malexis Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Sonic! :o I always liked his awesome spiky head. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 No offense to Sonic or anything, but he didn't single-handedly bring back video games from the crash of 1983. Vote: MARIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracohon Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario. I like his games better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario, despite his franchise being overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 What pulled me to vote for Sonic was his great 2D games (namely Sonic 3 & Knuckles), and his first 3D games, Adventure and Adventure 2. Mario 64 was good, but I found I enjoyed Sonic's games more enjoyable, even if they were easier in most cases. Alot more memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Rey León Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario still has good games. Sonic's been dead since Adventure 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK-201 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario has the same plot for the most part out of what I've seen. Galaxy, paper, Super Star and its sequel are exceptions. Sonic's has a varying storyline and can do a certain thing called talking with intelligence ironically more than Mario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I agree. It's also Sonic's personality that influences here, the character, not his games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario has no personality. Sonic should technically win this, but I guess everyone is going by the games, which I suppose is understandable I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario? *withholds murderous rage* >_< I HATE that Italian sewer hopping, plunger toting, Princess rescuing, mushroom flattering, turtle bouncing, shell tossing, all on footing, fire shooting, genre perpetuating, pop tart sucking bastard!!

Phoenix = Bowser? Anyway, this is hard for me. Seeing as how I like both of them equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) I like both, the problem is though that actually Mario games(like 64, Sunshine, Galaxy) are quite challenging as to complete them and that's what makes them enjoyable, as far as the plot is concerned: WHO CARES if it is the same? still it is better to have a common storyline and good gameplay than having a good plot with mediocre to awful sometimes gameplay...(after all the plot seems to remain quite catchy) Edited March 4, 2010 by Sask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) @Soul: Your opinion is accepted, but most people will choose mario because of his games and because he is their favorite since they were palying his games on NES/SNES (and as far as we can see it doesn't seem that Sonic's personality wins over that) Edited March 4, 2010 by Sask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 It's not just an opinion, it's the way it HAS to be. Noticed how it asks clearly "Your favourite of these two legendary mascots?" and not "Who has the best games?"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who should be winning is another story, Mario is winning right now because he has sold many more games(that's what makes him more popular not his personality), (and to be honest yes Sonic is more social and inteligent as a character in his games) Edited March 4, 2010 by Sask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Mario for me. I've never gotten into any Sonic games, I don't "get" them. That probably sounds silly coming from somebody who enjoyed Doctor Mario, but it's the flat truth. It's not just an opinion, it's the way it HAS to be. Noticed how it asks clearly "Your favourite of these two legendary mascots?" and not "Who has the best games?"? Calm down bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
