Who was the better mascot back in the day? Sonic or Mario? As much as I like Mario I'll have to choose Sonic. I just always thought he was really cool.

While I show much love for the weejee, I must give Mario his dues, sonic and him were similar at first, both starting in their platformer games, Sonic could run fast and had a bit of an advantage from the genesis's superior technology, but the mario games were more developed, and had more history. Sonic and Mario evolved differently too, Sonic and Mario took different routes on their consoles, Sonic's game series following the same strong formula and high adrenaline gameplay from sonic 1 to sonic and knuckles, whereas Mario branched out in a number of different directions on the SNES with Mario World, Yoshi's Island, and Mario RPG. Their first steps into 3D were remarkably different as well, Mario 64 was a unique and interesting game, and remains a well-liked platformer long after it's time had passed, where as Sonic's steps into 3D were... less graceful. Sonic and Mario are retired in my mind, Mario seems to have devoted himself to a variety of side-games and silly Wii games, whereas Sonic's last few games were not well received, however both characters have had some fantastic games for the DS and the GBA, the Sonic Advanced series was like a rehab for sonic, getting back to the enjoyable core gameplay after turning into a drugwhore addicted to 3D, whereas Mario has been able to release the equivalent of a few greatest hit albums with remakes of his SNES games, his puzzle series of Mario VS Donkey Kong were fun and sparked up that ancient rivalry from his days as Jumpman the carpenter, and the Superstar Saga and Partners in Time games were a real treat to play. I gotta give my vote to mario, he's a considerable figure in media and had a great deal of success compared to sonic, and quite frankly mario always beats sonic at brawl No offence to the little blue guy, I'm in fact glad that he and mario were able to patch things up and go brawling and go-carting and olympics-ing together, and sonic's cartoons were a little better than mario's, but overall the plumber from brooklyn takes this one for me.

Sonic is more appealing to the eye, but I enjoyed the Mario games more.

Two words combined into one...Megaman.
Mario has lost his appeal and Sonic, despite having the better cartoon than Mario, wasn't much better. Honestly this poll needs more options. I get that this is a better mascot thing but Mario never should have been booted from that position. Megaman and Link and arguably Donkey Kong being missing is a shame.
