Sonic vs. Mario
« on: June 09, 2001, 06:23:03 AM »
I believe it was EGM that first (pre-E3) rumored a secret Miyamoto game codenamed Piki.  Dead on the mark, right?  Well in the same breath, they also hinted at Sonic appearing as a hidden character in Super Smash Brothers: Melee.  Couple that with quotes (from the top of my head) like "If you\'re a fan of the Sonic Team, you\'ll want to buy a GCN" and you could really have something.

Anyway, it\'s a pretty weak rumor right now, but I\'ll be damned if this news doesn\'t bring out the coolest feeling I\'ve felt about videogames since I was 13.  I hope something comes from this rumor, because the idea of having Sonic and Mario beat the living hell out of each other is too good to pass up...  

This brings up two questions, though.  Would Nintendo do this assuming they might have to pay Sega royalties or would there be some other kind of agreement?  And... if they can get Sonic, why can\'t they buy off the rights to throw Crash Bandicoot in there, too?  That would be something.

Buy of the rights to Crash Bandicoot? I think Microsoft got them... along with Spyro, and Oddworld.

Yeah microsoft has Crash and Oddworld i don\'t know about Spyro, and altough it would be cool to see a game with all those characters it is highly unlikely.

Microsoft doesn\'t have Crash or Spyro because Crash is going to PS2 and GameCube and Spyro is is coming out for the GBA within a week.

Anyhoo, imagine how that would sell systems. Sonic and Mario together? GameCube would get a lot more popular just because of that.

Sonic as a secret character in a game, making GC more popular? Perhaps, but I highly doubt that Sonic will make an appear on many games - and even the one you mentioned in the new game, eik, might be just a "honour-visit" of the most vicious enemy of Mario ;)

But, Sonic is coming to GBA, so I believe it could make a larger appearance on GC as well.

Who knows? Let the future show us.

doesn\'t phase me a bit

I find Mario and Sonic very tired characters. I enjoyed Sonic more then Mario. But neither does a single thing for me

hey i don\'t think it would be bad - i mean people have been wanting to pair these two up in a video game for as long as they have existed

i don\'t know about it selling a lot more systems but it might make some sega/sonic fans reconsider a purchase

I\'d rather not see Sonic on any console platform, but merely as a mascot for Sega. However, if he goes to ANY platform.. I think it should be Nintnedo. Somehow, it just seems natural that those two (Mario & Sonic) should be in a game together. Call it nostalgia.. or whatever. That\'s just the way it seems to me.

I totally agree with sonyfan on this one.  True it should go to nintendo, but appearing in the same game...not right.  Id like to see them as rivals on the same platform though.

And like ddaryl said, many people are tired with Mario and Sonic, and I highly doubt that Sonic\'ll effect on the sales of GC.

To some, it\'s perhaps cool to see two ex-rivals ( lol - I remember the days of Sega and Nintendo ;) ) in same platform, but it\'s quite twisted humour from Nintendo to put them in the same game to bash each other.

As I do remember the endless debates with my friends about whom would win, Sonic or Mario, if they would fight :)

Heh, what fight Darth? Sonic would win, easy. What\'s Mario going to do?? Sonic is just too damned fast, and would slice that fat boy up like a day old lasangia before he could say "Mama Mia, that hurta likea mother****er!"

nah, i reckon mario would win. How???

Princess toadstool comes in... confronts mario about not saving her, instead fighting sonic. Goes for the chair shot, then BAM, she turns ala wrestling and smacks sonic upside the head.
Maybe not, but she\'d pull a pretty decent slap on him.

On topic, I agree with sonyfan, and bobby. It just wouldn\'t be right for them to feature in a game together, but I think if it HAS to be done, then do it in a fighting game. That way it\'s not down to platforming, which they both deserve to shine on their own at. If you get what I mean.

  • Sonic could and would kick Mario\'s ass.
  • MS does not have the rights to Crash. Infact, two months ago , EGM had a huge article on the PS2 verison of Crash.
  • It would be a huge selling point, but only if he wasn\'t a secert character. People need to know Sonic is there from the start, and not some huge secert. Just my opinion.
