Mario vs. Sonic? As a Nintendo fan myself who's grew up in the SNES days, I'm sensing a can of worms that shouldn't be opened.

And before anyone goes "sonic wins due to super sonic mode lolz", mario edges sonic out on x-factors like experience, tactics, versatility, strength, intelligence, and sheer hax by at least a fair amount. Think about it, Mario's dealt with cosmic-level threats worse than the ones Sonic has faced in all of his games so far and lived and Mario isn't exactly as slow as everyone thinks.

Take it from a knowledgeable Mario fan, when he says that he has too many invincibility items on his side and tons of one-hit KO magic items that include but are not limited to the Star Rod, speaking of which, if you get into Paper Mario, things are going to get far uglier. And not to mention, paper mario has defenses and counters against superior speed among other stuff that would easily trump Sonic. And as of SM3DL, Mario has the White Tanooki suit which allows him unlimited invincibility (with possible starman killing ability) and extremely fast flying speed.

But it seems not many people here seem to know what Mario is truly capable of and Sonic might win in votes, because apparently "superspeedz > everything else, therefore sonicz > marioz lol".
