Guest Coffey Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 NOTHING was better than the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Well, maybe Video Power and the movie Rad, but that's it! ...OK, I'll throw The Wizard with Fred Savage in there too.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Sonic had THREE shows, all with good qualities. Actually no, the one where he was in a rock band sucked, but the other two kicked ass. Mario's show sucked for the most part. Sonic was cooler, and Mario was only a deeper game because they repeated a lot of the shit over and over when it came to villains and bosses. Sonic may have been shorter, but it was definitely a lot sweeter. Plus the option to play Knuckles in Sonic 2 or 3 was KICKASS. The fact that when you tried it with one they had the gang telling you no was even KICKASSER. I picked Sonic, but I knew it wouldn't be close regardless.
AndrewTS Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Mario was in a hilarious Robot Chicken skit. Mario has 4 RPGs. Mario has a game where you can yank on and contort his face at the title screen. Mario briefly had a heel turn. Sonic can run fast, but Mario is overall a more well-rounded athlete. Sonic can't throw his evil nemesis hella far like Mario can. EDIT: Forgot there were 2 Paper Mario games, so 4 RPGs.
Renegade Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Well as a character, I prefer sonic and IMO nothing beats Sonic and Knuckles locked on with Sonic 3. However, Mario is by far more consistant in his games, and wins in the better game department. I still can't see why Sonic Team are failing to make the sonic game that everybody wants, none of this "Sonic and his new side kick chester the yummynut squirrel" shit or Shadow packing a firearm.
Use Your Illusion Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Is Mario's 'heel turn' in reference to his role in Donkey Kong Jr., Andrew, or something else I'm missing?
ChrisMWaters Posted April 7, 2005 Report Posted April 7, 2005 Hmm...it's going to be hard for me to vote on this, as I like both game series. I'll just do a null vote. Oh, and here's something in Sonic's favor over Mario: Sonic's more recent games have a...more in depth story (to an extent) than the Mario games. Plus, at least Sonic can talk in full sentances in his games, not the short phrases like Mario does in Mario 64, Sunshine, and a few others. ...so, that's in favor of Sonic. Oh, and for the people who care about the cartoons, there's 4 series and one OVA of Sonic. "The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog": The weekday show. Just Sonic and Tails for the heroes. Grounder and the monkey were the only robots from the games in the show. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine made based on this series "Sonic The Hedgehog": The Saturday morning TV show based off of the Archie comics. NO robots from the games in it...plus a bunch of characters not from the games (Sally, Bunnie, et al). "Sonic OVA": Made in Japan...an anime movie that came out sometime after Sonic 3 (As Knuckles is in it). ...it's strange, but it also has the first animated appearance of Metal Sonic. "Sonic Underground": Suppossedly to some a prequel to the Saturday morning Sonic series. The less said about this the better...but it did have Knuckles in it for one ep. "Sonic X": Recent anime series that I THINK was made by Sonic Team. More closely follows the games than the other series...has all the new characters up to Sonic Heroes or Battle in it (including furrie lovers' dream girl, Rouge.)
Cuban Linx Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 The Fat Italian Plumber all the way, for reasons everyone's stated already.
AndrewTS Posted April 8, 2005 Report Posted April 8, 2005 Is Mario's 'heel turn' in reference to his role in Donkey Kong Jr., Andrew, or something else I'm missing? That would be it, yeah. Although if you count his post-Rare makeovers, Donkey Kong Jr. (who's been in all the new DK games from DKC, with the "original," Cranky, retired), he's been flip-flopping from face to heel a lot.
AlaskanHero Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 I picked Mario. Both of them are great, but I prefer Mario over Sonic. Though I will say that Mario's overall storyline makes no sense to me.
the max Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 Princess gets captured and Mario rescues her. Although you'd think that by now, she'd have better security than the Toadster.
ChrisMWaters Posted April 9, 2005 Report Posted April 9, 2005 Princess gets captured and Mario rescues her. Although you'd think that by now, she'd have better security than the Toadster. Maybe she just likes getting captured...for the fact of getting rescued. ...or, maybe she lets herself get captured for...benefits...from Bowser. ...yeah, that was sick. Sorry.
AlaskanHero Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Yeah, Bowser was something that confused me too. Is he King Koopa? Or are they two different people? And if they're different, then does that mean that Bowser killed King Koopa or what? And when exactly did Bowser take over? What game was he first mentioned in?
PLAGIARISM! Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Sonic. If not for the fact that, as we all know, the music was unbelievable.
AndrewTS Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Yeah, Bowser was something that confused me too. Is he King Koopa? Or are they two different people? And if they're different, then does that mean that Bowser killed King Koopa or what? And when exactly did Bowser take over? What game was he first mentioned in? He's Bowser. She's Peach. "King Koopa" and "Princess Toadstool" are only their titles. But they were almost exclusively referred to as "King Koopa" and "Princess Toadstool" in the cartoon. Basically, Bowser's king of the koopas (the turtles) but also has the allegiance of goombas, etc, while Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Toadstool people.
ChrisMWaters Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Or, if you go by a theory more major Mario fans go by... Full names are King Bowser Koopa and Princess Peach Toadstool. So, if Peach and Mario ever got married, she'd probably go by Peach Toadstool-Mario.
AndrewTS Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Or, if you go by a theory more major Mario fans go by... Full names are King Bowser Koopa and Princess Peach Toadstool. So, if Peach and Mario ever got married, she'd probably go by Peach Toadstool-Mario. So it is indeed official that the Bros. names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?
Use Your Illusion Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 That has never been made official by Nintendo themselves. I'm pretty sure that stems directly from the infamous Mario Bros. movie. It is generally accepted by Nintendo fans that their last name is Mario, though.
Anya Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Why is Peach like the only girl in the entire Kingdom? Both Mario and Sonic are lame. Mario's games are better but that's not saying much since the last decade of Sonic games have been garbage. Modern game characters are so much better than the old mascot style.
AndrewTS Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Yah...cuz this would be so much better: http://tabmok99.mortalkombatonline.com/8bi...io_tales_1.html http://tabmok99.mortalkombatonline.com/8bi...io_tales_2.html
{''({o..o})''} Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Just thought I'd mention that I have a perfect record of disagreeing with every one of Anyaka's posts in this folder.
AndrewTS Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 That was horrible. Exactly. I get the impression sometimes if you had your way you'd replace everything good and pure about gaming with angsty melodrama or over-the-top gorefests.
Jingus Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 http://tabmok99.mortalkombatonline.com/8bi...io_tales_1.html http://tabmok99.mortalkombatonline.com/8bi...io_tales_2.html The second one should've ended with Mario finding Luigi in the same position as the Princess. Now THAT would've been funny.
Use Your Illusion Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 'I hope Square Enix go the way of Sega. In fact, screw that, I hope they go out of business and the children of all the employees are eaten by mutant crocodiles who are apart of a mythical kingdom full of love triangles and idiotically named characters. I really hope that happens'
Jingus Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Aw come on, they're not THAT bad. Fine stuff like Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts were worth waiting through a bunch of crap for. How come they've never done a Mario Vs. Sonic game?
the max Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I have a feeling that is coming, what with Sonic games for the Cube.
