As someone who grew up with both, I always found classic Sonic better than Classic mario. I guess that carried over because I like Sonic and Sega far more than Mario and Nintendo. Sonic is just too cool.

Mario is better than sonic as both a game to play and as a mascot
By extension it follows logically that if youre Sega instead of Nintendo I hate you and everything you stand for.

From the perspective of not having a dog in this fight that is an unhinged level of fucks to give about this and in the context of this thread I love that for you.

Intellectually I dont care any more and I understand its fucked from the beginning, but I was just old enough to engage in tribalism when it was kicking off and apparently its a permanent feature now.

To be clear, if I did have a dog in this fight, it would be the supertux games.

Sonic sucks.
The guy is supposed to “go fast” but the levels are absolute nonsense that inhibit your ability to “go fast”, and then once you play the game enough (which you shouldn’t) to memorize the levels (what a waste of brain matter) and “go fast”, the game ends quickly because you “went fast”.
Fundamentally terrible games. People who like sonic are weirdos.

How’s this for an “I’m getting old” moment: sonic 1 was released on the Genesis in 1991. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle was released on the GameCube in 2001. Sonic has been on Nintendo consoles for over twice the time he’s been a Sega exclusive.
