Seriously, Mario may always have that legacy to coast on as a franchise that revitalized gaming and eventually 3D platforming, but those early Sonic did shit like actual individual themes for a set of levels (compared to most Mario games that reuse assets for literally a hundred levels), music that seemed to complement the atmosphere of said levels (I'm sorry, SMW's happy go lucky merritime theme song doesn't get anymore listenable when hearing it for the gajillionth time), and that the games themselves had some fucking personality (yes, it spawned a horrifying trend of edgy animal mascots, but with Sonic being the originator of that concept, I think the folks at Sega were pretty sincere in their design of Sonic when compared to his contemporaries)
TLDR fuck mario and his boring fatass overlong faggot games, cause Sonic blast processed his shit
