well the same way you say how can the fastest hedgehog in the world be similar on an anime dude with a monkey tail i could say how can the ultimate life-form created in search for inmortality and a cure for NIDS with alien and Hedgehog DNA be similar to a guy that...has gases (i don't know much Mario Sorry) the concept of the hero having an "evil twin" has been around long before Wario and Mario. but since it has been openly stated that elements of Both Mario and Dragon Ball have been used in the Sonic series it would be pointless to debate this.
