The early Sonic games weren't even about speed (ironic, given what they were marketing), they were about platforming. And I'll get back to you on the video. It doesn't work on mobile devices like my IPad. Okay, but any idiot can tell that Mario isn't faster than SOnic back then. NAd what? Yes they were about speed. 0.o In fact that was one of the main marketing tags. Sonic is noted to be as fast back then as he's noted to be int he comics of that time. Moreover, Mario isn't even notably fast. You have problems when you try to gauge speed of video game characters by judging how fast they go over a certain distance in a 2D side scroller from the 90s. Moreover wven if you did, it's clear that Sonic is faster.
