People don't realize that the dark age is over. Starting with the Black Knight, games have been good. Sure, Sonic Boom was a fail, and that is what I thought would happen, but oh well. It doesn't affect our continuity.

As for Mario: I was originally a fan of mario, and disliked sonic. The games were fun, and creative, but also had similar playstyles every games. My favorite games, are the Super Mario Galaxy series. I switched to sonic, to try it. But I don't hate mario, I just prefer Sonic. I simply believe that Nintendo is a much bigger powerhouse that SEGA, so Sonic really can't stand up to that. However, i always prefer Sonic, because of his creativity.

Black Knight was not one of the better games, if we're looking at it that way. It was worse than Shadow the Hedgehog, and did poorly with the fans and critics.
