After playing Sonic Adventure in-depth I'm warming up to the series more, but I still can't enjoy it fully because it hasn't aged well and its glaring flaws.

To me, Mario is bland. Seriously. All he ever does is save a princess from mutant-like turtles. And although sonic kicks the same dude's butt for years on end, it usually has MORE. As in robots, high-speed running, and rings. Usually, Sonic's stories are a little more actiony. That's true. And I must admit that Sonic has a better story. But I personally think that Mario has better gameplay and a better future ahead for its franchise.
