Even Mario Kart and Mario Party's games are all the same. Sonic has gimmicks and level themes that aren't used in every single game.

What kind of gimmicks does Mario have? "You can play it in 3D!" "He's in space now!" "Now he's flat!"

As for stage themes also, we have a frozen/ice theme once or thrice per game. Bowser's castle with lava and such every single world. A jungle, desert, water, each of those are way too overused. Sonic has those level themes overused, but they're cleverly used and changed, fitting with the gimmick of the game, sometimes they're not in the game at all. What about power ups also it's real fun to kill all the enemies. I'm sorry, but I have to interject here. Mario Galaxy was considered an innovation with new-ish characters. The graphics are stellar, no pun intended here, and they feature another innovation with the wii controler. I admit, SEGA does go out of it's way to create games that push the boundaries, but Nintendo prefers to innovate within their safe zone.

And this is coming from a Sonic fangirl.
