I like Mario. I like Sonic more, and I wish SEGA still made consoles (I also want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga but neither seems likely). But my two things for Mario are: 1. His games are hi-quality (for the most part) and fun, although not always particulary original. 2. Without Mario, there would probably be no Sonic, or at a minimum, Sonic would'nt be quite the same. Nintendo saved the gaming industry with the NES, and Mario was a very large part of that. SEGA needed someone to pit against Mario, and Alex Kidd deserved to be thrown in the Sarlaac Pit, so here comes Sonic.
