Nintendo was once business rivals with [[Sega]]; this rivalry peaked during the 16-bit era (the era of the Super Nintendo and [[Megadrive|Sega Genesis]]). As such, Nintendo and Sega often attempted to put each other down through their games. Examples include Sonic's appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', to the left, and the blue hedgehog enemies of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' called "Harry Hedgehog". In the Sonic children's book, ''[[List of printed media|Secret Admirer]]'', there is a sign outside [[Robotropolis (SatAM)|Robotropolis]] that reads "No Nintendo Game Playing".

In a commercial for the original ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' game, Bernita Stokes, President of H.A.G. (Humans Against [[Sega Mega Drive|Genesis]]), criticizes the game by saying, "Why can't he be more like that nice boy Mario?" while an animated Sonic is seen on the cover of the box mimicking her (probably hinting that Sonic always had some resentment towards Mario). Sonic then blows her a raspberry and runs out of the box and into the TV screen which makes her angry, calling him a little brat.

Another commercial for the same game features a salesman at a video game store, trying to sell the then-newly released Super Nintendo Entertainment System with the ''Super Mario World'' video game to a customer at its launch price of $199.95. The game is shown alongside a Sega Genesis playing ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', being sold for $149.99. The speedy action of ''Sonic the Hedgehog'', as well as Sega Genesis' lower price grab the customer's attention, and the customer decides to buy the Genesis and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' game, disappointing the salesman, who desperately wanted him to buy the Super Nintendo and the ''Super Mario World'' game instead.

'''Continued Rivalry'''
  
  ⚫
Mario returns in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', once again as an all-around type character. Being the third time they have met, Mario and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] seem to of built a friendship out of their rivalry. This is indicated by the game's opening cinematic which depicts Mario and Sonic coordinating with each other to thwart the plans of [[Doctor Eggman|Dr. Eggman]] and [[Wario]]. Mario and Sonic also cooperate in the story mode of this game ([[Nintendo DS]] version only) where they work together to rescue the [[Snow Spirits]] from [[Doctor Eggman|Eggman]], [[Bowser]] and all their villainous associates.

'''Stats'''
−
Mario and Sonic are both the world's top video game heroes. They both seem to have a competitive relationship with each other since Sonic was created. Sonic appears to be Mario's friend instead of a complete rival, but they both have issues with ending conflict with each other (show in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' TV ads). Example: in the first TV spot, Sonic figures out that Mario gets intimidated by him making fun of him on TV. In the second TV spot, Mario tries wetting Sonic up with the hose, knowing that Sonic hates water. This still continues on in TV spots 3 through 6, but they still appear to be good friends, and&nbsp;this is shown in the commercial for ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' where they give each other a high five.

Mario was thrown into the battlefield as a trophy. When he came to life, he faced his opponent, [[w:c:kirby:Kirby|Kirby]], and fought him. Should Mario win, he would have brought Kirby back to life as he would have turned into a trophy. If not, Kirby would bring Mario back to life. After the battle, the {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Subspace_Army|Subspace Army}} ambushed Mario and Kirby, but the duo defeated them with the help of [[Peach]] and [[w:c:zelda:Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. Afterwards, two {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/R.O.B.|R.O.B.s}} were ordered by the {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Ancient_Minister|Ancient Minister}} to set a {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Subspace_Bomb|Subspace Bomb}} in the stadium.

Mario eventually saw what appeared to be Peach's trophy dissolving. Thinking [[w:c:zelda:Link|Link]] and [[Yoshi]] were behind this, he and Pit attacked the pair but were defeated. [[w:c:kirby:King Dedede|King Dedede]] then attempted to kidnap the trophies of Mario and Pit, only for them to be saved by Kirby. Mario and Pit then teamed up with Kirby, Link and Yoshi, and chased King Dedede down to his castle, only to have found it destroyed. Mario then found [[Bowser]] trying to escape through a secret passageway. Mario attempted to attack him but failed as he did not want to harm the trophy of Zelda.

Mario and his team chase down the Ancient Minister through the Wilds, where they were stopped by two R.O.B.s. The R.O.B.s set off another Subspace Bomb but the heroes escaped. Mario and his team then fought more of the Subspace Army at the Canyon and met up with the [[w:c:nintendo:Ice Climbers|Ice Climbers]], [[w:c:fireemblem:Marth|Marth]], [[w:c:earthbound:Lucas|Lucas]], the {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Pokémon_Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}} and [[w:c:fireemblem:Ike|Ike]]. Mario's group then increased as they banded together to fight {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Tabuu|Tabuu}} in {{Plain link|https://www.mariowiki.com/Subspace_(Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl)|Subspace}}. They were all easily transformed into statues due to the effect of a massive shockwave.

As Tabuu was about to land another strike on the fighters, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] ambushed him out of nowhere and aided the group in defeating him once and for all.

====Special Moves====
  
−  
−
*'''Standard''' - ''Fireball''
  
−  
−
:Mario shoots a bouncing fireball that disappears once it loses speed. Unlike Luigi's Fireball, Mario's one is affected by gravity and so it will bounce downwards to the ground.
  
−  
−
*'''Side''' - ''Cape''
  
−  
−
:While using this move, Mario can reflect most projectiles and turn opponents around with a flick of the cape.
  
−  
−
*'''Up''' - ''Super Jump Punch''
  
−  
−
:Mario performs a jump while attacking with his fist like an uppercut, serving as his recovery move.
  
−  
−
*'''Down''' - ''F.L.U.D.D.''
  
−  
−
:When used, Mario begins to charge up water in his hose. When pressing the special move button (B button/1 button) again, Mario shoots out a blast of water which inflicts no damage but can push opponents off the edge or onto obstacles. This replaces the Star Spin back from Melee.
  
−
*'''Final Smash''' - ''Mario Finale''
  
   
  +
Mario also appears in the game as some of the trophies and several Stickers.
−
:Mario launches a great fiery blast. The blast spreads outwards vertically as it travels, so maximize the range and the potential to KO by taking a small hop before letting loose.

It's-a me! Mario!


— Mario

Mario is the main protagonist of the Mario series and Nintendo's primary mascot. Normally the hero, Mario uses his legendary jump and combat abilities to defend the peaceful inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom and the world from powerful and foul villains such as Bowser. When not adventuring, Mario participates in a variety of sporting events, parties and other fun activities with his younger twin brother Luigi and thousands of friends from his many adventures. Mario is one of the most famous video game characters.

Mario has appeared in multiple crossover titles alongside Sonic the Hedgehog (in particular, the Mario & Sonic sports subseries). In these games, he is voiced by Charles Martinet, who also voices Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi from the Mario series.

Early rivalry

File:Sonic-Shoes.jpg

Nintendo was once business rivals with Sega; this rivalry peaked during the 16-bit era (the era of the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis). As such, Nintendo and Sega often attempted to put each other down through their games. Examples include Sonic's appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2, to the left, and the blue hedgehog enemies of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island called "Harry Hedgehog". In the Sonic children's book, Secret Admirer, there is a sign outside Robotropolis that reads "No Nintendo Game Playing".

In a commercial for the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, Bernita Stokes, President of H.A.G. (Humans Against Genesis), criticizes the game by saying, "Why can't he be more like that nice boy Mario?" while an animated Sonic is seen on the cover of the box mimicking her (probably hinting that Sonic always had some resentment towards Mario). Sonic then blows her a raspberry and runs out of the box and into the TV screen which makes her angry, calling him a little brat.

Another commercial for the same game features a salesman at a video game store, trying to sell the then-newly released Super Nintendo Entertainment System with the Super Mario World video game to a customer at its launch price of $199.95. The game is shown alongside a Sega Genesis playing Sonic the Hedgehog, being sold for $149.99. The speedy action of Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as Sega Genesis' lower price grab the customer's attention, and the customer decides to buy the Genesis and Sonic the Hedgehog game, disappointing the salesman, who desperately wanted him to buy the Super Nintendo and the Super Mario World game instead. However, starting by 2008, with Mario and Sonic appearing together in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and the beginning of the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series, just like SEGA's relationship with Nintendo improved, Mario and Sonic became friends.

Game appearances

Mario & Sonic series

Trophy
Name Image Game(s) Description/ effect
Mario TrMario
  • NES- Donkey Kong
  • NES- Super Mario Bros.
 A familiar overall-clad figure who is Nintendo's flagship character. His courage and jumping ability have seen him through countless adventures. He's a multitalented plumber with the knowledge of a physician, a top-notch golfer, and a veteran tennis umpire. Is his jumping prowess a boon from his girder-climbing days?
Mario Fanale TrMario finale Mario with a Smash Ball, unleashing his ultimate attack. The twin dragons of flame he releases wallop all characters in range. The flames spread up and down, so it's best to release them from the edge of the screen at an appropriate height. His flaming eyes are proof of his excitement for this explosive attack.
Striker Mario TrStriker mario
  • GameCube- Super Mario Strikers
  • Wii- Mario Strikers Charged
 A team captain in Super Mario Strikers, which features combat- style soccer that allows fighting and items. Mario proves to be a great all-around player, well balanced on offense and defense, and he wields a critical shot—the Mega Strike—that can chalk up a maximum of six goals! Mario is easily identified by the "M" marks on his spikes.
Paper Mario TrPaper mario
  • Wii- Super Paper Mario
 A legendary hero whose adventure unfolds when he sets out to rescue Princess Peach from the nefarious clutches of Count Bleck. He has the ability to flip the world from 2-D to 3-D and back again. If he grabs a Mega Star, he'll transform into a pixelated giant Mario. In this state, he's invulnerable and capable of stomping through enemies and obstacles with ease.
Baby Mario File:TrBaby mario.jpg
  • SNES - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
  • DS - Yoshi's Island DS
 Mario as a baby...a crybaby at that. Although he lacks overalls, we can see the trademark red hat even at this young age. Everyone's favorite hero was riding Yoshi and adventuring from his youngest days, and even as a baby, it's clear that Mario had quite the nose.

The Marxio Brothers from Sonic the Comic.

Sonic the Comic introduced the Marxio Brothers, characters that seem to be a combination of the Mario Bros. and the classic comedians, The Marx Brothers.

Mario Kart Double Dash Bonus Disk

In 2003, Mario Kart Double Dash!! was released for the Nintendo GameCube. In the US, if people were to pre-order this game they would receive a complimentary bonus disc which had demos and videos of then-upcoming GameCube games. One of the major draws of this disc was a 2 level playable demo of Sonic Heroes where players could control either Team Sonic or Team Dark. Also appearing on this disc were multiple mini games from Mario Party 5.[1]

DiC Entertainment

Mario and Sonic DVD

Mario and Sonic have had three cartoon series produced by DiC.

Both Mario and Sonic have had three cartoon series produced by DiC. One major difference is that while Mario's three series (The Super Mario Super Show, Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World) were all consistent with its cast and tone of the shows, Sonic's three cartoon series (Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground) were all completely different from each other, with separate casts of characters, tones and themes.

In more recent years, DiC has been releasing these cartoons on DVD and have been very openly compiling episodes from Mario's shows with those of Sonic's shows. Most notable is an Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 / Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Volume 1 DVD compilation box set (released on the date of December 4, 2007). Other DVDs such as The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, King Koopa Katastrophe includes full episodes of Sonic Underground as special features. Another was a Sonic Underground DVD titled Dr. Robotnik's Revenge which included a Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode as a special feature.

Trivia
