10 Famous Video Game Rivalries With A Clear Winner
1. Sonic Vs. Mario
WINNER: Mario
Mario is the most recognizable gaming character of all time, with a ton of highly successful games and franchises of his own. Each of his games are massively hyped, sell well and generate mass critical appeal.
Sonic on the other hand? Although Sonic Mania was fantastic, it was so surprising because it showed that Sonic games could actually be fantastic with some love and care.
Sonic is carried by his snarky personality and classic titles, but everything else he does seems to hit some spikes pretty fast.
That’s not to say that Sonic hasn’t had his fair share of fantastic adventures, but it has definitely been a rockier road for the blue hedgehog. There's a reason Sega don't make consoles anymore, and the fact of the matter is that Sonic just can't sell systems like Mario can.
