i think sonic is better, but the mario movie is better than sonic
I think Mario is better
:)
Mario
I think you should let the 2 sidekicks(Luigi and tails/miles) to go head to head
Sonic 1 is fun but idk how to defeat the first boss in sonic 2.
Also bridge zone music was used in a pop song you may have heard in the 90s.
Mario will remember that!

This was cool prequel(?), but the real showdown is Sonic the Hedgehog 16bit vs Super Mario World (since that's what kickstarted the whole rivalry in the first place. I've never seen a real video showndown for that).
I'm sorry but as much as Yuzo Koshiro's 8-bit Sonic OST is great, Super Mario Bros. is one of the holy grails of video game music, every jingle and melody is tuned to perfection.
Bowser: Hey Mario, want some music?
Mario: Sure.
*Beats Mario to the tune of the Overworld theme*
Mwahahaha. You can't beat the classics.
Mario: Ooh I'll say.
Pov: me vs eggguy
Me: im about to cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhuhhhhhhhh
Reviving soviet union
Eggman: nahhh
Eggman has left the chat
Looks like I know what my pick is
Thanks for the super thanks!
music in power ups that plays when sonic is shown is from a flash game featuring Sonic, Tails, Cream and Knuckles and its name is Ultimate Flash Sonic
Bonus Round: Cross Platform: Mario games are only available on Nintendo [put an handheld name or a home console] while Sonic games are available on both PC, Mobile, Console so Sonic gets 2 points while Mario gets 1 point
Mario is cool and all, but I’m more of a Sonic fan. I find his games more fun.
(At least, the classic games.)
“It can stand up to a version 6 years later”
Also using the 8bit version
Both is better
Both is best*
Yo Darby just a suggestion u should do psycho fox. For the master system🤙🤙
It would be cool to see which game version is better on sega or Nintendo, or other systems.
but i tink mario has more good games over the years.
Well, great vídeo, I believe Super Mario stands at the top
Using the point system of this vídeo, Mario did better at the gameplay criterias and Sonic did better at the presentation criterias
Sonic is prettier, has more things to shine the eyes, and this is great. But you'll most likely return to the best gameplay, and Mario excels at it
i think sonic should've taken the point in the story, because the "mushroom kingdom people being turned into stone" isnt really present in the actual game, plus, i think a blue hedgehog tracking down magical gems and taking down a fat man is far more intresting than a plumber defeating a big turtle who kidnapped his girlfriend
If the items and bricks were people, is Mario eating and smashing them?
I thought it would make sense if it was Super Mario Bros. vs. Alex Kidd in Miracle World. 😂
both
Good pick
SMB has 2 win
Its a better game and overall sonic the hedgehog came 6 years later so it's not kinda fair and I prefer the original sonic the hedgehog then the 8 bit version
Doctor Robotnik sure does love shooting balls
imagine if he compared mario odyssey to sonic forces, it would be an instant win.
How about sonic frontiers vs Bowser fury
@@unstronzo3517lets be honest frontiers sonic
You forgot the title and invincibility music for sonic
Well I think both are good. Yes both
Agreed
Of course, I agree that
Mario 1 has aged better than the 8 bit version of Sonic 1 in my opinion. Mario controls and feels a lot better to play whereas Sonic feels kind of slippery in comparison. They’re both great games but Mario 1’s better.
Also for all the mainstream gamers, OG Sonic ran on 16 bits, not 8-Bits
15:16 they were crafted on a piece of graph paper
Mario bros 14 And Sonic 12!
I want to see pizza tower go head- to- head with wario land.
i think you should head to head super mario bros 2 vs sonic the hedgehog 2 please
If mario didn't exist, sonic too
So well done
A very cool video
You should do super mario Bros 3 vs sonic the hedgehog 2
I think Sonic is better! Because when I first had the chance to play Mario myself, It was wayy too tough!
The momentum was wayy too off!
My favourite thing in platformers is to go fast, and Sonic is the perfect game for me! I understand if you disagree with me, but is just my personal opinion! Thanks, cheers!
i want them to do The legend of Zelda V.S Metroid
i have crossed all paths nintendo and sega are awesome both!
video idea:crash bandicoot vs spyro the dragon
It's a tie because I have NEVER played any of these games in my life, man. Also, try CUPHEAD vs UNDERTALE.
The two games that could go head to head would be sonic 3 and mario 3
Are there more of these video game mashups?
There’s also some snow levels in Super Mario Bros
Do a video Named "Is TempleRun better than TempleRun2?"
4:07 bro killed buzzy beetle
You forgot about the faster underground ground music
You can't compare Mario 1 with that version of Sonic 1
Sonic 2 master system vs super mario bros 2
Maybe Minecraft vs Roblox
Super Mario World vs Sonic
Heyyy im back do you remeber me the guy who commeted im eating pizza while watching this video
You should have done Mario world with normal sonic 1
Well I can do other games! :)
@@BlueTelevisionGames ok
How about Kirby vs Metroid?
Cool idea
This in my opinion is unfair
Super mario bros was in 1985
But sonic was in 1991
To make it fair its should of been super mario world vs sonic
Let's get this straight, the original Mario Bros and the original Sonic The Hedgehog have not aged well and the sequels outshine the originals.
Do tails nightmare vs Luigi’s mansion
because sonic was a winner maybe you could do another game from nintendo like pokemon or the legend of zelda
I want sonic Mania vs Mario odysey
no you dont
Darby, PLZ DO LEGEND OF ZELDA VS METROID
The ring monitors shouldn't count as powerups
16 bit sonic vs mario bros mario
Mario 1985
Sonic 1991
Super Mario world vs. sonic 3 and knuckles
I’d like to see sonic adventure vs Mario sunshine
Pizza tower vs. Hello kitty pls
Yeah I agree
I agree with Darby Sonic is way better 🔵
Mario is the true gaming classic of all games, i stick to mario gang
Mega Man .vs. Mario 3
did you hear the smg4 music
I want to see sonic 3 vs Mario 3!
That would be crazy
Sonic vs Mario vs Zelda
Woah
Sonic
As a sonic fan, sonic deserves to win.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, during early betas, the special stage text was “Get blue balls!” until the English localisation team pointed out the double meaning to their Japanese colleagues, who promptly changed it to “Get blue spheres!”. Darby spent so much time talking about balls in Sonic, so I felt this was a good place to share this fun fact
I knew that because of tetrabitgaming's video. He's a pretty good game historian
Oh....they knew. 👀

19:56 i think both are equal. i grew up with mario games, and got into sonic a few years ago, but i still think they're tied, both are amazing franchises
You're soooo right!!!
I love to see Super Mario 3 vs Super Mario World. There’s always debate over which one is the better game
I personally like Mario 3 better, because of the variety of powerups and how the map is like a game you can play around with, and the fact that was a big improvement from Mario 2.
TL:DR, Mario World is good in my opinion, but the level design choices, the amount of times I replay the game, and the amount of people that literally have anything to say that's positive but not negative just make me appreciate Mario 3 more. Don't let that change your opinion though. If you like Mario World, then that's good for you. I'd be blessed to like it, but that simply won't happen to me.
I never beat the game without warps though, but I did make it to W7 without them. One day I want to do a no-warp run.
I don't like Super Mario World as much though, but one of my favorite Mario games (Mario U) took a lot of inspiration from it, so I have to give credit to Mario World where credit is due:
Since Mario 3 was released on the NES, Mario World was Nintendo's first Mario game on the SNES, so they had a lot of experimenting to do.
Mario World improved a lot of things that Mario 3 and its predecessors have failed to, like adding in Yoshi. It felt so nice to finally have a dinosaur companion in a Mario game, especially since Mario 3 and World were the two classic Mario games I had first played, and since you don't have a Yoshi companion in Mario 64 or Paper Mario, Mario World stuck out in that department.
Mario World also has higher quality music. Even though I like a lot of songs in Mario 3 over Mario World, I'd take the entire Mario World OST over the entire Mario 3 OST any day.
Mario World also was the first instance of secret exits since Mario 2, but since this game was on a World Map, it had a reasonable departure from where you took the secret exit. It also made the player have to play an extra level to continue the secret exit path, which was nice. (Also a reason why NSMBU is one of my favorite Mario games.)
Mario World had higher graphics, and there were a lot more colors on screen. It was better than looking at a usually orange-dominated Mario 3. Both games were extremely optimal with their color choices.
The Koopalings in Mario World had more variety, but some things I didn't like about the Koopaling fights was that the Koopalings usually shared the same boss battle with another. Lemmy with Wendy, Iggy with Larry, and Morton with Roy (and Ludwig). Even though adding Reznor was a big plus, they disposed of Boom Boom. ;-; (Boom Boom would later be readded in Mario U :D)
Even though there were a lot of good things to talk about in Mario World, there are a lot of things I don't like about it as well.
In Mario 3, it followed the same level building standard from Mario 1. Blocks here, enemies there, ending here. However, as the game progressed, it started putting enemies and blocks together, and adding more enemies in the level. It made it harder to get powerups, and made it harder to play the more you progress in the game. It made a clear to see difficulty curve. It started you out easy, and got difficult slowly but surely as you progressed.
In Mario World, it followed the same level building standard from Mario 2. The levels are wacky and absurd. That's not to say that some of the levels aren't fun. The only problem with this is that there is no clear difficulty curve. By World 3, there were a lot of levels in which I kept dying at the same exact point in each level. Butter Bridge I hate the most.
This is especially true with the extra levels and Star World levels, where they discard all of the rules. That would be fine if the levels followed similar rules to Mario 1 instead of Mario 2.
Mario World also gets boring to restart over and over again from the beginning due to the start being so sluggish and how the game feels like it babies you when you get used to the levels in World 1 and 2. This is also a problem with later Mario games, like Mario 64, Paper Mario games especially, NSMB games, Sunshine and Galaxy games, and Odyssey. Though, this is not a problem with Mario 3. If you are a guy who replays games a lot, you can find where I'm coming from.
Mario World is also overrated. Only of my biggest problems with playing the game. For some reason, I always have the unpopular opinion. (Like enjoying 3D World, any New Super Mario, Paper Mario Color Splash, liking Mario 3 more than Mario World, and liking Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario 64 more than Paper Mario TTYD) I don't like when people praise something too much. Mario World and TTYD suffer from this the most. Mario World can be as criticized as any other Mario game, even though I don't dislike Mario enough to be that guy.
I didn't talk about 100%ing Mario World because you can't 100% Mario 3, (unless you count beating all levels as 100%ing it) but I find the system to be fine. However, I never got to 100% Mario World as classic Mario games are much harder than modern Mario games.
@@saltendo2177 I love super Mario 3 more than Super Mario World. I love the level designs, the power ups, and music. I also think the Mario 3 is more difficult as you progress in the game. I also like the music in Mario World. I didn't care for the boss in World. after world 4 I believe they were just redskins but harder boss battles. The Reznor boss I like cuz it was different. I love Star world/special zone levels. Also Mario 3 got more content than the other Mario games. The 16 bit for all stars game and then the e-reader levels.
@@DarkShadow-jv3ef I agree with you on everything here, and the lack of originality in the bosses after World 4 is the reason I don't bother playing past it, so I'm always finding myself using the star warp. I've never experienced the special zone but I might give it a try.
Easily Mario 3 because Mario World doesn't even play like a Mario game. It's not quite as weird as Mario too The USA version but still perfect example is to compare it to New Super Mario Bros and see how that feels more like the original games.
@@DarkShadow-jv3efThat's cuz Mario World is difficult from the beginning. Maybe they just put a really short timer on all the levels because I keep getting timeouts in that game.
In the music category, you forgot to mention, that Mario's music gets faster, when the timer counts down the last 100 seconds - it may be the same melody, but it hits differently.
Interesting. In sonic 3 the zone music changes in the second act.
And the star song
Also forgot about Sonic's music getting faster when using speed shoes
Sonic drowning theme, no need for explanation.

Apparently, the ending theme for Super Mario Bros. was going to be longer, but due to hardware limitations, it had to be shortened, the longer theme was later used in Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels, a year later.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure the Famicom had less limitations than the NES, so when Nintendo decided not to sell SMB2:TLL in Western audiences, it was like a green light to use the noncut version.
I wouldn't put Nintendo in the wrong for giving Japan exclusive music, because Sega did that to Sonic CD, and Nintendo did that to Paper Mario, but if they feared any hate then I still wouldn't blame them.
However, Mario 1 was only on 32 KB, and I'm sure Mario 2 TLL was around 40 KB, so maybe that was the reason.
@@saltendo2177paper Mario head exclusive music in Japan?
@@bland9876 1 song that I know of, where they had a different variant of the 'King of the Koopas' theme. In Japan, the original music had a high-pitched and soft-sounding instrument rather than a guitar. They changed it to a guitar I think for 2 reasons.
1: to appease more to the US audience
2: to make Bowser more intimidating
@@saltendo2177the Famicom had the same specs
The only big difference is that the American one didn't have the mic feature on the 2nd controller and that it's 72-pin
@@ssg-eggunner Thanks, so does that contribute to the use of the extended music in TLL or is the use of that version kind of arbitrary? Because it does sound significantly more like modern quality music.
Although I like both series, I've been in love with Sonic for many years, and it's a shame to see him get smacktalked and be compared unfavorably to many things. So it's nice and satisfying to see one video where Sonic comes out on top, especially against his biggest gaming rival. SEGA did have the advantage of seeing what they had to do, but that prevented originality. Even so, I really like how they pushed their consoles while still offering a good experience or at least tried to. That's why I believe the gaming industry would not be as awesome as it is today had it not been for SEGA's willingness to push the envelope. Now if you were to make another Mario vs Sonic video, Super Mario 64 vs Sonic Adventure 1 as well as Super Mario Odyssey vs Sonic Frontiers would make for some good suggestions. Outside of that, how about Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition for the SNES vs Wheel of Fortune for the SEGA CD? Okay, okay. Like that's gonna happen. A lot of people would be saying Crash vs Spyro, but how about Gran Turismo vs Project Gotham Racing or Gran Turismo vs Forza Motorsport?

I really like these kind of videos. Bundled informations about games we love.
Totally agreeing with your point of view.
I don't know which games to compare next. May be "Zelda II" and "The Battle of Olympus"? Just kidding.

Objection on Replayability:
The whole "arcade loop" idea SMB has isn't good replayability, because there is no incentive or motivation to do other than "play it harder".
Sonic on the other hand has it that you can explore the levels a little more so you can find hidden spots you missed and (unlike Mario) the levels aren't just "go forward in a line all the time".
Spitting facts , right there you are .
I find that mario and sonic as games are drastically too different to compare and compete with each other on whats better. The only similarities they have is that they're both mascot platformers. Ultimately it tailors down to personal taste because of it.
However as characters id say it leans more in Sonics favour in the sense he has more of an evident personality and would even say his design is cooler and more exciting. He also gets better additional media, maybe not so much movie but certainly comics. The IDW comics are a great read.
Ultimately it comes down to game quality though and sadly Sega doesn't quite know what to do with sonic. Very few modern games are truly amazing. At best theyre decent, nothing more.
Its a debate with no clear answer really though. At the end of the day it falls on what game gives you the experience you want.
I'm sorry, but Mario music is clearly more memorable and iconic. (The only Sonic that stands out is Green Hill Zone, the rest could be any game; that same "tinny" sound). It's also nice how the graphics are more clear, and an enemy is clearly distinct. (Now that we're playing the Sonic simulator, I often find it hard to see those dang motobugs and crabs and other things).
Well how many times have you played sonic and how many times have you played Mario? I played through both back to back and then made my decisions as fairly as I could. Both games have great music. So you really can’t go wrong.
great and iconic is not the same thing though
"Green hill zone is the only song that stands out in sonic"
Literally every sonic game/that 8-bit one: Do we have no memorable music? Spring Yard? Star light? Angel island? Casino night?
I actually didn’t start playing Sonic until Sonic 2. And honestly, I think both have a place in the world because both are enjoyable.
But I’ll say this - Sonic has the best soundtrack, while Mario has the most creative levels.
Agreed. Also, I never played Sonic 2, just Sonic 1, 3, and Heroes.
@@PWPictures67you lost one of the best sonic games(whit Generation, Frontiers and Mania lol)
I say sunky is better 😂
😂😂😂
Yes
Sunky would easily solo all characters in both games
Match point: Which game has the coolest glitches? All the crazy tennis glitch worlds should be enough to make it a tie. Also small fire is the coolest powerup in SMB.

I haven't played Sonic very much, but I think your analysis is fair.
I would give the music category to Mario and the level design to Sonic, but in the end, it would come down to the same result.
Like I said, I haven't played a lot of Sonic, but having watched your video, I might give it a try again.
