- What do Mario and Sonic have in common in 2023? Basically everything. Sonic Superstars and Super Mario Wonder have both arrived and its time pull apart what's the same and what's different about this super similar games.
#Sonic #Mario #Videogames
I honestly think Sonic Dream Team looks more like wonder, considering the dream aesthetic calls for all the wacky scenarios we’ve seen so far, plus Superstars plays it a little safe.
I agree with playing it safe. I’m very excited to see what Sonic does with being weird. And I really hope this Apple Arcade exclusive isn’t too freemium…
@@BenkelmonkeyGaming I bought an iPhone 14 recently and it came with 3 months of apple arcade for free, PLUS my switch pro controller is compatible, so I thankfully just got a free 3D Sonic game…for three months at least
Both titles have the same color, tho
I just imagined Sonic Dream Team being similiar to Mario & Luigi Dream Team,since since name.
On paper they are the same. but as far as execution, design, and polish goes, Wonder is on a completely different level.
You're right. Wonder is absolute dogshit compared to Superstars.
@@G-SelfSuperstars looks like Generations Rehashed.
@@G-SelfLol the COPIUM
@@maravreloaded Indeed. People are struggling to cope with the fact that Mario Wonder is an easy, run-of-the-mill Mario game. Oh well, there's always Yooka-Laylee if I want a quality, Nintendo-style platformer.
@@G-Selfrage bait used to be believeable
Both of those games are (a bit) similar, but different at the same time.
God, I hope Nintendo decides to continue to make awesome games without any deadlines, and I hope Sega/Sonic Team decides to take notes from the development of Super Mario Bros Wonder.
as a Sonic fan ME TO!
@RaiginAnimator Let's also hope that the developers of Splatoon decides to take notes from the development progress of Super Mario Brothers Wonder.
You get mad respect from me for not having a sponsor or asking for likes and subscriptions, plus having really good editing! I hope you'll keep up the good work!
Thanks friend! Though I’m pretty sure I did plug for some likes and subs at the end :-P glad you enjoyed it regardless!
This was actually the first video I saw on your channel, so this made a very good impression! Sadly, my gaming/RUclips balance is pretty bad lately, but I'll definitely check out more of your videos along the line!
3:34 "I'd call it sonic 4... wait.."
Honestly, all of my problems with Superstars’ multiplayer could be solved with a split-screen co-op mode rather than the Mario 1 screen method.
as long as it doesn't look like Genesis-era Sonic split-screen...
Ive felt like the switching first person feature in wonder has been so similar to superstars sometimes it just switches it and kills P2
Both games have running and jumping, therefore they're the same game.
You’ve cracked the code!
hey, great comparison! you got a new member to your channel.
Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed the video and glad to have you with us!
Glad to not be the only one who felt that Superstars and Wonder are literally the same game
Things happen in mario wonder, and what also happens in sonic superstars? Exactly, things!
Here's a concept... The DS version of Sonic Colors is closer to Super Mario Wonder than Sonic Superstars is.
I’ll have to check it out! I haven’t played the DS version before…
@@BenkelmonkeyGaming Colors DS follows roughly the same story as Colors Console/PC, except it has more presence of Sonic's friends (they actually show up and there's an additional component as well in that the Chaos Emeralds are actually used). It's a sort of mirror of how Generations DS had none of Sonic's friends whereas the Console/PC version had many of them.
I feel I might get a genesis controller for switch to play sonic superstars
I do not gravitate toward the elephant
The reason why some gamers says Super Mario Brothers Wonder suck ass because of the elephant power up and the Wonder balloon power up.
@@keeganmcfarland7507 I've never heard anyone say that. I just think the drill is an under-appreciated gem i think it's one of the best Mario power-ups ever
@@BmanXYDrill is very good actually. Better than the Elephant but I don’t think it’s bad like you said
Literally the only similarity is the genre. You spent a whole video determining what defines a genre.
Based on your name alone, I subscribed. Great video.
Thanks friend! Glad you enjoyed it and glad to have you with us!
Loved your honesty about both games. I’ve been so annoyed with this “war” between them as though both series weren’t doing the same thing.
As a matter of fact, I don't think Mario fighting against Sonic anymore nowadays.
I think Mario and Sonic are more friends rather than Rivals.
Move along sonic fan, this is a mario neighborhood
except one is good
I find it funny that nobody in the comments actually watched the video and is mad about what is essentially a double review. Good video and clickbait, you certainly caught me
If they were the same game
Where is the online multiplayer with everyone around the world in the main sonic game story?
I think slow was only added because the game was getting increasingly harder at post game
Ok I’m sorry, but no, they are not the same game, They are just 2D platformers, that’s it. I will admit, superstars did try to copy the multiplayer, but that’s it. They are so different from eachother, I don’t even know why people say this.
No , they are not , one is a amazing 2D mario platformer which is a refreshment after starving for a new game for 11 years, and one is a mid classic sonic game not worth touching
You live up to your username I see :-)
@@BenkelmonkeyGaming I do !
@@BenkelmonkeyGamingwith all of this mario and sonic content releasing, it's feels like their 90s rivalry is back , and I'm all for it ! Since I wasn't even born yer in the 90s this can be a interesting war between mario and sonic fans (im on Mario's side and absolutely HATE sonic ) but I think we all know that mario is going to win just like in the 90s
@@thepaperunicorn09I don't hate Sonic, but he doesn't stand a leg in hell of a chance against Mario.
great video.
Thanks friend! I really appreciate it!
I just want a game for Sonic that mario fans will say. Yeah, ok, that was a good hit in the right spot from you to us. Frontiers tried, but no dice. It's a good game, but ugh. When will that happen for Sonic fans? we hope soon for mario fans never cause Sonic sucks until they are under nintendo, then people will like Sonic.
I get it.
if only sonic copied mario more so that the game was actually good!
Rewording: If only sonic copied mario's polish more so that the game was actually good by genuine modern standards!
That's disingenuous.
@@staticplays1871 listen man, i wanted to love superstars so much. Bought it full price at launch! But it just isn't as polished or fun as mario wonder. The music is surprisingly hit or miss, the levels aren't bad but they dont feel creative or nearly as cohesive as i had hoped, and the difficulty feels like it copies too much of the annoying parts of the classics. At the end of the day, mania is right there, sitting pretty at 20 dollars with prettier visuals and better re-capturing of the classic energy. That's my take at least, my original comment really wasn't meant to be TOO serious.
A Sonic game that copied Mario already exists…It’s called Sonic Lost World…and it sold like garbage because, contrary to popular belief, Sonic was never supposed to be a Mario rip off.
He was actually created to be Mario’s opposite; an alternative to the established norm. I’m speaking on behalf of the majority when I say that this opinion of yours reeks of ignorance.
@@dusk173 hold on a moment, i never said "ripoff". Although i may have misrepresented my thoughts, i actually agree with you! I really dont think that sonic should be like mario. It's why he thrived in the 90s, and also why he's financially failed so much in the past 2 decades. Its also why mania and generations are so good, their whole purpose it to capture that classic sonic charm, which both do incredibly in very different ways. my point is, sonic is form while mario is function.
Compare the first mario to the first sonic. Looking at both from a modern standpoint, which one is better? I think that, fan or not of sonic, you have to admit that, playability wise, mario just holds up better. Don't get me wrong, it still has that classic retro BS, but sonic 1 has waaaaaaay more. But sonic 1 still did well, and that was with mario WORLD being its sales competitor! As im sure you know, its because of both the kick-ass 90's marketing and because sonic is cool! Going fast is cool! Building momentum in a huge area with branching paths is cool! Now, they wouldnt really capitalize on this until the second game, but thats neither here nor there.
Ok, but what does this have to do with wonder and superstars? Simply put, times change. You cant wow the modern gaming audience with JUST old tricks. I like what sonic superstars stands for. I am all about bringing back old stuff for a modern audience. But in this case, they really should have just done more. If you dont want to compare superstars and wonder, thats fine. But if youre going to release 2 60$ AAA 2D platformers in the same WEEK, you have to be up to snuff with your competition. No matter how you slice it, superstars lacks identity. They even use mania sound effects for selections on menus and end level jingles! You can have your nostalgia cake and eat it too, its just that this isnt the way to do it. I have a lot more i COULD say but this is already so much, so ill leave it here. Have a good one!
Jesus no. I like both games but I'd hate for Sonic to copy Mario again, this game is fine as is and Sonic has his own style
Sonic is easily the best character in superstars
🎶 Waluigi... 🎶 Waluigi... 🎶 Waluigi... 🎶 Waluigi... 🎶 😭😭😭
at least all of smbw's music is good, the mini boss theme in superstars sucks imo
You can tell the songs Tee Lopes wrote vs. Jun Senoue. And I’m pretty sure Jun is guilty of most of those 4 bar looping ones. The man makes amazing music for modern sonic games, but maybe let Tee Lopes take charge of the classic games in the future?
@@BenkelmonkeyGamingTrue some even say that music sounds like sonic 4 and people say superstars is the true Sonic 4
SEGA copied Nintendo, actually. Let me explain: Sonic never had four player co-op (only two player) 'til Sonic Superstars, but Nintendo had four player co-op platforming since 2009-precsent (New Super Mario Bros. Wii, U/Deluxe, Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury, Super Mario Bros. Wonder).
Then why do those fans keep saying, "Nintendo copied Sega"?
@@ComicBoy60s SEGA Fanboys, maybe?
ngl dude the Mario didnt invent 4 player co op did they?
@@RaiginAnimator Yes. Nintendo 64 was the first console to have built-in four player game slots, without needing additional accessories or adaptors so…
@@mattimusprimal637 So ok Nintendo pioneered 4 player couch co op but 4 player co op wasn’t Invented by Nintendo that’s like saying everyone copied Doom for them having 4 player co op 4 players isn’t a hard idea to think of? It just took a while for someone to make it not to mention that would mean Mario and every other game with multiple playable characters copied Galactic warriors
Give sonic a split second slow-down ability when you’re about to hit an obstacle, or maybe just make that for an easy mode. Either way, it could really add to the flow
Completely agree. Give the boy something more!
That genuinely sounds like an amazing idea. And it doesn’t hurt the speed concept. I mean modern speed is basically portrayed as time stopping, so it’s up Sonic’s wheelhouse.
I mean this could fix the "unfair" design of classic levels. Having the possibility to move out of the danger.
Just saying
Mario Wonder has badges
Sonic Superstars has Emerald Powers
Kinda similar, no?
Pretty darn similar indeed
Not in execution really. Sure they provide abilities, but Mario's are mods to your general movement, but you get one at a time, and Sonic's are situational power ups on a wheel. Its like saying any game with some form of modifiers or power ups are the same
Hmmmmmm 🤔 toooo similar? 1:22
Just sayin’!
The gameplay kinda looks similar just a little bit 🤏🏾
Really. There both they’re own distinct game with different negatives,positives ETC. and that’s a fact! Even if you maybe don’t like Mario wonder as much as maybe sonic superstars, they both at least have differences that don’t make them bland, or just exactly the same. I can’t believe grown men nowadays are more likely to be in their grandmothers basement making fake statements about VIDEO GAMES of all things.
did he not get you to watch the video though? Almost like the title did what it was meant to....
Not even close
No they not
They’re not the same game. Mario has stupid elephants.
:v Every shooter is Doom game.
