We seem them and played them for all our lifes from Atari 2600 to todays Xbox and Im talking about Video Game mascots, lets start with the first super star in the 1980 we seen there Official Game mascot like Namco's Pacman made it self a huge super-star and made things like Toys, t-shirt and even cartoon show but then came Mario in 1981 Donkey Kong and then it has a life of its own. After many Super Mario games Nintendo made Mario its Big N mascot and then came Sega's Sonic and trying to un-seat the Mario's Mascot's Kingdom! But after many years of "The Console Wars" with both Nindendo's Super NES and Sega's Genesis in a no hold-bars Mario vs. Sonic with funny cacth frase like Sega's "Ninten-dont" and Nintendo's "Gen-isn't" in the end Mario came out the winner and to making it worst for Sega they made Soinc game for Nintendo's consoles... Well here's my take on who's the king of video gaming baby!

So how does an ordinary Italian from Brooklyn reach international superstar status? Well lets look at his past jobs,

A Carpenter - from Donkey Kong 1981.
A Jailer - from Donkey Kong JR 1982.
A Plubmer - from Super Mario Bros 1985.
A Ariplane Piolt - from Super Mario Land 1989.
A Doctor- from Dr.Mario 1990.
A Super Hero - from Super Mario World 1991.
A Golf Player - from Golf 1985.
A Feferee - from NES Punch-Out!! 1987.
A Painter - from Mario Paint 1992.
A Baker - from Yoshi's Cookie.
A Kart Racer - from Super Maio Kart 1991.
A Fighter - from Super Smash Bros 1997.

And so on and so on...

I like Sonic better, but this is amusing.

Actually, Sonic did unseat him once.

Sonic may be on the Nintendo, now; but at least Sonic's sticking to his roots. Mario hasn't been in a true platforming adventure since Sunshine [and even that's a little iffy, possibly having to date back to Super Mario 64]. Sonic's been sticking to his sidescrolling roots with Sonic Advance, and they're surprisingly amazing games in my opinion. While his console games haven't exactly been the best, I still think Mario needs to put a brand new adventure out on the table if he really wants to beat the blue hedgehog.

However, Mario did remain on the throne longer than Sonic could ever hope to. But just remember back when Mario was actually DETHRONED by Sonic... Name another real mascot that actually made people forget about Mario. Won't happen. XD

I also noticed that you used Sonic's older design... Decided to use an old-school flair for this pic? He may have stuck with this look in America 'til Sonic 3D Blast [except on the GameGear, where he sported the sleeker hedges], but after Sonic 1 in Japan, he had the sleek look, abandoning the sort of pudgy design... Rambling. Sorry. XD;

*sigh* I still love Sonic... Mario may have won, but Sonic to me at least is still a better character (and his gamecube games suck monkey-butt)
