Sonic the Hedgehog wasn't a launch game, it came out nearly 3 years after the Genesis launched and you should finally admit that the DKC games were technically vastly superior to Super Mario World.
OK I stand corrected, but the console was released much later here in Europe. Sonic the Hedgehog I believe was the primary reason why the Mega Drive sold well over here.
With regard to DKC games... IMO mainly pre-rendered graphics vs ordinary handdrawn cartoony-like graphics.
