Nothing new to me, I always thought it was way inferior than SMB3. And yeah, I actually think the linear, action-oriented Sonic the Hedgehog is a better game overall.





The first 4 sonic games ( 1 CD 2 3&K) are collectively better than first 4 Mario games. Sonic got better each game while Mario kept falling slightly then coming back. SMB>SMB2 ( any version)

 

While I agree with the second part of your comment (Sonic getting better, Mario getting worse), it's unfair to compare NES games to Genesis games, which ultimately wouldn't have existed without Super Mario as inspiration.

 

Yes comparing 16 to 8 bit games puts the 8bit games to a distinct disadvantage.  Of course, with Sonic, 16 bit was better than everything else that followed.  Sonic didn't translate.  Mario has though.
