Oooo, nice matchup, reigniting old rivalries.

For me it's Mario by a landslide, as not only is the original SMB a masterclass in design, but I honestly never found Sonic that good. The graphics and music were cool, but when you're going fast its more like watching a video than playing a game as its too fast to really do much, and when you slow down the actual platforming feels too loose and imprecise.

Wow I’m surprised! You and I are on polar opposite ends of the spectrum: I find Mario Bros NES to be a very tedious and boring game, whereas Sonic has left me blown away, spending hours perfecting movement, memorizing paths, and getting lost while exploring each level.
