Mario = good. Sonic = bad.
And the Mario characters are far, far, far better than the Sonic characters. |
I'm trying to think of the game where Mario characters were actually evolved, given more personality definition, back story, emotions, and just plain character progression - I can't think of any NES games that had any of that at all, whatsoever.... Mario 3 had "Princess Letters" coing to you, but they weren't -that much- in terms of development, more of explanation of the next area, as I recall.
Mario Kart possibly, but really only the voice acting and one-line scripts for victories.
Mario RPG - now that's where we actually have plot, some progression, home towns, emotional reactions to events and phrases, interactions.....
Dare I say, I don't think the Mario franchise had much more than voice acting, grunts and sounds before Mario RPG came along. Perhaps Mario RPG was the real definitive franchise game where characters actually were given a persona beyond on-screen looks and yelling.
Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players
Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability
Therefore, Checkers > Halo
So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.
