Do we really need to use the spoiler tag with 20+ years old games? I won't use it.

I was a SEGA follower (I don't like the fanboy term) back then and it obviously affects choice, which is Sonic.

I agree that Mario World is a better game, but after playing both games (a friend of mine had the SNES and the game) I had more fun with Sonic than with Mario for a variety of reasons: the urge to collect the rings to be safe against eneimes and get extra lives, the PCs with power ups like the shield, the different music styles, the animals that run free when you killed their mechanical trap... yep, I liked Sonic more than Mario.

Well, the few seconds it would take to obscure spoilers is a small price to pay in order to avoid spoiling a game for even one person. It's not that big of a deal with games like Mario and Sonic, obviously, but it does matter with others. I'm just putting that disclaimer in all my threads as a precaution. I've already had several games spoiled for me on this site and I'd hate for it to happen to someone else.
