Crash easily. Mario 64 is not even in the same league. Crash was amazing, Mario 64 made a good franchise worse. Mario 64 was average at best and even the graphics look horrible.


Brace Yourself!!!111!!

Mario went from 2D to 3D and revolutionize the genre for all future platformers while Crash really was average until his squeals came out. Edge goes to SM64 IMO.

Back in the days every gamer asked the same question. Super Mario 64 or Crash Bandicoot? I'm shocked that we still compare these games. To me the answer is obvious. Super Mario 64 is by far the better game. It is miles ahead of anything Crash ever delivered.

Crash barely qualifies as a 3D platformer. The third one was good, the first one is meh.

SM64 is more influential, more revolutionary and simply more ambitious. Let's be honest here, Crash fully deserves his horrible death after that commercial where he insulted Nintendo/Mario in front of their headquarters. The same goes for Sega and Sonic after the "Genesis does what Nintendon't" commercials". Now Sonic is nothing more but an amiibo costume in Super Mario Maker, a character in Super Smash Bros and a Mii skin in Mario Kart 8. Sonic is Nintendo's bitch.

Crash wishes he was an amiibo costume in Super Mario Maker.

Its no competition. Even at the time, crash wasnt a very good game. Mario nailed 3D platforming, Crash just did crappy 2D in 3D and running towards and from the camera. They were worlds apart in the technical level.
Crash is just a nostalgia brand because it was on the cheaper and more popular system and many got exposed to it as children.


PS1 and N64 were both $199.99. One of the main reasons why Crash did so well is because at the time, Mario was viewed as a kiddy game. Sony did a good job during the PS1/PS2 eras of making sure their platformers had an edge to them. They knew, just as Sega did, that Nintendo would always struggle creating games that appealed to teens and young adults and they were able to capitalize on it.

And yet the Genesis beat the SNES in the US and the PS1 destroyed the N64 WW. In that respect, I fail to see your point. At the time, both mascots helped their respective systems beat Nintendo so one could easily argue that it was a good idea.

My point is that I don't mourn their death. They had it coming with their arrogance. SNES beat Genesis anyway.

Well I'm just gonna say that Mario 64 probably outsold all the crash games and every sonic game every. All though obv PS destroyed N64 saleswse I don't think that was much to do with crash.

Not in the US my friend... and that's where Sega used those arrogant commercials.
