Poor man's mario? Poor man's mario? Sonic is waaaaaaaay different than that cliche, no character , overrated , italian stero type. Say what you want about his games but Sonic actually is a unique character who borrowed Mario's style and made it better. His rep has been tarnished thanks to sega and there **** practices but Sonic is in no way shape or form a Mario clone or poor man's Mario. Sonic has proven himself time and time again to be the better character. mario just has better games but his character is boring and bland. There is reason why each movie and show made from Mario was trash. He sucks as a character. Meanwhile Sonic has had countless incarnations and iterations. Poor man's Mario my ***. The fan base of sonic is horrid too but hey it's alot bigger than Mario's fanbase. If sega got there **** together and stop dicking around Sonic would bury Mario again just like he did in the 90s.
