Resolved: Mario wouldn't win a fight against Sonic the Hedgehog

I would agree with my opponent when he states that, in the first round, Mario has not yet triumphed over Sonic the Hedgehog, but that was only my opening argument. =] Counter Counter Point 1: My opponent stated in the beginning that "[I have] not shown that Mario could triumph but only tie with sonic". It would seem that in his first counter point he has done the exact same thing with Sonic the Hedgehog. He has not yet told me what Sonic the Hedgehog would do to attack Mario, only how Sonic the Hedgehog would defend himself from Mario's attacks. My opponent also states that "[he is] pretty sure Sonic could run away from [Mario's Fire Flower fireball]". Would this not mean that Sonic the Hedgehog is running away from Mario, thus forfeiting the match, proving Mario to be the victor? I'll let the voters decide on this, unless they would like to move onward in the debate, in which case I will continue. Counter Counter Point 2: I would like to state that yes, Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario both have the ability to obtain invincibility, but if they can both become invincible, their battle would be a battle of immortals, rendering neither of them victorious. At this point, I would like to remove invincibility from the debate, as it is becoming a crutch for both of us to lean on. Counter Counter Point 3: I would now also like to remove companions from the debate, as this debate is about a battle between Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario, not their friends. Counter Point 4: My opponent's statement claiming that Mario's greatest achievement was defeating a giant horned turtle (King Bowser Koopa) is false. He has faced the Shadow Queen: An ancient demon from the "dark beyond," the Shadow Queen came to the Mushroom World with designs on enslaving it and becoming its tyrannical ruler. Prior to the start of the game, she destroyed an ancient civilization and began a conquest on the entire world with the aid of numerous monsters and the Crystal Stars (. http://www.mariowiki.com...). He also faces off against Sir Grodus, the supreme leader of the extraterrestrial organization called the Secret Society of X-Nauts. Another enemy he has triumphed over is a giant dragon named Hooktail, whose only weakness is the sound of a cricket. If Sonic the Hedgehog was able to defeat Shadow the Hedgehog and Dr. Eggman, what's keeping Mario from doing so as well? My opponent has failed to tell me this. Point 5: Now, if Sonic the Hedgehog decided not to wholly defend himself or run away, in which case he loses, Mario could use a lightning bolt from Mario Kart 64 to shrink Sonic the Hedgehog and inevitably slow him down leaving him vulnerable to Mario's stomp or hammer smash. Mario also has the Slow Flower, which when obtained, can slow down time so that Sonic the Hedgehog could not run from or attack Mario, or Mario could use a Speed Flower so that he could catch Sonic the Hedgehog and squish the stuffing out of him. These are just a few of the more than 1,000 things Mario has in his arsenal. Point 6: Depending on what world they fight in, whether it's Mario's or Sonic the Hedgehog's, Mario has a slight advantage: A. Mario's worlds are generally square being a jumping platform game. Sonic the Hedgehog can only truly express his powers on round levels where he can roll at high speeds. B. In Sonic the Hedgehog's worlds, surfaces are usually rounded, making it a prime environment for Sonic the Hedgehog to perform, but Mario also has the ability to sit down on a hill and slide down at a high velocity to take out his opponents. So in Mario's world, Mario has the upper-hand, and in Sonic the Hedgehog's world, they can still only tie at the most due to the environments. I believe I have explained how Mario can successfully defeat Sonic the Hedgehog, and I hope my opponent can explain how, if at all, Sonic the Hedgehog can defeat Mario.
