Mario is better than Sonic

I agree with your statement about what exactly is "better". Since you wrote a lot about how Mario can defeat Sonic even if Sonic uses his trademark attacks. But according to a reliable source, these powers and abilities might just give Sonic the edge: "Super Speed: Often referred to as the "Fastest Thing Alive", Sonic is well known for his speed. His best known clocks in at over 768 miles per hour. When boosting for a long time it is possible for his speed to reach over 2500mph. Sonic can use his speed while he's in spinball form to home in on targets in a similar fashion of heat seeking missiles. He is even capable of moving as fast as light with the aid of his Light Speed Attack. Sonic can use his speed to scale up building or similar structures and run across water. Sonic can also use his full speed while running backwards. Sonic also possesses great agility and acrobatic skills. His reaction time is also on par with his speed. He can avoid objects and attacks in an instant with his quickstep move, no matter how fast the attack is coming at him." We've already talked about his super-sonic speed but this one of the main ability which puts Sonic ahead of Mario, literally and figuratively. "Super Strength: While not known for his physical capabilities, Sonic possess a certain degree of superhuman strength.His Spin Dash is strong enough to break through solid structures and the metallic armor of multiple robots. His arms also yield great strength as he can tear a robot's body with his bare hands." I would like to differ with your point that Mario can be more powerful than Sonic. The ultimate power-ups, which majorly include edible fungi in different colors, don't actually make Mario a better individual. We are here to talk about which character is better and not the franchise providing us with easier and suitable ways to kill the enemy. "Combat Prowess: Despite receiving no formal training in self-defense, Sonic has been shown to be skilled in close-quarter combat. He has been shown to go against more experienced fighters, include those, stronger than him." Sonic defeats a mad scientist who is way stronger and has more protection than Bowser in every way. Mario is saving a Princess which is very repetitive and clich" and to be honest, it"s not helping the world or any place at all; the only place which is actually affected by Bowser is Mushroom Kingdom, a small place which is vulnerable to predictable attacks from the same villain. But Sonic is saving the world by defeating Eggman. Let's consider your power-up point for once; even in that area, Sonic proves to be greater. The two ultimate powers which most certainly make Sonic superior than Mario are "Super Sonic" and "Chaos Control". 1. Super Sonic is one of the most powerful of his transformations. Usually achieved when he acquires seven Chaos Emeralds, or one Super Emerald, Super Sonic has the ability to fly and is virtually invincible. His aura can negate negative energies, such as Perfect Chaos or Enerjak. 2. According to http://sonic.wikia.com..., "Chaos Control is a Chaos Power that first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2 which allows the user to warp time and space with the mystical Chaos Emeralds. While first introduced as a way to teleport over large distances, Chaos Control has since been evolved into an overall term for any supernatural reality manipulation conducted through the Chaos Emeralds, allowing incredible feats such as traveling through time and between dimensions, altering the fabric of reality, or freezing time. Chaos Control is also known to be the power source for various chaos energy-based Chaos Powers." In which Universe would Mario be a match for that?
