Counterpoint 1: Sonic... Laughs at Mario for his puny bomb," perhaps, but the bo-bomb has feelings and would probably think Sonic was laughing at IT instead of Mario and then walk away crying, plausibly either simply far enough away so as not to damage Sonic OR to Mario, being too cocky to notice that the bomb is walking towards him. "Mario could just eat an invincible star and wait," Mario's invincible form only lasts for a few brief moments, while Sonic remains Super Sonic for a much longer period of time. He'd probably be like "pfft I'm gonna win his fight anyway, so I'll just get som more rings so I can stay Super Sonic for the ending," and then get those rings, and Mario would no longer be invincible. Even if there was another invincible star nearby, Sonic could simply dart straight into him, thus stopping him from eating it. He also does not need rings to remain Darkspine Sonic. Counterpoint 2: "Mario could use his frog suit," true, but you forgot that Sonic, Darkspine or not, can use either a speed break to turn himself into a speeding projectile, thus not only knocking Mario clean out of the water, but also tearing his frog suit off. "Mario could use the P-Wing... And Sonic couldn't chase him!" Actually, you forgot that his super form grants him flight and he therefore COULD chase Mario. As for potentially running out of rings, he would be too fast. Slowing down time with a Slow Flower would also be pointless because of Sonic's speed break ability. He could also use a Time Break to slow Mario down Counterpoint 3: "What about the ice flower? Sure, Dark Sonic has pyrokinesis, but is it more powerful than Mario's ice flower?" Actually it is. Although Sonic needs a type of energy in order to do time breaks and speed breaks, this energy restores itself. Even if he was in the path of one of Mario's ice blasts, he would already be going so fast as to have enough remaining inertia to fly through the ice block. Even if you can disprove this, Sonic would still be able to go much faster with a Speed Break. Nothing can stop Sonic when he is going at his top speed. Since Sonic constantly regains the energy, this would render he ice flower utterly useless. Counterpoint 4: Your argument about Mario using the invincibility leaf is invalid, because first of all Sonic could choose to be Darkspine Sonic, then use a speed break to form a cloud of dust around Mario, then swoop down to clear the dust around a dirt-blinded, coughing Mario, and then wait until he had regained enough energy and fly circles around Mario repeatedly, tearing his Tanooki suit off, then do a speed break to ram Mario straight into a wall. As Super Sonic, he could do the same thing, but without a time break, OR he could run around randomly, thereby overwhelming Mario and making his head spin, allowing Sonic enough time to dart down from well above Earth into Mario, which would cause a sonic explosion, sending Mario plummeting down to the Earth's core, burning the Invincibility leaf. The gravity would spin Mario around, making it implausible for him to accurately dart through the hole because he would be so dizzy. Therefore, if there is technically a winner, it is Sonic. Counterpoint 5: as for your argument about Mario's strength, Sonic would be able to use a Time Break to figure out what Mario was trying to do, or he could simply go so fast that Mario could not stop him with a Speed Break. He could also use a homing attack, which hits so fast that Mario would at least not prepared for the first one.
