It's pretty simple, guys...

Oh, and Mods, I'd like your opinion on this, too, please.

It will always be Mario.

Luigi is conspiring against Mario, and plans to eventually thwart him by using his superior jumping ability.

Sonic came out swinging and flooding the NGC with a plethora of his titles.. actually.. pretty much ALL of his titles. (SA1, SA2, Collection, Heroes, ect)

Mario has only had ONE premier title to himself - a half-hearted effort compaired to Mario 64. He's been featured in a few other games, but the focus definately isn't on him. Wario is even beating Mario.. which is sad.

The match isn't over yet, but I think it's fair to say that unless the next Mario title is a blockbuster - Sonic will have won this match easily.

I've heard the news that Mario's grasp on Nintendo is slipping. As Sinue pointed out, he's only had one title, and a piece of crap at that...

It is of my personal opinion (You know, the guy who started this poll) that it's either going to be Link, or Sonic/Shadow.

Link is a good runner up, and someone I could be happy with Sonic loosing to if he HAS to loose. Link is a very popular character. His new Wind Waker "Celda" image hasn't gone over too well - but the game is fun, and people largely remember him for how he was presented in OoT, SSB:M, and SC II.

I think a little more thought and programming goes into a newly released Mario title then the Wario games and Sonic games, don't you? Half of the titles with sonic available for GC are complete bs rehashes that have been tossed from system to system.

Regardless if you think Sunshine was crap compared to Mario64, you would be lying if you said the game wasn't good by general games on the market (people just like to complain...I thought Sunshine was a great game).

Saying someone besides Mario is the Nintendo poster-child is just complete bullshit in my mind...and even if there is a "heated" runner up out of the selected, I think that title goes to Link and the Zelda series.

Sonic is just a homeless mascot who's whoring himself out to any system that will cough up the dough to see him go fast in (slightly) different levels.

...

Sonic and Crash Bandicoot both go to Rejection therapy now every tuesdays and thursdays.
