Sonic VS Mario VS Crash Bandicoot
By Oliver Earl
A superspeed Hedgehog, a fireball-throwing, flying fat plumber and a Anthropomorphic bandicoot. The battle has been debated for years. Who is the strongest?
Note: This debate is not biased. I am not in favour for just 1 of them. I own all their games and like them equally.
Sure, Mario has been around for longer. His first debate on the arcade game Donkey Kong, and then his first proper hit in Super Mario Bros. Since then he has gained new features and abilities. Such as the feather, cape, his pal Yoshi, coloured caps, flowers, suits and mushrooms. Clearly with all these features, Mario is undoubtably invincible.
But mainly from 1991 onwards, he had heavier competition. The name: Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic's first main debut was on the Sega Mega-Drive/Genesis (Although there was versions on the Sega Master System and Game Gear). Sonic was a blue hedgehog who could run at the speed of sound. Also with the access of the "Chaos Emeralds" he could morph into a "Super Saiyan" form, known as Super Sonic. Where his hair would spike up, his eyes would glow red and his body would turn a bright golden-yellow. This gave him the ability to fly, become invincible and run insanly fast. Sonic and Mario from then on were heavy competition.
After the launch of the Sony Playstation, a developer team named Naughty Dog wanted to create a character that was heroic, yet goofy. They made just the thing. Crash Bandicoot. A hit worldwide, and became a heavy competior to Mario quite a bit more than Sonic. (EX: Mario Kart 64, CTR: Crash Team Racing and Sonic R)
Crash Bandicoot has a lot of features and abilities too (From Crash Bandicoot Warped onwards). He can run midly fast, sneak, activate super belly flops, has a Fruit Bazooka, owns a motorbike, can spin rapidly like a tornado, can double jump, can call his polar bear or lizard for assistance and can use the aid of his witchdoctor mask "Aku Aku" to make him invincible.
So there we have it. It's up to you to decide who is the greatest. Don't just say "Mario" or "Sonic" for the reasons that they are faster or because you grew up with one particular character. Use the information I have gave you in this article.
Thanks for reading.
