Does anyone like Sonic AND Mario?

them all (this was in an EGM). I'm just wondering if anybody here likes Sonic
and Mario equally, or at least close, like I do. It kind of seems that nearly
everytime Mario is mentioned, he gets bad-mouthed.

Sure, both characters are nice.
They both lend to the gaming world their own qualities and flaws, meaning,
yes, they are pretty much the same.
Although people have been getting sick of Mario recently because the
more popular games are getting to be similar, like Mega Man's sequels.
Also, that brooklyn/italian accent is a mark for his humiliation.
I'd love to kill every racist that makes fun of Mario for his accent.

I like 'em both just fine, although I think after Super Mario World

I know. What is wrong with Mario? Wait.......don't answer that, I know what your

What happened? I've heard people complain that he's fat, he likes pasta a
little too much, his voice has too thick of an accent (which they changed
later), and tht his games are too similar....but....I don't know, I just
defeated any arguments that I could have put up in his defense. Anyway, I
like Mario (maybe it's just left over from when I was four years old, and I
got a Nintendo. I used to LOVE Mario games, watched the TV show, and even
had Nintendo stickers on the wall in my room).

I don't have anything against Mario. The Mario games are pretty cool,
the cartoons are... well... not bad, and the movie was pretty cool,
also.

I have the feeling Namco is too busy with other things, such as arcades.
pity though, if Pac Man still lived today, it could possibly be on of the
most long lived characters ever.

Well, I like Sonic a lot more than I like Mario, but I like Sonic a lot more
than just about everything else, too! ^_^ I do like mario though, I've
enjoyed every Mario game ever made (except Yoshi's Story, which isn't really
a "Mario" game, and the only reason I can say I didn't enjoy it is because I
haven't actually played it ^_-).. I felt the same way about most of the
Mario comics/cartoons as the Sonic ones, they're ..just not my thing. I find
Mario isn't as replayable as Sonic, but he's still cool!

I like both of them about equally. Can't really say which one I like
better, although I haven't been keeping track of what Mario's been up to
lately.

Funny you should mention that. I also read in an EGM that Namco is
constructing a 3-D Pac-Man game! I saw it, too (I'll give out details if
anyone wants me to). And, for the record, I agree. Pac-Man IS awesome!

I like Mario. He's pretty cool. Don't get me wrong, but I must give my thanks
to Mario because he got me into the gaming world, (along with DuckHunt ^_^).
But after learning about Sonic with the Genesis I got for Christmas that year,
I went crazy. I like Sonic much better than Mario. The only game that I think
was awesome for Mario is, indeed, Mario 64. (probably b cuz it was the first 3D
game I played like that.)
I still won't face the truth, however, that Sonic was influenced BY Mario.
Never. I will NEVER face that fact.

To finally comment on an on-topic subject (yay),
I'd like to say that I personally don't believe that
Sonic was based on Mario. Just as Mario has
inspired many similar platformers, Sonic pushed
the video gaming industry into the speed age. The
unforgettable blue blur also inspired his fair share
of fast-paced platformers, like the recently men-
tioned Jazz Jackrabbit, Aero the Acrobat, and
some other odd game where the main hero had
a huge, red, spiked.. hairstyle. Mario is known for
slower adventures that have a timeless feel. Sonic's
mission is to keep with the times, constantly adapt-
ing to maintain his quick and upbeat image.
There are some similarities, like rings and coins,
but in all honesty, many video games before both
of them (and even afterwards) had things in them
which you could collect. Treasures and items are
just as classic as videogames themselves are.
Sure, you just collected a whole lot of nothing in
pong (other than points in some knockoffs and
bragging rights with any version), but it wasn't long
before video games had other things popping up in
them.
Also.. Pac-Man rules.

Unfortunately, it's true. Naka said it himself two years ago... three. (I was
in 6th grade when I read it, so yea, three years ago.) It was something about
celabrating Sonic's 5th? And in a magazine, I can't remember which one, but in
a magazine, it said something about Naka being inspired by Mario, and that he
did have the Sonic game be based a lot like Mario, which after seeing Sonic 1
for the first time AFTER playing Mario 1, it sort of did have a lot in common
with Mario.
Monitors: The ? Blocks from Mario.
Invincibility star: The star shield monitor from Sonic.
Killing a bad guy: By jumping on them.
Points/Health: Coins/Rings.
Mario one level ending: Take down the flag and into the castle.
All Sonic level endings: Spin around some flag like post and leave off screen.
If Naka admit it, (and if he did, [and he created Sonic] it must be true) then
he ain't lying. But I will never accept that fact.

It isn't really a sad thing that Sonic was some-
what inspired by Mario, but in all honesty, you
really can't say that he was heavily based on
him.. like my last message said, some of the
similarities are very standard. In many action
games, you collect things. For instance, in
Hudson's Adventure Island (which did come
after Mario but before Sonic), you collect fruit
and break power-ups free from eggs. Amongst
these power-ups is a skateboard, which makes
you go considerably faster, as long as you don't
hurt yourself on the way. Now, there's something
that Mario -didn't- have.. a way to speed up. Was
it taken from Adventure Island? I doubt it.
It's a well-known fact that Mario revolutionized the
video gaming world with the ability to "jump," and
that he's also known for his fondness for mush-
rooms. Why Nintendo has never done a promotion
for Mario including mushroom pizzas from some-
where, I'll never know, but that's beside the point.
Sonic is a platformer, that can't be denied. How-
ever, it's different enough to -not- be considered
a Mario clone/copy, no matter who said it is. If
he was originally intended to just be based en-
tirely on Mario, he would've never been so suc-
cessful, because he wouldn't be anything new.
Yet, he took the world by storm with the speed
that was dubbed "blast processing," his sheer
originality in being a blue, sentient Hedgehog,
and the fun of it all thrown together.
Yes, Sonic gets items from monitors as Mario
gets items from blocks, but you don't see the
blue blur growing upon touching a mushroom..
if he did, Angel Island would've had one helluva
problem when -he- arrived. No, he gets things
like the aforesaid speed-up, rings themselves,
various kinds of shields, something that could
do more hurt than help (although Mario did get
this in SMB2J), and invincibility (which is yet
another thing that definitely isn't exclusive to
Mario -or- Sonic).
It's one thing to accept what someone else has
said for the whole truth, while it's another to take
a moment or two to really think about what they
said and meant.
Meuriz
Well, he'll still have to avoid ghosts, eat power pellets and different types
of fruit (which act as power-ups) and basically do what he has to do to exit a
level. This 3-D update won't be as simple as the arcade predecessor, though.
It'll have a bright and colorful world, teeming with mazes, puzzles, platforms,
and bosses. Someone thought that it was for the Nintendo 64 (it's for the
PlayStation). That's how good it looks (really!). Pac-Man will be trying out
new activities like flying and swimming, The game will also include the
original arcade game in a 3-D form!

I don't particualy like the character of Mario(ooh... exciting...) but I
do enjoy the games. Sure, they aren't graphical excetera, excetera, btu they're
classics, and they're fun to play.
And no, I don't wished to be flamed about that statement.

Yetch, Pokemon. The game sounds like fun, from what I've heard, but the
TV show is terrible. I've seen every episode (I'm ashamed to admit),
only because I never felt like changing the channel at 7:00 in the
morning when I had been watching TV for about an hour (I do that on
school days so that I can relax a little before school. Sadly, there's
not much good stuff on at that time).
But, I've always liked Mario.

better than half the crap that's on TV. Probably because it's anime,
which is the best thing about the show IMO. But compared to the shows on
TV today I'd say that it's better than
Mummies Alive!
That Dragon Flyz show
Reruns of Full House
Just about any TV movie
Any MTV generation-x drama
99% of prime-time sitcoms
Psi-factor (a canadian show. It's like the X-files only it sucks)
UH-OH! (canadian games-show type thing produced by YTV. It's like, really
bad. and they should take it off TV and get rid of whoever that Nick
Yahoo guy is, who was also on the really lame YTV show IT'S ALIVE! and
kick him out of the TV business)
Compared to other video game based shows I'd rank it like this
Way below Sonic, Earthworm Jim and the other good ones
I'd put it below the original Super Mario Bros. Super Show but above THE
ADVENTURES OF SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 and Super Mario World. And the worst
video-game based show would have to be Maniac Mansion. They took a good
game and turned it into a really lame sitcom that didn't have anything to
do with the game except for the characters names and they occasionally
mentioned the purple meteor. that socks.

So, are you Canadian? Do you speak French? If so, then I understand why
your writing is the way it is (SFR 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.......263......1,479).
The show Pokemon looks like it was made for 7 year olds, or other people with
no concept of science or reality (I'm not talking about the elements of
fantasy in the show, I'm talking about the truly stupid things they might do.
I wouldn't be surprised if somebody's hand got stock to a piece of iron
because it was magnetised). Not only that, but every creature in the world is
a pokemon, it seems. What ever happened to plain old animals? I could go on,
but I don't feel like it. And Miyasha, if your reading this, and you really
want me to continue because you don't believe I have anything else to say
about it, tell me to, and I will.

You know what, Mark, shut the fuck up.
I don't give a damn if you like Pokemon
or not, I don't really like it either. The
truth of the matter is that it WAS made
for seven year olds based off one of
those preppy tamogatchi things. Those
piss me off too. I'm not going to scream
at you for not doing your research,
as I did with sailor moon.
See you have this big problem. You
misconcieve everything. Did you

No! I was screaming at you because
you're an ignorant bastard. There IS

I don't GIVE a damn about your
opinion no matter if you're agreeing
with me or not. I -DO- give a damn
when you start talking shit about
stuff you ain't ever seen before.
So, if you'd be so kind as to drop
the bullshit and get off the Pokemon
track. If you haven't realized it, this
IS a SONIC newsgroup. Oo. Big
revelation. Why don't you
CONTRIBUTE and talk about
something SONIC related and not
one of your big, science book
fanfic things? Oh, one more thing.

I would never of said that but since you do... Sega is in deep trouble. At the

Playstation that has the upper hand. I wonder if the Nintendo CD-Rom will change
that... Only time will tell

Anyway, I agree with what you said 100%. Nintendo has some very great games, and
they've always been one step ahead in their systems. I never used to even give
SEGA a thought until playing the Sonic games, which are the only reason I like it.

I would like to take Mr. Palenik's statement one step further. I like Nintendo.
Nintendo really knows how to make a system, ya know? My Genesis barely works at
all, and I can still turn on my NES and play it no problem! Nintendo has made
some great games, nobody can deny that, and they're still going strong.

era of the Nes and Master System, and then the Snes and Megadrive -
Genesis, whatever - nobody cared which was selling the most. I mean Sega
and Nintendo probably did, but I never heard about either one being
better or worse. They were alternatives. I only wish Dreamcast, PSX2000
and whatever Nintendo comes up with, could do the same.

Nope. Although it WILL make the N64 more powerful than the DreamCast,
but it's too little, too late I'm afraid, the N64 is almost extinct in
Japan, and not doing wonderfully in England/Europe, what it's like
over in the States, I don't know, but the N64 is having a bit of a
beating.

Really? where did you hear that? In any event, if N64 is almost extinct, then if I
mention SEGA Saturn to somebody, they'll probably ask when SEGA started an
interplanetary franchise. I find it hard to believe that the N64 is dying, since it's
the most powerful system out there right now. Systems like Playstation or Sega Saturn
came out quite a while before N64 did. Nintendo always seems to wait until other more
powerful systems come out, then improve them and make their own. And if it's too late
for N64, then it is FAR to late for SEGA. I don't know too many people who even take
the company seriously anymore (hmm....did that sound right?).....
And before I forget, I'm not really impressed by the Nintendo CD rom, or any other
system that uses a CD for it's games. The cartradges on the N64 are more than big
enough to hold the games that they make, the N64 has a wavetable sound system, so the
music sounds great, and the audio uses some type of compression/decompression meathod
that I don't know anything about. A CD add on doesn't seem like it would be that
useful.

In practically every gaming mag. The N64 is dying in Japan, and I don't
think Zelda would be enough to save it.

I think you missunderstood him (or I did). It's too late for the N64, but
not too late for Nintendo!

The usefullness of CDs would allow much better RPGs and much better 3D gfx.
If you look at most early N64 games, the gfx aren't that good (save Mario
and Waveracer). More data is always nicer. Also, having the games on CD
would lower the cost, as CDs are cheaper to make then ROM chips.

Die hard N64 fans think otherwise: They believe the add-on is a

But will the ability to support up to 42 million polygons make a

Wait, I'm confused. I thought that the 64DD (which ISN'T getting released
in the US last I checked...) was just a different way of getting I/O; I
didn't think it improved the N64 in any way. Am I wrong?

P.S. And those 42 million polygons, are they anti-aliased, gourad shaded,
trilinear mipmaped ... polygons?

Well....to some extent, although the anti aliasing is always poor, and the
goraud shading never seems that good.....but basicaly, I'd think it would look
exactly like it did before, except with a higher polygon count. Currently, I
think the N64 can display something like 500,000 polygons per second. So, most
likely the cd add on thing will bring up the total polygon count in the levels
to 42 million, which probably means no change in rendering.

So, let me get this straight, the 64DD will add RAM? I don't think that
would increase the polygon count at all, since they tried to maximize that
type of stuff. Also, I heard the DD is canned EVERYWHERE; has anyone else
heard that?

I believe it also enhances the N64's abilites, similar to the way the
Sega/Mega CD allowed a few more colours on screen of Megadrive/Genesis
games. What it does for the N64, I don't know.

July '99??????? Nooone will care! By then the DC will have a lot of good

dirt. It seems that they're going to rely too much on the Color Game Boy,
but does the big N really think that it'll support them?

That's what I thought; but then how in the world would the 64DD improve the
polygonal capabilities of the N64? Oh no! I'm now BELIEVING those idiots!

nope. I heard that it won't leave Japan if they don't release it in time for
the holiday season. Oh look, it was delayed (surprise surprise) to July 99,
which means that it won't leave Japan.
I think it'll come out in Japan, but with the more successful Playstation (and
the fantastic Dreamcast) out, will anybody care about it anymore?

The 64DD was a harware attachment that hooks up to the bottom of the N64
console.
It's main purpose was to be a *Disk Drive* (DD) for the N64, with add-ons and
such for the games. Ex: Nintendo's racing game, F-Zero X, was supposed to
utilize the DD so one could use an expansion pak with new tracks, new cars, and
the like.
It was also supposed to have a hook up for your GameBoy so you could transfer
your data to an N64 cart. Ex: You could transfer the different Pokemon from
gameboy cart onto your Pokemon Stadium cartridge and battle your pokemon in
full 3D. This function was replaced by a little device called the 64GB
controller pak (pop in the cart, pop that into your controller, and presto,
instant data transfer).
The 64DD would NOT add RAM. They have the 4MB RAM expansion pak for that.
I, too, have heard that the 64DD has been canned everywhere. So don't count on
it coming here.
I just thought I would clear that up for you all. I'm done now.

Well, I heard that Nintendo has already started on it's nxt console, but from
the rumor I heard it'll be a disaster plauged with delays. (Why? The rumor said
the people behind the N64's technology are creating it! ARGH!!!!)

Actually, the 64DD is a Disk Drive, like a Floppy kinda thing. You can use it
to download games to play and that sort of thing. I really think that
N(intendo) Is repeating the mistake Sega made with the SegaCD. Oh well, it's
not the first time a company has screwed up with their system (Or screwed their
system)
GrnAshura
>heard
>that it's coming in America on March 99.
... which would be 3 months before it comes out in Japan. Not likely. Did you
hear that from your N64 friends?
GrnAshura
>games,
There's already more games being made for DC than N64 has right now.
>the PSX2, will have come out,
No, Sorry. I don't think that the PSX2 will be out untill much later in the
year, if not before 2000 at all.
> and where will the N64 be? Down in the
>dirt.
Yep. Seems that way.
> It seems that they're going to rely too much on the Color Game Boy,
Hey, GB Color is cool, from what I heard, I wonder how much trading in my Game
Gear in it's damaged state could shave off the price of a GameBoy Color at
Funcoland.

Exacty. But, I'd have to say I like PSX best of all.
