Even if I grew up with both franchises I always prefered Mario's games over Sonic's, but in terms of the movie adaptations I vote for Sonic, because they are actual movies and not just a rollercoaster ride filled with a bunch of references
My thoughts exactly.
Not, i pick the Mario movies is most creative than Sonic trash

I pick the sonic movies, the Mario movies just feels like the game references the movie, compared to the sonic movies, who do their own things also
Same
I wish Mario movie became a cinematic universe
Sonic Movies were better in Story Telling and impact
@@StevenJones851 Yeah, while I loved the Mario movies, the Sonic movies had better storytelling and characters, this is probably a opinion, but Sonic characters are better than Mario characters, and also in the Sonic franchise you have a lot of ideas to pull from
@@snowdude8583 i agree with this Sonic Characters are more interesting and have better Storylines
I'm voting for Sonic. I've grown to appreciate Mario, but Sonic has been my childhood hero since Sonic 2 (Genesis). And the fact that Sonic has been reinvigorated into the limelight makes me so happy.
Same
i'd go mario and i grew up wth sonic but mario hit different but nice guys
Yes Sonic
@@user-ko8kv1dh4u yes nice buddy's
Sonic never dropped out of the limelight in the first place.
Both movies were good, but Sonic was definitely of better quality. Who would have thought I’d say that?
I gotta give my vote to the Sonic movies. I'll admit that I have a bit of a Sonic bias, but even as just movies, I feel like the Sonic movies had much better characters and pacing, which definitely helped make the watching experience more enjoyable. I will also say that while I do like references, I prefer them being more subtle and not in my face, which is actually another reason why I can say I prefer the Sonic movies. So yeah, I think I'll just stick with Sonic and his movies.
Mario doesn’t have a lot of stories to tell, Sonic has so it’s obvious who is the better film series.
Exactly
That doesn’t mean Mario can’t tell a story like in the Sonic movie
@@richardperaza5083 true, but it means that Sonic can be more unique and interesting in storytelling whereas Mario will probably stay faithful (especially due to how much it made)
@@AAlex-wg8ml true but the mario movie has made more of a story and several mario games that heve seperate stories and they nver failed fr although sonic has had seperate stories he has failed with them NOT BEING SAID IT'S BAD BUT BOTH HAVE THEIR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES in plot wise
so mario
As a fan of both Mario and Sonic games, I pick Sonic because I was really impressed with the direction of the movies. They do new things with the story and explore themes that you can remember the movies for (friendship in 1, responsibility in 2). The characterization is great across the board, especially for the characters coming from the games, which fans primarily care about. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all stood out amongst each other with personalities that complimented both the writing and each other. Not just that, but their dynamics and interactions really make these movies stand out: the after-dance and sunset beach scenes where Sonic has a heart-to-heart with Tails and Knuckles were so much better than they had any right to be. Also the comedy at its best is UNHINGED and I love it. And going from that to the Mario Movie, I was pretty disappointed. It wasn’t so much of a visionary take on the source material as it was a corporate extension of the source material. I didn’t get excited about seeing these constant Easter eggs everywhere (it is nice to have, though) because the trailers did that already. Most of the Brooklyn scenes were my favorite parts because it had Mario and Luigi together (the best dynamic only because the rest sucked) and it’s the only time where I’m learning something about characters that I don’t already know. While the characters were how I expected them to be, it wasn’t enough: Luigi is wasted, Peach is a girl-boss who is perfect at everything just to make Mario look weak and foolish, Toad might as well not exist, Donkey Kong has badly written motivation, and Bowser (who was the best character on his own merit) just doesn’t do enough. And in the general, the movie just isn’t funny. It has me worried about the inevitable future movies, because at some point the one-trick novelty of being painfully faithful WILL wear off.
In this regard, I can understand why critics gave the Mario movie a 59% on Rotten Tomatoes. Between the Sonic movies and Mario movie, it’s quality vs. quantity. And no, Sonic doesn’t get the quantity just because he has more movies than Mario. Mario is the one that gets the quantity because of how much it felt like they were rushing through the game lore and showing everything about this video game character, rather than taking their time with it and truly developing all of that stuff through multiple films. As a result, the sequels are most likely not going to feel as special or even more special than the first film. The Mario movie went all out with the game references but didn’t do much with the substance of those references. The Sonic movies are the quality because they try to make something deep out of a video game franchise, and they’re taking their time developing this cinematic universe. The first movie started out as an origin story for Sonic and Eggman, and then the second movie ups the ante by having Tails, Knuckles, the Master Emerald, an Eggman that’s more game accurate (hopefully the third movie will finally make him fat), and Super Sonic. The Sonic movies sparingly use the game references, but they go all out with the substance of those references. That’s why I think that the Sonic movies are better than the Mario movie.
I agree. Even though more references to the music or game settings would be nice, I'm getting used to not seeing those elements (for once they are not reusing Chemical Plant Zone or Sky Sanctuary lmao). I personally like that they are taking their time to properly introduce the characters and attempt to add details to resonate with a mainstream audience that surely is not familiar with the games (especially after the rocky franchise). I like that more than just putting the characters in a situation since we are already supposed to be familiar with the characters (even though this is truly the first mainstream Hollywood adaptation of Mario and Co. since they live-action film only focused on Mario, Luigi, and Bowser)
@@supersaiyanfox9190 I unfortunately got spoiled on Super Sonic being in 2 thanks to a YT thumbnail, but I was still very excited to see it happen nonetheless. It ain’t just Super Sonic existing, it’s symbolic of Sonic completing and fully understanding his character arc, now knowing what it means to be a true hero and given the power to let him do awesome things like stopping the Death Egg Robot’s punch without flinching (kinda like Disney’s Hercules). Then Mario uses the star with Luigi, a VERY similar setup to above, but it feels a lot more empty by comparison. Mario nearly stumbles his way through the movie and Luigi hides in a dumpster (Mario also went through training AND has experience while Luigi doesn’t have any), yet they can perform perfectly together with the Star... The Robotnik fat suit is interesting, it’s not something I’d advocate for but I’m sure its inclusion will be super funny as hell (Robotnik just falls into a depression after 2 and eats too many eggs or something).
I agree with this the Mario Movies was ok but the Sonic Movies were great
@@supersaiyanfox9190the Mario Movie needed better Story telling
I have to say sonic, in all honesty it feels like it can be more of a movie series than mario can. Also i can imagine that the main sonic cast being on earth will feel less odd in the 3rd film, which is seeming to be taking a lot of inspiration from sa2

I definitely vote Sonic! Not only am I a huge Sonic fan and am very VERY excited for the third Sonic movie coming in December, but I just feel like the Sonic movies did a better job of being a movie where Mario was just Mario stuff the molded into a movie. The Mario movie had terrible pacing in my opinion however I fully understand why people like it especially if you’re a Mario fan who loves fun references. Also, can we get more Sonic music in the movies please?
Sonic 3’s gonna have live & learn
I’ve always liked the Sonic characters way more than the Mario characters. Never really enjoyed the Sonic games as much as gameplay goes but I still find myself playing some of the classic 2D games to this day.
You forgot that while Sonic 2 had the wedding scene Mario had the plumbing scene.
And a wedding scene
@@wisp2007 Yeah but one wedding scene was much better than the other one.
You forgot that Mario Movie was on big screen AFTER Sonic 1 and 2, so Nintendo saw the mistakes.
Atleast the plumbing scene features Mario and Luigi, while the wedding scene features Sonic's friend's girlfriend's sister! The plumbing scene is more apar to Sonic and Tails dancing russian scene.
I vote Sonic! Cant wait for the Knuckles series April 26th and Sonic 3 Dec 20th

I finally found someone who agrees with me! In the Mario movie i was even immersed in some scenes, like the final battle, but the chills i felt watching Sonic 2... Super Sonic scene... Post credits... *Live action is impressive.*
There are so many stories that need to be told in the sonic universe that I just can’t see it being thrown away. With Mario it’s the complete opposite due to it putting its focus on game references and nostalgia rather than the actual story that makes a movie.
Sonic universe doesn't have a lot creative creativity enemies and charathers, Mario universe yes have a lot creative creativity enemies and charathers Mario universe is very underrated, fault fandom Sonic universe trash

@@Witchcraft_gt bro, this guy is tóxic, typic fandom tóxic Sonic, Sonic universe is satire 💀💀💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️
Sonic forever!! But i really like Mario too.
To me, the Sonic movies take it because the characters feel like they’re genuinely trying to be like they’re Sonic characters. The Mario movie characters feel more like the actors imposing their own personality onto an image of the Mario characters. Also it feels the Mario movie’s references feel more like they’re obligatory at best and are just there for the sake of making a reference.
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!
I feel like the thing with Sonic is, yeah, it’s Sonic in the real world among humans, but so are half of his games. The Adventure games, Unleashed, 06. Heck even Sonic X was a similar premise. So I really don’t have much issue with Sonic hanging with humans because it’s happened many times before.
A human even kissed sonic
A buddy of mine recommend this to me. Perfectly encapsulates this whole debate imo. Great job! 👏
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!
The Sonic movies in my opinion!!!
I vote sonic I enjoyed the fleshing out the characters and the new take on the hedgehog
The Sonic Movie 2 is better than the Mario Movie. But the Mario movie is a better start for the franchises. We're probably not just going to see Mario movies. but also other Nintendo franchises. Illuminations was interested in creating a super smash bros animated cinematic universe
Dont forget the "i hate mushrooms" meme
I know I'm late, but I vote Sonic. Despite the movies taking place in our world instead of Sonic's--thus sacrificing SOME faithfulness to the source material--they still manage to respect the games, provide compelling stories, and do the characters justice. Another thing to note is that the Sonic movies handle references better than the Mario movie in my opinion. Sure, the Mario movie has plenty of clever references (I.E the gamecube ringtone, Kamek being dressed as Peach to help Bowser practice his proposal, the inclusion of Foreman Spike, the Super Mario bros show intro theme being used for an advertisement for Mario and Luigi's business etc) but here's the thing. The movie is packed to the brim with references, many of which are just... their. We see bo bombs, we see spikes, we see the vehicles from Mario kart, we see king bo bomb, shy guys, dry bones, the pipes, platforms, and MANY other things from the games as breif glimpses. Meanwhile the Sonic movies have much fewer references, but when one happens, it feels special. Not just because there's fewer of them, but also because they're given more importance/implemented in a clever way. For example, the rings are changed into teleportation devices that serve the plot. Sonic gets his iconic shoes from Ratchel's daughter as a touching gesture. Sanic is referenced as a poorly executed sketch by crazy Carol. The master emerald was given a backstory and some lore (meanwhile, the super star from the Mario movie got nothing). Sonic calling Robotnik Eggman because of the shape of his drones. Sonic's speed powers setting the plot in motion. TL:DR: the Mario Movie has good references, but most of them are just breif looks at things from the source material, while Sonic has fewer references, but manages to provide greater importance to them or implements them in clever ways. For this reason, I pick Sonic.
I vote Sonic. Especially the 2nd movie because it was a pretty unique adaptation & has a pretty interesting storyline & character development.
I love both, but I may have to choose Sonic, Mario is lacking Character focus and kind of goes by a little quick with it’s pacing. But regardless I think both still hold up pretty well.
I think both movies are fine in their own way.
Agreed
You Did The Right Decision :)
But the question was which movie do you like better
@@PlanetSquid1 Who Cares About That?
@@FoxMcLox Probably the person answering the question
1:35 I think another reason why sonic being in the real world is because there are multiple games where sonic is in a more grounded setting. Something else I’ve seen pointed out, is that by the end of the Mario movie, Mario is the same character from the game more or less. But throughout the 2 movies (and likely the 3rd movie), sonic has slowly become closer to his game counterpart, making it feel more like an ongoing character arc. My final vote is the sonic movie btw.
Tbh I gonna go with sonic movie because is focus a lot of action and it has a reference too don't get me wrong I also like mario movie but the movie kinda show more a lot of reference by I mean I like reference in the movie as same sonic movie too but they kinda show too much you know both movie it has some flaw but still great adaptation than whatever they did with RE movie and Halo show also I wanna to mention if you doesn't understand why tails and knuckles just appear randomly in the movie it's because they explain in a comic so it's kinda like prequel movie before the sequel started
Honestly this is so hard. Both movies had an excellent blend of game and reality. They both caused a spike in popularity for their franchises. It’s a close decision but I personally think Sonic’s movie was better. It was something many fans of Sonic were missing, it was a great movie of action and comedy, the story was well written and they have made enough income to now make a third movie. I originally saw Mario and I thought, her they did what SEGA did, but what they did was partner with Illumination and made a shit ton of cash, and probably will make a sequel. What kind of bothers me about it was they used the same idea to bring in cash, then FNAF came along and kinda did the same, so personally I think Sonic was better
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!
I guess I’ll be the only Mario vote Lol! I don’t know when we started to hate our adaptations for looking and acting like the source material but I never felt like the Mario movie’s fan service ever got in the way of the plot they tried to tell and if anything, it enhanced what was definitely a pretty rushed script. While I like Sonic Movie 2 quite a bit, the Sonic Movies have always felt a bit more generic in their approach to me, especially Sonic 1. While yeah, having a basic plot is more conventional than a broken plot, I’d rather have a worse movie that feels like they understand what I want rather than a “technically good” one that plays it safe and does the bare minimum, hence why I prefer the less polished but definitely more reference heavy Sonic Movie 2. For me, even if you can explain it away as something new, at least for Sonic, it doesn’t do much for me when a lot of the elements I like about Sonic and his world from the games feel stripped away for the sake of a more “conventional digestible” story. I mean none of these movies are masterpieces anyways, so at least give me the stuff I wanna see and not, a wedding or a dance battle. In the end it really doesn’t matter, I think both are of the same quality, fun for families and fans (in the right mindset), and hell I like both (well at least the Mario Movie and Sonic 2). I think both have good chances at making a well beloved franchises as long as we don’t take them too seriously. THATS ME PERSONALLY OF COURSE!
I’m a sonic movie guy, yes it’s somewhat detached from the games but what they do is well handled where the Mario movie just breezes past everything (I do wish the Sonic music was used more but JunkieXL will probably never since he didn’t do the same with Godzilla and said AI is the future soooooo)
I pick the Sonic movies. I've enjoyed both of the ones that Paramount made about him and the upcoming third one has a chance to be the best one in that trilogy. It was exceptable that Paramount made them be live-action with that hedgehog being on Earth because a bunch of the 3D Sonic games do take place on a digital version of earth. I watched the Mario movie on steaming at a neighbor's house during summertime last year and I think that it'a good one too. That problem of songs from the games not being included into the Sonic movies will end when Sonc 3 gets released because it did get revealed by a reliable source that the most wanted song for that movie WILL be in it! ( Live & learn by Crush 40, SA2's banger main theme song because the lead singer/songwriter of that rock band confirmed that he had signed a deal that Paramount can have the rights to that song and use it in that movie in whatever way that studio thinks is nessassary)
It was my birthday 6th april when this was relised Thats a good gift
I like the Sonic Movies more but when it comes to video game i pick Mario
FR as a Mario fan, the Mario movie seemed so rushed and it felt like they were just trying to introduce Mario characters and reference Easter eggs. While the Sonic movies felt more relaxed while being an action movie. The Sonic movies would also SUBTLY reference stuff from video games and not shove it in your face and expect you to get it. But if you were a new sonic fan and watched any of the movies you wouldn't have to play the games in order to understand it. Sorry for yapping and thanks for reading😊
10:41 You mean: He'll piss on the moon. Also, thanks for saying I'm a better rival.
.
I vote Sonic. You can argue I'm biased cuz I'm a Sonic fan, but the thing is, any non-Mario fan I know who watched the Mario movie didn't really enjoy it aside from some of the more well known references, the reasoning being that, as a story on its own, it falls flat. Since Mario is more popular tho, it'll likely be watched/enjoyed more in terms of sheer number of Mario fans. On the other hand, the people I've met that were unfamiliar with Sonic enjoyed the movie. In this case, I'd say it boils down to the writing for Sonic's movie to be character-driven, while the Mario movie is plot-driven. Although faithful adaptation is always considered, I'm personally iffy on making that a huge thing when comparing the two, because while one was clearly meant to be be a faithful adaptation, the other was meant to establish its own universe and continuity separate from the games. Since we're comparing film SERIES (and not just the first films against each other), Sonic has an advantage since it already has 2 films out. But seeing how everything goes, the pacing in Sonic reminds me of how the MCU was written and planned out (at least until the Endgame saga, not the current one): you have some major plots inspired by the source material, but it establishes its own thing that, eventually, surpassed the source material in popculture. ATM, I think the Sonic movie series has a better chance of that at the moment. What scares me with the Mario movies is that, if they keep doing more and more references rather than focus on the characters, less and less people will actually understand the movie, which will lessen the audience that would watch it.
I’m biased, as a sonic fan, b it I also liked the Mario movie. But anything with stronger character dynamics would have to win for me anyway, it’s the whole reason I care about any movie.
A lot of videogame adaptations (or simply popular IP adaptations) previous to the Sonic movie and Detective Pikachu relied heavily on the titular aspects and characters to be some sort of cameo, rather than actually working them into a respectful, honest take on their source material. Look no further than the early live action films made for the Transformers franchise (and I am willing to bet most movies following this trend can be traced back to Michael Bay doing his thing but that's besides the point). Mostly movies with a huge cast of annoying or boring human characters, and beloved pop culture characters being reduced to a funny aliens that finds themselves in a foreign world and don't know how to traverse it. If anything can be said about SEGA in any capacity, is that they're always painfully earnest about their projects, and the Sonic movies are no different. Sure we have, as previously mentioned, a cast of human characters that had nothing to do with the franchise in the first place, but they're actually written with care and developed as characters, and the dynamic of the Wachowskis with Sonic and friends is fleshed out to be this believable, heartwarming familial bond that, admittedly, I was surprised to see be actually acknowledged so freely. It makes all the sense in the world when we witness their journey as an audience, because the writers are doing a fantastic job all around with the stories they want to tell. And whenever the movies feel a little clumsy or even cringe, I can't help but smile because the Sonic franchise is no stranger to this at all, and it's just charming to me I'm not gonna lie. I was worried about the wedding sideplot in the second movie falling back into the aforementioned trope of giving human characters the lead more than necessary, but you know what? Rachel, Maddie and Tom are genuinely fun to see, and all those scenes served as a nice goofy and even plot-relevant contrast with the rest of the film, I can't say I hate it, because I don't. I actually like it 😂 and it's nowhere near as grating or insulting as how Transformers handled this for the longest time. The Sonic movies are full of charisma and earnest love for the franchise, and if we hear from the people behind it, it's clear that they're more than excited to work with this IP and the characters they've made rightfully theirs, as the story takes place in its own self-contained universe independent from the videogames canon. It's ironic that the SONIC films take more time to slow down and let the story breathe to build up organic and natural character interactions, when compared to the Mario movie. Loved the Mario movie, but Sonic has me hooked, and I'm super excited for Sonic 3 and December can't get here soon enough!!!

video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!
It's a tad of an unfair comparison since Mario has only one movie and Sonic is about to become a Trilogy. But with that said, from a storytelling and character standpoint, the Sonic movies are definitely better. I loved the Mario movie, even though they sidelined Luigi very badly.
Great video, but I absolutely can't take Eggman blowing up the moon seriously. If ya know, ya know.
The real question is who had a better first movie, because isn't using both sonic movies a 2v1? We need to see more mario content to compare both franchises probably.
Easy, the sonic movie.

@@tk32502Nah you wait till Sonic 3.
@@tk32502 Sure it would be cool to see more characters, but it doesn't feel earned. If more Mario characters appear, they need to be part of the story for a reason other than just being there for the fans. This is why Sonic characters fit better imo since Tails and Knuckles were the natural next step for the movies since it expanded on Sonic learning more about responsibility (i.e. learning to care for others and own up to their actions). They already teased Shadow, which hopefully will expand on their characters. On the other hand, I'm not sure how Wario will truly impact the other characters or why he will be in these movies. If anyone has thoughts, I'd be open to listening to them
@@fabianugalde3789The Mario movie teasing Yoshi kinda fell off too, because he already saw a lot of them in the background when Mario was traveling with Peach.

Sonic movies are better imo. They have an actual story and lore with an ongoing narrative and they give the characters more fleshed out backstories compared to the games. The Mario movie’s still fun but it’s mainly a bunch of references thrown at your face 😂
The mario movie is better than sonic movie 1, but sonic movie 2 is better than the mario movie
The mario movie it literally a zanimated versionmof the games The sonic kovies create there own versions of sonic games storys
Unfortunately, this problem with the fast paced Mario movie is a big problem with Universal's animation lately. According to on of the creators of Kung Fu Panda 4, they're wortied kids will get bored if a movie is too long or feels slow. And I have been seeing this with Mario, Kung Fu Panda 4, and Migration (and I heard Ruby Gillman suffered a similar problem). What's worse is I watched The Little Mermaid the other night, it was about the same runtime, but it was still able to be evenly paced between the slow emotional scenes and quick action scenes
I love the Mario movie better I just hink that Mario and he's brother goes prefect. And I can't wait for the 2 movie of the Mario movie 2.
I vote for Sonic! (Here's hoping for more great movie adaptations for both Mario and Sonic, though!)

Also remember: Sonic 1 was released when the pandemic was still around...and it still did well in theaters! If the pandemic wasn't happening who knows how much it would have made! It might've done even better than the Mario movie! And with Sonic 3 coming out and the Knuckles show? I think Sonic may have blitzed Mario's movie career! The Mario movie was good, but Sonic proves that he's just to slow xD
Tru!
The first Sonic movie was a really fun time. But the second one was what trully got me into this amazing franchise. I really liked Mario movie as well, but while Super Mario is tasty treat for the fans, Sonic appeals to both die hard fans, and general audiences. So I guess you know what my vote is😁😁😁

I Vote Sonic I think the Mario movie Trumps the first Sonic movie but bows to the second movie
I vote the sonic movies. Mario's movie feels more like "Mario" than the Sonic movies feel like sonic yes, there's more adherence too the source material and they have more gaming references and character accurate depictions, but the Sonic movies are more enjoyable because they have better plot structure, character building, and they appeal too a wider audience that would not be familiar with the games. In a sense since Sonic isn't as popular as Mario, they had too make it so that it could appeal to those who wouldn't know Sonic because he's the underdog in that situation.
I vote sonic
It's a tough one. Both are great franchises that really respect the source material. I think I will give my vote to Sonic because it's a better crafted film series overall, with stronger characterisation and pacing.
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book are better!!!
My vote's on Sonic. I prefer story and good writing than focusing on references. Like, don't get me wrong, both movies are stronger on some points than the other, but Sonic is the higher-quality video game adaptation into movie form.
The Mario movie actually kind of pissed me off because of Donkey Kong’s characterization and Bowser is more of a joke than a threatening villain like he was in Mario 64 and Galaxy. The Sonic movies at least got Knuckles and Robotnik right!

Because they actually have quality story and have times where they can slow down for the audience to understand the characters like knuckles and they also put references in the side not jus to mess with the plot but in the mario movie, it felt so rush and i really couldnt understand and feel for the characters and the pacing and story was fast and pretty mid also the movie feels like is just a reference movie.
Both Sonic and Mario movies! They're just too good!
Fun fact, sonic the hedgehog was the first good video game over with the sonic and I believe 96
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!

@@Chargestoneshorts cry about it i got all my blu-rays and posters of marvel and dc ha-ha-ha
Mario movie was made for kids with zero attention span.
Wow, i thought your comment was pretty hasty, but what if the pace of the Mario Movie is fast on purpose? Because you know, children of the now generation use Tik Tok a lot (Note: I know that Super Mario Bros. wasn't made exclusively for children, but the film obviously attracted a lot of children!)
What are with these toxic comments?
Yea sonic
SONIC 1 WAS A FUN TIME SONIC 2 A ACION MASTERPIECE SONIC 3 A UPCOMING START OF THE SONIC MOVIE UNIVERSE 🎉
Both are good but i feel like sonic movie 2. Im pretty sure sonic movie 3 will do better i hope.
I think they’re both good.
1:34 What's the music here called?
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc is movies better!!!
@@waltDisney-34079 Um, you didn't even try to answer my question. So why would you reply to it with a response that has nothing to do it? I can understand if your response was meant for someone else's comment but you replied to mine accidentally.
sonic 1 < mario < sonic 2
Both is what I'd choose
I love sonic, voting sonic
9:59 oh you got your wish because that’s what’s gonna happen in the 3rd movie we will get to see him in the fat suit!
Mario movie is a better video game adaptation while the Sonic movies are just better as a "film".
I love the Sonic and Mario Movie! They both were entertaining😂, good storytelling 👍, had good character moments🥰 and were just amazing!!!🌟 So excited for Sonic Movie 3 and 2026 Mario Movie! :D
Sonics relationships, the build of relationships. Enemies. and the way its written surpasses mario by a longshot in some of those categories. But Mario deserves his flowers. Hes an almost silent character who barely says anything, has a weird accent and if used in the movie, would probably be annoying. And all of his games that first come to mind when someone would think about mario, are repetitive. Basically, run to the end get to the flag. do this over and over again until you get to bowsers castle and rescue peach. Sonic isnt thought of as repetitive because he has his own cutscenes, more dialouge more interaction with characters and literally everything that makes him perfect for a movie. Its why all his shows came out better than any mario show made. Sonic literally has all type of media about him because of this. While mario practically only had a few shows that were just american mario in the mushroom kingdom which didnt feel as right as sonic in his shows. All of this makes it even more impressive that mario's movie was this good. He even had more criticism than sonics movie. People only had a problem with Sonic looking too realistic and them going with the tmnt bayverse route; "well if a humanoid blue hedgehog was real he wouldnt look cool to look at". While mario had criticism about how short he looks, his voice not even trying to sound like mario, and the fact his voice actor is star lord and the dude from jurassic world.
I'm gonna cast my lot with Sonic. Even if you haven't played a Sonic game it still has something to offer. But as somebody who never could get into Mario, the Mario movie doesn't really have that. It can't be viewed as a standalone piece of media nearly as well
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book Transformers movies are better!!! video game movies sucks
Sonic 100%
Sonics movies are just absolutely perfect. Mario’s movie is just light hearted comedic references. There’s no actual message like Sonic.

I feel like Mario is much more video game appealing while Sonic is just more fun in tv shows and movies.
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book Transformers movies are better!!! video game movies sucks
Yeah, until something like Quantumania and Josstice League ruined what made movies like those so special
i choose mario, though i agree that the sonic movie are better on some levels, the Mario movie will always hold a special place in my heart
7:42 I remember one time I saw the movie I actually timed it and Peach immediately trusted Mario about 30 seconds after meeting him like you don't know this person why do you trust him that quickly?
That's the problem with Mario. We are supposed to go along with that type of plot since everyone is already familiar with the characters (even though I don't think they have ever explored the characters' backstories in any meaningful way)
As a mario and sonic fan, i cant say which one I'll have to wait for the mario movie 2 to tell my opinion 😂
Dude i hope theres no 2nd mario movie mario fuckin sucks
Shut up you can't tell you can't blj in real lif🤣🤣🤣🤣@@hannahislop2101
Team sonic 👇
honestly both of the movies are really good, but i like the sonic movies better
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!
All I hope is that this builds up to a crossover movie.
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book are better!!! mario sonic movies sucks marvel and dc is better
I vote the Sonic movies not only because I like the Sonic games more but the movies feel more like a complete package of storytelling and adding depth to the characters. Along with the characters being more memorable.
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book are better!!! mario sonic movies sucks marvel and dc is better
Sonic movies they went all out and even redesigned the entire character for the fans' peak Movie Beat mario movie even if peaches was a popular trend
video game movies sucks Superhero Marvel/Dc book movies are better!!!
I think its a no brainer because how i see it Sonic movies are much more creative and well thought out while the Mario movie felt rushed and forced and the characters and their dynamics felt undevelopt like they missed a few steps
Exactly! I just wish I had a team of writers of my own to make our own adaption of mario But as is all I have is early drafts
