Mario, Sonic, or Link? Who's your all-time fav?
All three of these heroes are famous and have shaped the gaming industry into what it is. Without them, where would we be? But who's the baddest, huh?

I'll be honest with ya, I'm a HUGE fan of all three. I don't know who I'd be without 'em. I've played all the Zeldas, almost every Sonic, and a lot of Marios (there's so many random stupid ones like Mario Hotel and Mario's Missing! and most of thsoe dumb ones aren't too great.)

But who's your favorite character? This one's tough for me, I like 'em all. (Hehe, that's why I write fanfiction and have the three team up into an AWESOME trio...)

But, as you can probably guess, I just have to go with Mario. Been a Hardcore Mario fan for 10 years, and I'll continue to do so. If it weren't for him and the genius of Shigeru Miyamoto, I can't even IMAGINE where gaming would be...

Kudos to the Big M! Rock on, baby!

First played Mario, all the orginal ones on the NES. Played the first Zelda, and really didn't like it that much (I guess I was too young). Got into Sonic when it first came out and when my NES blew up.

Vote goes to Sonic. Loved the darker version of the cartoon that they used to have and the comic as well. Haven't been getting the newer comics, though.

PS Orginal Sonic only. He could kick new Sonic's arse.

This is kind of a toughie, since it's almost like asking what I'd prefer to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. All of these guys got their own genre going on. Well.. Mario and Sonic are similar, but that's another story. This is between favorite characters.

As a side note: I've gotten an equal amount of time spent with these guys. Sadly a lot less time with the Zelda games, but overall it's kinda the same. I get random memories of playing Mario Bros. 3 and Sonic 2...

Hm.... Well, it's still kinda hard. I like Wind Waker Link the best, thanks to his personality. But I'd place Mario higher than the rest of the Links. Sonic.. Sonic was kinda just there... *shrugs* It's hard for me to pick based on who they are....

I need some time with this...

It is hard to tell who I like best, as I like them all equally too. But I'd have to go with Mario, mainly because I grew up with Mario and because I saw Mario first.

Pikachu didn't shape the gaming industry, just...well, tried to take it over

and I'm not voting, mainly since I can't decided at all. This is too hard and I'm willing to bet I'd regret my vote later

I remember that song...it sounds awful and funny at the same time. Anyway, i voted for Mario because i played Super Mario Bros. for the first time several years before i played Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

This is a real toughie - Mario's got all the powerups and the oldschool appeal; Link has a badass sword and he's a pimp; and Sonic, quite simply, is the fastest thing alive.

I'm going to have to go with Link on this one. He could chop up Mario, and he's simply got more ladies than Sonic ever will.

If it wasn't for Mario, there'd be no Sonic.

Link certainly belongs on a top list but not at the top.

Sonic rules.. I've always liked Sonic games better than Mario or Zelda games. I guess i'm just partial to going really fast through levels.

Mario and Sonic really aren't that similar. Mario focuses more on tedious jumps, while Sonic focuses on blazing fast reaction speeds.

I'll take Samus Aran, thank you.

Link. Although both him and Mario save their princesses, Link uses a sword, bombs, boomerangs, etc., while Mario just stomps or shoots fireballs from his hands. No contest!

MegaMan should have been on that list, I say. He'd be able to garner enough votes to put up a fight, I say...


Anyway, my list of preferred Gaming Characters is like this:
Lolo > MegaMan > Mario > Link > Sonic
So I guess I'll vote Mario, then...

I think mario is the badest. Sonic was the coolest character and his history is better than all 3. Link is good coz of the mint games and mario is at the bottom. He's a plumber but site has good games.
