Personally I grew up with Mario most of my childhood, but when I was around 5-8 I was very interested in Sonic. What about you?

Sonic ftw, not some fat plumber. Then again I'd rather play Mario's games x100 compared to Sonic's recent games lol.

Both. The NES was my first system and the Genesis was my second. I spent a ton of time on both Super Mario Bros. and Sonic 2.

I played a lot of both, but Sonic was definitely the character I "grew up" with the most.

Mario mostly. My first system was the SNES, then after that was the N64. I didn't start getting into sonic until Sonic Adventure, and then Sonic games got bad after that.

Oh I almost forgot.

I did use to have a console which had the Mario game. I liked that one a lot too.

Certainly a lot of memories from there too.

Even though I didn't grow up in the Sonic and Mario era, I still grew up with Sonic through the GameGear.

Mario had much more of an influence on my from a young age. I actually wasn't really exposed to Sonic until my pre-teens/early teens, and even then, I spent much more time with Mario games during that period as well.

Definitely Sonic. I had all the sonic games, movies, comics, toys, bed sheets, even stuffed animals all the way up through to the Dreamcast when Sonic turned to crap. I did have an SNES for awhile too and loved Super Mario World but my cat chewed up the wires and that was that.

sonic

I say Sonic even though my Sega Genesis was not my first console. My brother had an NES, but I do not remember playing it much. We never had a SNES.

Over the years I have had an NES, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Gamegear, Playstation, PS2, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, PSP, Xbox, and Xbox 360.

Pac-Man and other classic arcade games, thanks to my dad. I went from Pac-Man to Mario to The Sims to the Xbox in terms of major stages of my gaming life. :P

Before I got into videogames, I watched both Sonic and Mario cartoons. But the first game of theirs that I played would be one of mario's.

Mario. I remember blowing on the N64 Mario games when I was a young lad. Mario Party 2, Super Mario 64, etc. Where have the days gone? :cry:

Sonic 2 was actually the first game I ever owned. I'd say both but more so Sonic. I really hope they can make another Sonic masterpiece someday. :(
