In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, during early betas, the special stage text was “Get blue balls!” until the English localisation team pointed out the double meaning to their Japanese colleagues, who promptly changed it to “Get blue spheres!”. Darby spent so much time talking about balls in Sonic, so I felt this was a good place to share this fun fact

Apparently, the ending theme for Super Mario Bros. was going to be longer, but due to hardware limitations, it had to be shortened, the longer theme was later used in Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels, a year later.

[@saltendo2177]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure the Famicom had less limitations than the NES, so when Nintendo decided not to sell SMB2:TLL in Western audiences, it was like a green light to use the noncut version. I wouldn't put Nintendo in the wrong for giving Japan exclusive music, because Sega did that to Sonic CD, and Nintendo did that to Paper Mario, but if they feared any hate then I still wouldn't blame them. However, Mario 1 was only on 32 KB, and I'm sure Mario 2 TLL was around 40 KB, so maybe that was the reason.

In Japan, the original music had a high-pitched and soft-sounding instrument rather than a guitar.

[@DarkShadow-jv3ef]

I love to see Super Mario 3 vs Super Mario World. There’s always debate over which one is the better game

[@saltendo2177]

I personally like Mario 3 better, because of the variety of powerups and how the map is like a game you can play around with, and the fact that was a big improvement from Mario 2. TL:DR, Mario World is good in my opinion, but the level design choices, the amount of times I replay the game, and the amount of people that literally have anything to say that's positive but not negative just make me appreciate Mario 3 more. Don't let that change your opinion though. If you like Mario World, then that's good for you. I'd be blessed to like it, but that simply won't happen to me. I never beat the game without warps though, but I did make it to W7 without them. One day I want to do a no-warp run. I don't like Super Mario World as much though, but one of my favorite Mario games (Mario U) took a lot of inspiration from it, so I have to give credit to Mario World where credit is due: Since Mario 3 was released on the NES, Mario World was Nintendo's first Mario game on the SNES, so they had a lot of experimenting to do. Mario World improved a lot of things that Mario 3 and its predecessors have failed to, like adding in Yoshi. It felt so nice to finally have a dinosaur companion in a Mario game, especially since Mario 3 and World were the two classic Mario games I had first played, and since you don't have a Yoshi companion in Mario 64 or Paper Mario, Mario World stuck out in that department. Mario World also has higher quality music. Even though I like a lot of songs in Mario 3 over Mario World, I'd take the entire Mario World OST over the entire Mario 3 OST any day. Mario World also was the first instance of secret exits since Mario 2, but since this game was on a World Map, it had a reasonable departure from where you took the secret exit. It also made the player have to play an extra level to continue the secret exit path, which was nice. (Also a reason why NSMBU is one of my favorite Mario games.) Mario World had higher graphics, and there were a lot more colors on screen. It was better than looking at a usually orange-dominated Mario 3. Both games were extremely optimal with their color choices. The Koopalings in Mario World had more variety, but some things I didn't like about the Koopaling fights was that the Koopalings usually shared the same boss battle with another. Lemmy with Wendy, Iggy with Larry, and Morton with Roy (and Ludwig). Even though adding Reznor was a big plus, they disposed of Boom Boom. ;-; (Boom Boom would later be readded in Mario U :D) Even though there were a lot of good things to talk about in Mario World, there are a lot of things I don't like about it as well. In Mario 3, it followed the same level building standard from Mario 1. Blocks here, enemies there, ending here. However, as the game progressed, it started putting enemies and blocks together, and adding more enemies in the level. It made it harder to get powerups, and made it harder to play the more you progress in the game. It made a clear to see difficulty curve. It started you out easy, and got difficult slowly but surely as you progressed. In Mario World, it followed the same level building standard from Mario 2. The levels are wacky and absurd. That's not to say that some of the levels aren't fun. The only problem with this is that there is no clear difficulty curve. By World 3, there were a lot of levels in which I kept dying at the same exact point in each level. Butter Bridge I hate the most. This is especially true with the extra levels and Star World levels, where they discard all of the rules. That would be fine if the levels followed similar rules to Mario 1 instead of Mario 2. Mario World also gets boring to restart over and over again from the beginning due to the start being so sluggish and how the game feels like it babies you when you get used to the levels in World 1 and 2. This is also a problem with later Mario games, like Mario 64, Paper Mario games especially, NSMB games, Sunshine and Galaxy games, and Odyssey. Though, this is not a problem with Mario 3. If you are a guy who replays games a lot, you can find where I'm coming from. Mario World is also overrated. Only of my biggest problems with playing the game. For some reason, I always have the unpopular opinion. (Like enjoying 3D World, any New Super Mario, Paper Mario Color Splash, liking Mario 3 more than Mario World, and liking Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario 64 more than Paper Mario TTYD) I don't like when people praise something too much. Mario World and TTYD suffer from this the most. Mario World can be as criticized as any other Mario game, even though I don't dislike Mario enough to be that guy. I didn't talk about 100%ing Mario World because you can't 100% Mario 3, (unless you count beating all levels as 100%ing it) but I find the system to be fine. However, I never got to 100% Mario World as classic Mario games are much harder than modern Mario games.

[@DarkShadow-jv3ef]

@@saltendo2177 I love super Mario 3 more than Super Mario World. I love the level designs, the power ups, and music. I also think the Mario 3 is more difficult as you progress in the game. I also like the music in Mario World. I didn't care for the boss in World. after world 4 I believe they were just redskins but harder boss battles. The Reznor boss I like cuz it was different. I love Star world/special zone levels. Also Mario 3 got more content than the other Mario games. The 16 bit for all stars game and then the e-reader levels.

[@saltendo2177]

@@DarkShadow-jv3ef I agree with you on everything here, and the lack of originality in the bosses after World 4 is the reason I don't bother playing past it, so I'm always finding myself using the star warp. I've never experienced the special zone but I might give it a try.

[@bland9876]

Easily Mario 3 because Mario World doesn't even play like a Mario game. It's not quite as weird as Mario too The USA version but still perfect example is to compare it to New Super Mario Bros and see how that feels more like the original games.

[@bland9876]

[@germanname1990]

Although I like both series, I've been in love with Sonic for many years, and it's a shame to see him get smacktalked and be compared unfavorably to many things. So it's nice and satisfying to see one video where Sonic comes out on top, especially against his biggest gaming rival. SEGA did have the advantage of seeing what they had to do, but that prevented originality. Even so, I really like how they pushed their consoles while still offering a good experience or at least tried to. That's why I believe the gaming industry would not be as awesome as it is today had it not been for SEGA's willingness to push the envelope. Now if you were to make another Mario vs Sonic video, Super Mario 64 vs Sonic Adventure 1 as well as Super Mario Odyssey vs Sonic Frontiers would make for some good suggestions. Outside of that, how about Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition for the SNES vs Wheel of Fortune for the SEGA CD? Okay, okay. Like that's gonna happen. A lot of people would be saying Crash vs Spyro, but how about Gran Turismo vs Project Gotham Racing or Gran Turismo vs Forza Motorsport?

Objection on Replayability: The whole "arcade loop" idea SMB has isn't good replayability, because there is no incentive or motivation to do other than "play it harder". Sonic on the other hand has it that you can explore the levels a little more so you can find hidden spots you missed and (unlike Mario) the levels aren't just "go forward in a line all the time".

I find that mario and sonic as games are drastically too different to compare and compete with each other on whats better. The only similarities they have is that they're both mascot platformers. Ultimately it tailors down to personal taste because of it. However as characters id say it leans more in Sonics favour in the sense he has more of an evident personality and would even say his design is cooler and more exciting. He also gets better additional media, maybe not so much movie but certainly comics. The IDW comics are a great read. Ultimately it comes down to game quality though and sadly Sega doesn't quite know what to do with sonic. Very few modern games are truly amazing. At best theyre decent, nothing more. Its a debate with no clear answer really though. At the end of the day it falls on what game gives you the experience you want.

Either way, interesting type of video and I wouldn't blamed Darby to giving the Story point to Sonic only, it sounds pretty more epic to me at least. Edit: Sounds like at the outro Super Mario Bros. won anyway but inside the heart of yours... and other people that agrees.

[@Marchers46]

Woah, Mugen.

[@fra7210]

I wish that they ranked the other styles of mario and sonic too!

[@Fiendzy]

You might be surprised to know but there is marble zones track that had surfaced; it’s a shame it was cut

[@Blackhedgehogguy]

Well I think both are good. Yes both

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Agreed

[@Chaveskids]

Of course, I agree that

[@blast3608]

Great comparison! Also, you missed sonic 1 invincibility jingle.

[@dumbmints]

and the title screen music

[@newwinow]

both

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Good pick

[@gamerguy25270]

Btg installed a mod where the camera zooms in every time he dies

I'm sorry, but Mario music is clearly more memorable and iconic. (The only Sonic that stands out is Green Hill Zone, the rest could be any game; that same "tinny" sound). It's also nice how the graphics are more clear, and an enemy is clearly distinct. (Now that we're playing the Sonic simulator, I often find it hard to see those dang motobugs and crabs and other things).

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

Well how many times have you played sonic and how many times have you played Mario? I played through both back to back and then made my decisions as fairly as I could. Both games have great music. So you really can’t go wrong.

[@min2793]

great and iconic is not the same thing though

[@blobanimatesb7466]

"Green hill zone is the only song that stands out in sonic" Literally every sonic game/that 8-bit one: Do we have no memorable music? Spring Yard? Star light? Angel island? Casino night?

[@radomguy2543]

The jungle zone music is like an rpg song where people are chilling

[@palmer264]

MARIO IS BETTER, BECAUSE IT HAS ACTUAL BACKSTORY. WITH SONIC, ALL WE KNOW IS EGGMAN HATES SONIC, THATS IT.

[@ManiacMonkeyAGAIN]

Why was it 8 bit not 16 bit? 😂 (not complaining the vid is awesome)

[@Zabliss654]

Sonic Schoolhouse vs Mario Teaches Typing would be fun to see

[@LeBabol]

also smb1 has some levels copied, for example some stages are the same but the enemies are different.

[@GizmoPlays373]

You forgot the title and invincibility music for sonic

[@НиколаМитиудис]

So please super mario 64 vs sonic mania

[@Pancake-1thousands]

I like the master system sonic labyrinth music it has a nice beat

[@PWPictures67]

I like both Sonic and Mario, I didn't really play many Sonic and Mario games though, for Sonic I played 1, 3, and Heroes, and for Mario, I played Mario All-Stars, which has the first 3 games and the Lost Levels, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, I might have played Dr. Mario as well, but I don't think I was that good at it.

[@PWPictures67]

I also played New Super Mario Bros. U and 2, but I wasn't that good at those either, especially 2, I always had to use the White Tanooki suit in that one, I may have played more Mario games, but it seems that I'm better at the Sonic games, I never even beat New Super Mario Bros. 2 all the way, I did 100% the First NSMB Game though. I even maxed out the score counter on the first one, I got all 9s for my score.

[@jaylenbutler899]

[@BuzzyGamer23]

I agree definitely. Do zelda and kirby next!

[@Pebmations]

Man the 8 bit version of sonic is just… I can’t explain

[@XFred9]

“It can stand up to a version 6 years later” Also using the 8bit version

[@cyber-thundr_]

I love both franchises but Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Master System can't even touch the iconic original Super Mario Bros. for the NES. The cast in this game does look way different from the Donkey Kong universe, while they still have the same Mario Bros. from the arcade, they introduced Princess Peach, the girl that isn't Pauline & Bowser The King Of The Koopas, the villain that isn't Donkey Kong. Can you imagine they still stick with the same cast as the original Donkey Kong game in Super Mario Bros.? 👌🏻

[@BlueTelevisionGames]

That would be crazy

[@Haru0427_SONICFAN]

Try doing this with "Sonic 3 & Knuckles" and "Super Mario World (or Super Mario Bros. 3)"!

[@oldschoolgamer2913]

Smash Bros vs TMNT tournament fighters

Bowser: Hey Mario, want some music? Mario: Sure. *Beats Mario to the tune of the Overworld theme* Mwahahaha. You can't beat the classics. Mario: Ooh I'll say.
