Sonic The Hedgehog and Super Mario

In a battle between Mario and Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog is generally considered more powerful, especially when considering their high-speed transformations and overall power scaling. While Mario has a wider variety of power-ups and impressive strength feats, Sonic's speed, particularly in his Super and Hyper forms, coupled with his durability, often overwhelms Mario.
Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario are iconic characters from rival video game companies, Sega and Nintendo, respectively. They've crossed paths in several crossover games, most notably the "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" series. Despite being rivals, they've teamed up in some games to battle their shared antagonists, Bowser and Dr. Eggman.
