See, Kids? Sonic and Mario Weren't Always Friends

Thats a bit harsh
dont you think
considering mario and sonic titles are a good seller

And to think Sega was once the biggest rival to Nintendo...

I don't they are friends ...

I knew they weren't friends cuz I lived thru it.

Kids these days don't know what a console war truly was. After all, Nintendo and Sega started the term ''console wars''.
_{However, I owned both the SNES and Genesis back in the day. So I had the best of both worlds.}

Had a Genesis, but frankly I was too young to even realize a console war existed.

@ Knux
lol... same here

Awww, SNES and Genesis/Megadrive. STILL the best two systems ever made.

Now where's my Mario and Sonic platformer?

The good old days when Sega ruled all

A collaborative action/adventure title w/ both Mario/Sonic. That's what I want.

I always love archive videos. I remember some of the smear stuff, like "What are you waiting for? Nintendo to make one?". Stuff like that.

"Biggest rivals" is an understatement. They didn't call it the "16-Bit Wars" for nothing. Sega actually slandered Nintendo in their TV commercials.

It's pretty amazing how with the past rivalry, Sega eventually succumbed to Nintendo and lost. It's humiliating really. It's the power of Nintendo. Pretty funny when it happens eventually to Sony too.

5:50 looks like Iwata!!

I need to watch this later but I was already aware that they weren't friends since people always were showing that Mario & Sonic had rivalry.

1992 huh? that's 20 years ago. wow.

if you asked anyone 20 years back that SEGA would later drop out of the hardware market and make games for other consoles as a third party developer, people would say it would never happen.

even though nintendo and SEGA were the most fiercest of rivals, they were all about gameplay and characters, such as mario and sonic. the majority of the games from sony, microsoft lack characters as good as those 2.

i'm nintendo fangirl at heart, but i did like SEGA as well. i'd rather have them back with nintendo, microsoft and have sony take a back seat.

Always liked Sonic better

I had a NES and a gameboy, then traded them for a SNES and a gbcolour, then traded them for an N64 (and a load of cash) and a gameboy advance, then upgraded them to a gamecube and GBSP, then traded them for a DS and a wii, then upgraded to a dslite, then dsi, and next week I will get me a 3DS Ice White and when it comes out, I will trade one of my wii's for a WiiU.

oooh, I went off on one... my point is I loved the console war, as you can see I have always supported Nintendo but my brother had a master system and later a megadrive and to be honest we loved both for their individual games.
Marios and superscopes and starfox and Aliens on the Nintendo and jurrasic park and sonics and jungle strike on the sega.
we had many multi platform releases on both consoles (SNES/MEGADRIVE) and they were almost always better on the SNES except one game... Mortal Kombat.
This was the only real reason to own a megadrive over a SNES because of the blood lol.
THIS started a real WAR at school.lol.

I dunno man, that last SANIC game looked great:

check out this video. its basically the definition of the 16 bit war. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_DlvCkVc3k

I'm still waiting for my Mario and Sonic RPG.

Sega was the SONY of the 90's... biggest douche bag companies ever...

Could I get one of those Sonic 2 hoodies? Oh, early 90's television graphics, how you make me chuckle. The "16-bit wars" even struck close to home; I remember friends fiercely arguing with each other. It got even worse once Sony entered the console market, imo.

Another reason why I wish I grew up in the 90s.

O_O Poor Japanese Mario Bros.....

Oh back when Sega had talent.

@RedBlueSpot I was going to write the same thing, but you beat me to it and I was already aware that sonic and Mario were rivals and I'm 15. It used to be if you wanted Mario you go with nintendo and if you wanted sonic you go with sega which created this " war " on which console to buy.

@23 i think gaming changed forever when sony stepped onto the scene. then microsoft joined in a couple of years later. SNK would've stood a chance- had they not overpriced their neo geo machine at £300+/$300 +.

nintendo and sega- 2 proper video game companies >> microsoft and sony- 2 non video game companies in the gaming business.

SEGA during the 90s were much more cooler and had better franchises than today. although i do like bayonetta, virtua fighter, anarchy reigns of today. looking forward to rhythm thief from SEGA for the 3DS.

Had an SNES, but would play a Genesis whenever I was left at my babysitter. Loved them both!

they are both great.

I'm still waiting for a Mario and Sonic Platformer...

Q: Who would win if Mario and sonic were in a fight?
.
A: Kirby would come and eat them both.

It was the 90's
It's water under the bridge
They are now good friends

That was a haiku about their friendship.... GENESIS DOES

I can't speak foreign languages.
EDIT: except a little Spanish
Can someone please translate this interesting video?

Sonic is a better character, Mario has better quality games.

@31 +1

There was a war? I missed out all the wars against Megadrives and Playstations, mostly because I was too young and later all of my friends had the latest Nintendo console of the time, the Nintendo 64.

I even borrowed a Megadrive from my friend once.

How does anybody not know this?

By the way here is the best performance of the console wars I've ever seen.

Lol two 32Xs on top of each other.

@SuperLink

That is really cool. Best reenactment of the Nintendo & Sega rivalry ever.

Ditto @ Knux

Had them both. It was awesome.

Those were the days. Blue skies and great gameplay.

@35 Mario has better quality games...starting in 1995.

Chuckle brothers? :/

Mario just got owned...

I had a MEGA DRIVE and defeated ROBOTNIK! ...Genesis Pfft.

A little history lesson indeed....about what happens when companies waste more time slandering Nintendo rather than focusing on their own products.
You hear that Sony?

IM 13 and i knew this already. agreed with 47

@47 hear hear!

Lucky I had a few Mario & Sonic games in the 90s (3 - 5 years old me).

I would rather have sega make consoles then boring sony and microsoft put together. my bro doesn't realise how much of a classic sega was all he cares about is boring fps

sega needs to man up and give us what we want a new sega console before people forget that they even made consoles and if they do sonic adventure 3 would be cool

If I remember correctly, wasn't the sega genesis jingle, "it does what nintendon't" ? Just goes to show that Nintendo and Sega weren't really the best of friends back then.

@WingedFish I know! How ironic is that?

fALSE cause nintendo and sega both made mario and sonc at the....................olimpic games.i guess u are right . but im a fan of mario and sonic.
