That being said, I think that Sonic is something of a Mario rip off.

After all, many great platformers that are praised, and are all similar, are praised as their own to this day. Sonic can jump dive, or jump and charge into his enemies. He can run straight through if he's going fast enough. Would it not be comparable to calling Donkey Kong a Mario clone? He can jump on enemies. Wether you like Sonic or not is subjective, but dubbing him a Mario clone just doesn't seem to hold up. See you next time.
