Movies, shows, merch, anything else that revolves around a media franchise? Does Mario still win? I know Mario far, far surpasses Sonic when it comes to game sales. --- FC: SW-8288-8096-1115 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sonic probably has more media crossovers but does he even have more merch than Mario? It feels like Mario is the only Nintendo franchise that actually gets pushed on toys and stuff. --- Hey man, LlamaGuy did encrypt the passwords. With what? ROT-13? -CJayC ... Copied to Clipboard!

According to Wikipedia, Mario beats Sonic $47.5 Billion to $7.7 Billion. So, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises --- Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet. I'm a Vtuber now! https://www.twitch.tv/thedandyvtuber ... Copied to Clipboard!

According to Wikipedia, Ben 10 has made money than Sonic. That sounds so wrong that I have to assume their list isn't 100% accurate. That said, Mario should still be way ahead of Sonic. --- Congrats to 2020 GotD Guru champ azuarc! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sonic has more from the box office at least! But despite that the box office numbers don't even begin to approach game sake numbers, and Mario crushes it on that --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Although "bigger" is a debateable term. Mario definitely makes way, way more but I honestly feel like Sonic is talked about more, and definitely has more in the way of fanart and near-professional fan games, so even if they're financially separated by miles, I'd say the global influence is potentially on a similar scale? --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

According to the sources at the bottom, the number quoted for Sonic merchandise is from 2004, so I think it's safe to say that it's ahead of Ben 10 at least. --- Congrats on Advokaiser for winning the 2018 Guru Contest! Yesmar ... Copied to Clipboard!

Fan-art and gaming discussion are a niche currency. Mario is vastly more popular in every conceivable measurable metric. --- "It is too easy being monsters.

Mario is ubiquitous with video games, so I don't think Sonic will ever pass him in popularity. Plus, Mario has a lot more games and they generally sell better than Sonic games. Sonic's popularity is nothing to sneeze at, of course, but yeah, he still pales in comparison to Mario. --- https://imgur.com/WqDcNNq https://imgur.com/89Z5jrB ... Copied to Clipboard!

The specific question of "does Sonic merchandise sell more than Mario merchandise" might be interesting Johnbobb posted... Although "bigger" is a debateable term. Mario definitely makes way, way more but I honestly feel like Sonic is talked about more, and definitely has more in the way of fanart and near-professional fan games, so even if they're financially separated by miles, I'd say the global influence is potentially on a similar scale?Mario gets buttloads of romhacks so I don't think Sonic is ahead on the fan game metric.

Sonic might sell more toys and plushies than Mario himself, but if we're comparing franchises then you have to consider all the toy/stuffed versions of Yoshi and Toad and Luigi and Bowser, all the princess stuff for the girls, etc. So Sonic might be keeping it closer these days, at least after the success of the last two movies, but I doubt his franchise has been able to pull ahead in this area. --- Congrats to azuarc, Mario Kart 64 AND GameFAQs Contest Legend! board8.fandom.com/wiki/The_Show | thengamer.com/xstats ...

Amazon has ~7,000 results for Sonic toys, but over 20,000 for Mario toys. They both have ~5,000 results for clothing. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I saw way more Mario stuff at San Diego Comic Con than Sonic stuff this year, though granted it had a giant animatronic Lego Bowser. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/6/AADoKzAADjcM.jpg I think Mario is kinda in a "quiet" time right now since Mario Odyssey is almost 5 years old and there's no major mainline Mario game announced yet which kinda gives the look that Sonic is bigger for now. --- https://i.imgur.com/6AevF0Y.gif LOL!!!!

Yes, partially because SMB has been around a lot longer. It has had 3 cartoons, a wide variety of merchandise over the years, breakfast cereals, 1 (awful) movie with another one on the way, clothing and probably other stuff that is country exclusive. --- 2DS FC tempest 1478 9807 1205 ...
