Sonic: All official games, plus personally demonstrated material from IDW, Sonic Prime, Sonic X, and the 1996 OVA.

Mario: All official games, including RPGs, Paper Mario, spin-offs, and crossovers. Paper Mario’s abilities are included with alternate-continuity distinctions.

Excluded: Olympic titles, Archie Sonic, unsupported cosmology scaling, literal gameplay lives/UI mechanics, and abilities belonging exclusively to other characters.

Rules: Both start in Base with their full legal arsenals and transformations available. Nothing is preactivated, all prerequisites and loadout restrictions apply, and no outside allies actively participate.

Superman: Post-Crisis/New Earth continuity (DC Comics)

Sonic: all official Sonic the Hedgehog game appearances, with supplemental IDW, Sonic X, Prime and OVA material.

No Cosmic Armor/Prime One Million or New 52/Rebirth/current Superman feats.

No Archie Sonic, game-mechanic NLFs or unsupported cosmology scaling.

Honestly might be the best matchup for both. Two genius double agents built around deception, mind games, lethal hax, tragic loyalty and protecting someone who thinks they’re a monster. The matchup writes itself.
