Don't get me wrong, he is/was insanely popular (he was in Wayne's World for fuck's sake) and rightfully so, but Mario saved the entire industry. Saying that Sonic is as legendary as Mario is like saying HD TV is as legendary as Color TV, it's a weird argument but one of the options changed the fundamentals of an entire industry, and the other just made it prettier. That came out wrong...
I'm not hating on Sonic by the way, I have one sonic friend.
I hope you don't mean that Mario saved the Gaming Industry with Super Mario Bros, because there was only a crash in America, the rest of the world was unaffected.
Although, I'll give it to you, Mario was the first plat former.
