Asking if Sonic is as legendary as Mario...it is sort of like asking if Pac-Man is also? Well to be completely honest, no. Why? Mario has a lot more going for it.
I know a lot of people may say how Sonic and Pac-Man both have a huge fanbase and both get a decent amount of games that have a decent amount of sales but the fact of the matter is that Mario has a way bigger fanbase and is basically held on the same pedestal that Micky Mouse is on for animation. It is more so that he was the first gaming icon, rather then the fact that his games did anything to really benefit gaming.
More people fell in love with the plump plumber rather then the too cool for school hedgehog or the yellow circle that eats dots.
