Sonic's not faster than the speed of light?

[xDragonWarrior]

I was just watching a Youtube video which claimed that Mario was faster than sonic in their first game and that sonic cannot go the speed of light i know WTF!.If sonic was able to go the speed of light in the games what fun would that be but anyway what do you guys think?

I don't think its fair to compare a short section of mario to a full level of sonic to compare speeds. Sonic moves up and down in a level and is moving further than what he calculated.

yeah its bullsh*t and does he not realize that the scenes where Sonic is chasing Dr.Robotnik and he gets away is a way that Sega made the game so you play longer.If Sonic caught Dr.Robotnik in the chase scenes the game would be over.And he's timing how long Sonic covers a distance in the games to see if he can run the speed of light problem is is that is Sonic ran the speed of light in the games Glitches,Sonic off the screen and beating the whole game in like 10 seconds

I'm a total Sega fanboy, but I love this video.

I'm glad somebody somewhere took the time to actually mathematically calculate this shit.

 

I can't help but wonder they refused to mention whether Mario used a warp pipe or not.. but still, it finally answers my question about Dr Robotnik and why Sonic could NEVER catch up to him any time he ran/flew away from him considering Sonic could SUPPOSEDLY run faster than SOUND.

E.T. is the size of a child. In the game he can run across Washington D.C. in about 2 seconds. Superman can fly faster than a speeding bullet but can't fly across Metropolis in about 2 seconds in the Superman game. E.T. is faster than Superman and broke the sound barrier. Therefore, E.T. is also faster than both Mario and Sonic. Atari wins!

If Sega made it where Sonic actually caught Dr.Robotnik(seeing as he's faster),the game would be over.Like in Pokemon,if Ash and them actually caught Team rocket and turned them in what fun would Pokemon be?

That was way too nerdy for me.
