Talk:Mario VS Sonic (2011)/@comment-24.143.40.78-20141219024809/@comment-25547865-20141219040229

Mario is faster than Sonic. In issue #125 of the comic (and comic Sonic is generally agreed to be Sonic's most powerful form), Sonic can't run 100 miles in 3.5 seconds. That makes him less than Mach 135. (Context: Sally states that a "quantum wave" that will destroy anything within 100 miles is about to come, and after she states that it will come in 3.5 seconds, Sonic, who is really cocky about his speed, says that it's "too late".) Meanwhile, in Paper Mario 2, Mario can circumnavigate the moon in about 140 seconds. That's Mach 229; Mario can also escape black holes at close range (relativistic speed) and keep up with the Millennium Star who flew from the center of the universe to the Mushroom World in a few seconds (quadrillions of times faster than light).
