He resisted mind control who is different from possession, Sonic lacks resistance to possession meaning he can be possessed by Mario.

If you give Sword of Acorn to Archie Sonic then you need to give Paper Mario the Star Rod to counter Sword of Acorn. I believe Star Rod outclasses Sword of Acorn because Star Spirits were defeated by Star Rod power and Star Spirits are the Star Guardians of Dream Depot. Dream Depot is a realm that turns all dreams into universes. The Star Spirits can also "create fun-filled games" within this realm, which all seem to take place within a universe, so they likely created it all in the first place; I mean, they're the guardians, creating fun-filled games that are dreams in of themselves. Plus, the Star Rod can grant all wishes, and even the Star Spirits say the same thing meaning he can easily counter Sword of Acorn.

I still believe Paper Mario has better arsenal because he carries a lot of items in his adventures while Archie Sonic don't carry a lot of items.
