UK-based Ngamer magazine has claimed on their official twitter account that an "inside source at Nintendo" has revealed that Sonic will be playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2, scheduled for release later this year. Of course none of this is confirmed by any means, but this would definitely be an interesting development.

How would you feel about Sonic in a Super Mario title? Would Nintendo show Sega how to do 3D right, or will it just feel awkward?

UPDATE: They're also claiming that specific Sonic levels will be included, the example being "Green Hill Galaxy".

I think it would make SMG2 vastly outsell their Olympic adventures together.

If they put both Mario and Sonic on the box. I know Nintendo EAD could nail 3d Sonic. It has been my dream that a developer like them does a Sonic game.

SMG 2 is not a story driven game. It would work great if Sonichad different,but still had relevant gameplay from Mario.

It would be as disastrous as the platforming in Smash Bros

Mario is a methodical plodding platformer, Sonic is a fast fluid platformer

You can either build the game for one or the other, if you try to build it for both you destroy the game and render it unplayable

They never said they would have the same levels. You assume to much. Not that this rumor is even going to pan out....

I can just see the Sonic fans coming out saying in masses that "this will not work the gameplay it too different" but then you just have to look at any Mario game ever and realize that in SMG alone he rides a sting ray, a ball, and has loads of suits that are much different than his regular platforming. Mario is all about variation and this truth is even more true in SMG where stages are seperated and controlled.

No. Sonic needs to stay in his own sucky games, and not pollute good games.

That's a little extreme. I may not be perfect but unplayable is a bit of an exaggeration. I'm sure nintendo would find a way to make it work. Their development skills have a good track record. I like Jordan's idea of the Sonic Suit instead of having Sonic in the game.

I hope they do it if only to see the mad reaction of so many Mario fans.

There are still people that are pissed that Sonic is in Brawl, imagine a core Mario platformer with him :lol:

That would be cool, you know, like a sonic playthrough mode like Luigi had in the fist one.

As long as he has NOTHING to do with the story and the initial playthrough, Im not against.

I wouldn't mind if it is what Jordan said and there was a sonic galaxy. But if sonic is used often and is a big part of the game, then i could see it being a problem

A war among fans? No, it would be probably add another 3 million in sales. I do not think either company cares what fans will say on forums esp. when those complaining fans will buy the game anyway.

Still don't believe this rumor because I just don't see Nintendo putting Sonic in a main Mario game. About the fans, they're very annoying. It's bad enough people are saying Sonic 4 is ruined because Sonic has green eyes lol.

Me neither, but fans will buy the game regardless because its going to be amazing. A little "fan war" has no relevance in the real world.

True. Though. if Sonic really was in SMG 2, it would be interesting to see that SEGA is working with Nintendo.

I want Sonic in an Adventure game with Mario, but not a proper Mario Game! This is Marios home franchise and I dont want Sonic any way near its turf. Sonic and Mario in agame=GOOD. Sonic IN a Mario game=BAD

I don't think there is any chance of this really. To incorporate Sonic they'd either have to completely change how the game is designed, or completely change Sonic as a character (much slower!).

It would be a cool easter egg in the game, though this rumour is mostly false...
If nintendo does put sonic in and its great, then nintendo must handle sonic and buy sonic team of japan.

Wait, guys, guys... Look at the calendar.

Mario was born in 1981.... 29 years ago.

Sonic was born in 1991.... 19 years ago.

Mario Galaxy is the 7th regular console Mario platformer.

29+19+7=55

It's 55 days till April Fool's Day.

How could we have been so gullible!

"One of those guys..." The Mario, Zelda, and Metroid purist. I know those, the ones who will not buy anything else on the system. Garrett you seem interested in the blockbusters, which is why you have not bought a game since 2008. 2010 should be full of games ont he scale of RE4, hopefully you take attention to some of them because they look great.

Maybe Robotnik teamed up with Bowser Jr. to revive Bowser.

I just hope if this is true, and there are dedicated Sonic levels that they are big levels and not small planets spattered around. Can you imagie running around little orbs at high speeds? It would completely throw gameplay off

actually, thats not necessarily true. I built (it's a strong word, not what i mean) a relationship with my Girlfriend of two years, starting with our common liking of the legend of zelda series. We beat all of the games by the 6 month mark in our relationship, and we've both wanted a new Zelda game since. There isnt anything other than zelda that it like zelda.

I do like me some mario, but galaxy was not my cup of tea. I preferred Sunshine over it, mainly because it was difficult.

The only reason why i bought RE4 is because i know that i like it and can play it over and over again.

I like games that last, which is why you will never hear my raving about no more heroes or madworld or the conduit or any of these mature titles for the wii. an eight-hour good game is not worth a buy for me. The godfather was an amazing game, I put 40 hours into that game, but there just wasnt enough replayability for me. It's not that I only pay attention to the big N's games, its just they usually give me the most bang for my buck, zelda especially. I just want a good game that will last, and personally i don't see a lot of that on the wii.

I've never liked Sonic games, hated them in fact, even the original trilogy. Not even a a huge fan of Mario, though I have played SMG and it was beautiful.

So, Sonic in SMG2, no thanks. Possible deal breaker, Nintendo. Be very careful how you implement this, if it's planned at all.
