Sonic (Comics allowed but no super)

Speedy Gonzalas (All source material allowed)
Samus (Manga allowed).


Race around the surface of a bumpy planet with no oceans and the same gravity as Earth with a similar atmosphere which all parties can breathe and use as if it were Earth's own.

How's it go?

If you were a real man you would have included the Road Runner.

No comic and anime originating characters?

Speedy > Roadrunner.

I couldn't think of any comic characters that wouldn't stomp and could still compete. (My first thought was Flash, lelelelel) and I'm no good at Animu.

Road Runner can run through physical matter.

Comic Sonic via running backwards.

Co-sign. Sonic may even run on one leg via doing this.

Dante is highly outclassed - he's a sprinter, not a marathon runner. He has no long-distance running speed feats. It would be like a Russian song by Vladimir Vysotsky "I run 10000 meters like I run 500 and very soon I was out of breath" (not very poetic translation, yes, but gives the idea). So I admit that my favorite char here comes last - good speed feats, but all those speed feats are not race/marathon type speed feats.
Unless we count Mundus fight but this was a flight and thus auto-disqualification.

I'm just guessing here, but...

1st: Sonic
2nd: Rainbow Dash
3rd: Speedy
4th: Samus
5th: Dante

Speedy gonzales or Sonic

No, sonic does it blindfolded, with one foot, backwards. While writing a novel.

I'm not sure I recall what Sonic has done that puts him so far ahead of everyone else.

Would someone mind enlightening me?

Some of these are here.


Time travelling by running >>> nearly everyone here is capable of. Also I assume this is a RUNNING race and stuff like flight is banned. In terms of running feats Sonic>>>>> everyone else here, including Gonzales.

Speedy Gonzales takes the gold.

I'm honestly not sure what qualifies Samus and Dante for this. They're basically non-factors from what I can tell. I love both of these characters, but I'm not sure what they've done to even be considered for this.

I have already written about Dante. A sprinter with one questionable long-distance feat being flight one (fight vs Mundus). Him being here is a sprinter in marathon race, doomed to come the dead last and a shame for character.
Do not know about Samus, does she have any major LONG-DISTANCE RUNNING feats?

Hm, I didn't realize Archie Sonic was so retardedly fast. My bad.

Also, Samus can run at hypersonic speeds and has an adavantage no one else has, she can run through the planet's hills, meaning her path is the shortest.

Like in Dante's case that's a question of distance. They both have rather good SPRINTING speed feats (not sure about Samus' distance feats) and CHEATS like Quicksilver in Dante's case (or Samus' phasing). But this is a marathon race being banned, and so is flight.
That's how I understood the stipulation and why I think that's basically between Speedy and Sonic with others deeply outclassed by those two.

As for distance in Super Metroid Samus runs a very long way, smashing through cliffsides and a spacecraft hull when she does so, IIRC.

Rainbow Dash has her outclassed in speed, but she needs to fly to do so. Being higher up essentially puts her in a lower orbit and makes her travelling path longer, and Samus can shoulder barge through the planet's hills and stuff.

I honestly underestimated Sonic. Didn't realize base Sonic was FTL, that's ... Unfortunate. And It's been a long time, so I'm a big forgetful of Speedy.

If flight is on, then I see Dante (space flight in fight with Mundus) as well as Rainbow Dash attempting to cheat by "suborbital jump", basically shortcutting this way.
Though anyways Sonic by this time stands on finish line and lol's at opposition.
And IF Quicksilver is allowed...but Sonic has beaten time manip so this way of cheating is meaningless and all hail hedgehogs!

Using her speed booster Samus can run straight at hypersonic speed, and depending on which Dante he's either hypersonic+ or MHS.

Samus has the speed booster, which allows her to hit hypersonic speeds and break through obstacles. She can also shinespark, which is essentially just launching herself in a direction and destroying everything in the way.

That's right. A good sprinter-burst-speed, same as Dante. I can see them both in a race with Rainbow Dash for a bronze which is going to be damn interesting thing...and may quickly degenerate into 2 combat behemoths on one poor lil'pony.

None of that looks even remotely hypersonic to me.

Because of unclear "measurements" (unlike Dante's case where clear calculations were made)? I think we have a winner and a loser, thus (based on those videos Samus is MUCH slower than Dante even without Quicksilver and Sparda DT feats).
So it's
1) Sonic
2)Speedy
3) Rainbow Dash
4) Dante
5) Samus
Unsure about 3 and 4 (but everybody love ponies) and flying OVER obstacle is IMO much greater shortcut than running through it.

Samus has few other feats that put her in the hypersonic range, such as crossing a few hundred feat without being seen and outrunning gunfire while doing so.

Plus, the space jump allows her to fly if it's really so advantageous.

..why is Speedy here?

To get the token ethnic out of the way.

Can't read that, can barely see that, I don't think it is good enough evidence in it's current state.

Based on "running around Mexico in second" feat? Other than this, Samus is clear last (space jump IS a shortcut if handled properly, with reentering the atmosphere thousands of miles below, however this is applying RL spacecraft logic to her reentries). And the race for silver and bronze is epic (everyone agrees that gold is Sonic's).

I hope it's not, though. mmm

As it stands I don't trust my memory right now.

As for Rainbow Dash's speed:

How to do that depends on your browser. I use chrome, so I just right click--->Copy image URL.

With IE you need to rightclick--->Properties, and copy the URL from there.

Speedy flies down Links throat and burrows himself a home inside links heart. All hail toonforce!

Anything to say about the race?

Sonic comes in first
Then I'll say
Rainbow Dash
Speedy Gonzalas (He would be next but he needs to be about 20% cooler)
Dante
&
Samus?

I just imagined Samus morph balling it xD.

Boost Ball + Speed Booster. Samus is now a cannon ball.

Link starts with three hearts, feats to suggest impossibility of your theory, and the Triforce. He could wish Speedy away if he so desired. Gonzales better just stay back and continue the race. His chances are far better there.

Link has ten lifetimes worth of durability feats and enhancements to suggest otherwise, on top of Speedy's seeming lack of destructive feats to match.

Why don't you just seppuku yourself now. You speak this blasphemy because you've haven't played enough Zelda. (We need to change that.)

So, it seems I misremembered or was thinking of another cartoon, I cannot find Speedy's feat, so for now I'm just not going to vote on where I think he places. mmm

Sonic obviously wins, my bad on that.

After that I think Rainbow Dash is the top competitor.

Then I reclaim my statement about RR/Speedy going all out and bested by a small rocket their foes were riding.

I remember that^
Lol they were running like hell, speedy wasnt even goin ariba ariba , if thats not going all out then i dont know what is.
