Jumping doesn't take long, especially not for Mario. Mario can also spin in his jumps fast enough to bounce on spikes sharp enough to kill him, and one spin is all it takes to send Bowser spiraling across a small planet. Simply going into a spin might just knock Sonic away.
Did you miss the part of my post that brought up the speed of light? mmm

I needs to see it. I just watched Wei's video, and Eggman reacted to him fast enough in a giant robot...
Honestly he was playing with Robotnik that entire time. The evidence is in the look on his face and tone of his voice, also the fact that he didn't instantly catch up to him as Super Sonic. Sonic is a playful character who only takes things seriously when it's life or death. In that same vid you see Sonic dodging laser, bullets and homing missiles.
I don't know about LS, probably when he and the other hedgehogs time traveled. He's fast enough without LS though, there is no way that Mario can hit him.
Speed feats and a blitz starts at 2:26

That doesn't show him moving faster than Sonic speed, which his name implies.This thread doesn't include super sonic, either.
I already stated it wasn't light speed and it was still faster than Mario has ever gone or can react to, and his name doesn't imply sonic speed really, he's way faster than that.
Here's another speedblitz and he falls out of the sky and manages to catch his food.

You can't really tell if that is faster than sonic speed, nothing really for you to math out.
Also the Emeralds are standard gear for him so he could go super if he wanted to. I can show three instances where he goes Super without having to go out and collect them.

Hahaha, wow. I had completely forgotten about that title. What the hell were Blaze, Shadow, and Knuckles doing there, though? 😬

I'm just highlighting that the only times I know of where Sonic goes much faster than Sonic speed are during bouts of Super/Hpyer-sonicness.Also, since when are the emeralds standard? o_O; They might as well just call the thread super sonic vs ___ then.
Also, Mario outruns and jumps on bullets. 😗
In Sonic Unleashed he has them at the start, when he comes back to life in Sonic The Hedgehog instantly turns super.
Bullet Bills are slow and Sonic outruns bullets, missiles, lasers whatever.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteThey aren't standard. Sonic either has to collect them himself, or be in proximity to someone who uses their power. Such was the case in Sonic the Hedgehog when Sonic was brought back to life as Super Sonic.

As for Sonic Unleashed, Sonic simply collected the emeralds prior to the opening sequence, much like the opening sequence of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, in which Knuckles knocks the Super out of Sonic with a single punch.
Don't get me wrong, Mario is fighting an uphill battle against Sonic's speed, but unless the OP states otherwise, the Chaos Emeralds aren't part of Sonic's standard gear. Likewise, neither are Mario's Super Stars.
Originally posted by MooCowofJusticeIf we're not given a battlefield, then don't we assume an arena setting? Why wouldn't Sonic be able to hit Mario under those conditions?
I'm not sure Sonic can hit Mario.
I have to be honest, with just their standard abilities, I think Sonic takes this. His speed puts him over the top. Mario is strong enough to KO him, though, if he had some way to slow Sonic or trip him up. Luck maybe? Neither one has a significant durability advantage, IMO.
Add power ups and its a whole new ballgame.
