But, if you want the full explanation, Mario and Sonic would make an AWFUL adventure game, for too many reasons to count. Here's some:

Mario doesn't talk.
Nintendo would never license their characters out to a company like Telltale(no offence, TTG).
The game would alienate all of M&S's younger players/preteen Sonic players.
Telltale couldn't release this game to anything but Wii/DS.
A Sonic adventure game(not the Sonic Adventure game) would be just plain awful, mostly because of the current Sonic's voice and "tude".
TTG would be forced to add platforming elements into the game.
Both series do not have good enough plots for adventure games.

Also, shouldn't this be moved into General Chat?

I don't think the question was about a Mario or Sonic adventure game, but rather about Mario or Sonic appearing in Poker Night, amidst the other crossover characters.

That said, I actually think a Mario adventure COULD work...after all, there have been several pretty successful Mario RPGs...

There have been a handful of very great adventure games, in various subgenres, which feature silent protagonists. And really it's only been the various Mario RPG games which strictly follow the "Mario doesn't talk" trope. Mario said several full sentences in both Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, although I shudder to think of how annoying it'd be to hear him talking constantly in that voice though a full Telltale-style adventure.

In short, I think a Mario-based point-and-click game could work, in theory, but I also think that this is the worst thread ever

Nonsense.

Fixed.

Mario doesn't have enough personality. Sonic I'm not as familiar with, but I don't think he does either.

I dissagree on the plot point. ESPECIALLY StH if you follow the older Cannon (SatAM/pre-50 Archie Commics) plenty of plot that could be explored and no need for platformer elements. Tho I think the main char would have to be Sally or Tails... I do agree Sonic's attatude doesnt really fit the role of main char in this kinda game.

Likewise I think a Mario PnC adventure woudl be possible from a plot perspective, after all, look at the Mario RPG and Paper Mario series'

Moot point tho, your right on all the other points.

Other than Licensing issues and such, I really don't see why it would be a problem from the plot perspective...

but why stop there, lets throw in Dante (Devil may Cry) and Samus (Metroid) and Link (legend of Zelda) hell while we're at it, lets put Ratchet and Clank in there along with Chrono (ChronoTrigger) and maybe even Master Chef (Halo) and Spyro the dragon! (anyone else see how this is geting sillier and sillier?)

I see this as a point FOR having him in a poker game, makes him all the better player lol

I think that Master Chief could be a very good poker player. For one thing, he has an excellent poker face. At least, as long as he keeps his helmet on...

[FitzoliverJ]

Hmm... perhaps Telltale could turn "The Super Mario Bros Super Show" into an adventure game?








[Tumbleweed slowly passes]








So, that's a "no", then?

[xbskid]

I vote no.

[jeeno0142]

I'm going to have to stick with a 'no' in this case. Certain characters just aren't meant for the adventure gaming world. Mario and Sonic are perfect examples of such a thing.

Haven't you all heard about the new game from Bungie "Halo's Kitchen"? (ROTFLOL!)

Expect this is not an adventure game.

[koiboi59]

it is said in an ancient prophecy that if mario and sonic appear in any ttg game, the world would end from just glimpsing the title screen. seriously, its a bad idea.
