How Mario Influenced Sonic

I hope you found this interesting. I certainly did while playing the Mario games. I have a feeling some people might say this is a bit of a stretch. But I don't think so. We know for a fact Sonic Team was looking at Mario for inspiration. And they ended up taking a lot more than maybe most people realize.
A part of me thinks the game design things that I've come to realize here may be obvious to others. It's only through my tunnel vision on speed that I didn't see what was happening, perhaps. Wouldn't be too surprising, considering how many people are ignorant to that aspect of these games. But I hope my breakdown here was at least interesting.
