Epic Rap Battles of Fandom: Mario vs Sonic
The song "Mario vs Sonic - Épicas Batallas de Rap Del Frikismo" by Alex Keyblade is a creative and humorous take on a hypothetical rap battle between two of the most iconic characters in video game history: Mario from Nintendo and Sonic from Sega. The lyrics are filled with references to their respective video game franchises, highlighting their achievements and poking fun at each other's perceived shortcomings.
Mario starts off by boasting about his worldwide fame and Nintendo's success, while belittling Sonic by calling him a 'vulgar animal' and mocking Sega's decline. He references his own versatility and success in various games, including the Olympics, and threatens to kick Sonic's 'blue behind.' Sonic retorts by correcting Mario, emphasizing his identity as a hedgehog, and attacks Mario's physique and the perceived sexism in his games. Sonic also brags about his speed, his battles against formidable foes like the Black Knight, and his wealth from collecting emeralds.
The song cleverly uses the characters' traits and histories to craft insults and boasts, turning their adventures into ammunition for the rap battle. The playful banter between the two characters is a celebration of their legacies while also serving as a commentary on the rivalry between Nintendo and Sega during the 90s. The track is a testament to the enduring popularity of these characters and the passionate fan communities that continue to debate who is the ultimate video game hero.
