Then there's the shot we've all been waiting for - Mario and Sonic running for the line. When the game was announced back in March, Shigeru Miyamoto famously commented that "we may finally find out who's faster, Mario or Sonic." Well it seems we still don't know as Mario and Sonic are neck and neck below.

Dude, Sonic's name even relates to high speed transport. Sonic would pwn Mario in a race.
