Category 1: Appearance

Spoiler

While I like Mario's red look, I'm giving this one to Sonic, due to looking way more slick for me. You know this would be a heated battle.

Category 2: Abilities

Spoiler

Mario has been shown to perform numerous abilities like throwing fireballs, gliding with a cape, jumping really high, and can use FLUDD or a spin attack to stun enemies. However, this point goes to Sonic for having the ability to homing slam on enemies, high speed, and the ability to Spin Dash, and even use the Chaos Emeralds to go super saiyan.

Category 3: Actions

Spoiler

Well, both of them had their fair share of heroic deeds and stopping their rivals' plans for the hundredth time. But this point goes to Mario, as he helped two seperated friends that struggled to be together finally get what they wanted, ending total chaos and destruction in the process.

Category 4: Personality

Spoiler

Does Mario have a personality to speak of? Not really. He's very single-minded, and a bit of a robot. Sonic, on the other hand, has a lively personality and can be laid-back and cocky.

Category 6: Motivations

Spoiler

Both of these characters have similar motivations for their actions. However, Mario wins this one, as he was determined to help stop the entire dimensions from being nonexistent by breaking Tippi and Bleck of their hardships and helping them reunite.

This came down to two games: Super Paper Mario and Sonic Adventure. While Sonic Adventure was great, Super Paper Mario wins due to great story and gameplay.

Most of the above praise Mario; one even references Kirby.
