Mario VS Sonic | Fan-Made DEATH BATTLE! | LittleZbot

Rivals for decades, Mario and Sonic have competed in video games, television shows, comics, and sales numbers. But when it comes to an actual face-off in the ring, which one reigns supreme? Announced nearly six years ago and in development hell for nearly seven, LittleZbot’s fan-made Mario VS Sonic DEATH BATTLE is finally here! It’s the biggest project we’ve ever taken on, and we’ve been waiting to show you it for a long, long time.

This Death Battle is a one-and-done. We had our fun, but it took way too long and way too much out of us. If you’re new here, we make gaming videos and other things we think are fun, and we put our all into everything we do.
