Well then Sonic wins hands-down! All he'd have to do is roll and split the little fat bastard in half. What's Mario gonna do, hit him with his hat?
No powerups, bare-bones characters, Sonic wins. Anything else just complicates the issue.
Depends on where you are in the Mario timeline. Post "Superstar Saga" Mario has the ability to throw fire balls in his non-powered up state.
