Believe it or not, but doing the math, Sonic is slower than Mario. Basically, some guy measured the length of the first levels in each game in terms of miles and used the world record for speed runs on said levels to measure the top speed.

Of course, this is going by the classic versions of said characters, as I am sure that modern Sonic is faster by sheer virtue of the fact that a number of his levels are the size of cities.
