Honestly, while I love the thought of it, Nintendo couldn't have actually copied it, since Super Paper Mario would take several years to develop. I guess Sega simply beat them to the punch, lol.

Sonic is indeed a rip-off of Mario, IMO. But the character himself is unique. The games steal too many elements, though.
