Well, the SNES is more powerful and has a better controller IMHO, but since hardware means jack squat without games, I'll decide like so.....
Mario > Sonic
Mario has more substance. Sonic is flash and dazzle platforming for the ADD-afflicted. (not that Sonic is bad, it's just not as good as Mario.)
SNES wins!

Megadrive all the way!
I can still remember the christmas it was released here in the uk, my granddad got one, i wan in nirvana shoving in sonic for the first time!
My best mate had a snes but i never got into it, the controller was a big reason, but i also found the major platformers too bitty and unforgiving, and no toe jam and earl!

I'm a SuperFamiKind-of-guy, but I think the Genesis did have a better controller.

Sorry nothing beats sonic, streets of rage, Phantasy star and any other sega game. Oh and all the other games that didn't come out on Snes like Gunstar hereos etc 
Genesis it is.
Sure SNES had more colours but Genesis had a better processor.
Mario=slow and boring

Damn, Sega all the way!
The Genesis had "blast processing" baby!!! And it actually did whoop SNES's ass in the US market (and maybe Jap, im not sure) The problem with all the GREAT RPG's for SNES, most of them were either JAP release only, or super rare. So ask yourself, have you played the system itself, ot just an emulator. Damn, the SNES, looked so clunky and "Space-2000!" esque. Console and games. The genesis was sharp, and cool. Quick and hip. Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Heady, Contra Hard Corps (definatley better than the alien wars! by far) Not to mention it has my new favorite game, Panorama Cotton, on it. And the controller was much more solid and well built. And I dont know who said "they cried themselves to sleep when they played Street Fighter II on A gen pad" but there frikkin nuts. Sega DID make a six-button pad for the genesis ya know?
Target Earth, Earthworm Jim, Comic Zone, Garfield Caught in the act, Phantasy Star, Devils Crash, (although better on PCE)

Snes definatley outweighs the Megadrive. I could rattle off a list of games but there are way too many. This doesn't mean I hate the Megadrive/Genesis. It is my second favorite console

My reasons for the Genesis love:
1) Kid Chameleon
2) Phantasy Star 2
3) Starflight
^ those 3 games kept me more occupied than all my SNES games combined.

I had both, and I played both equally, but I enjoted the MegaDrive more coz I dont like a lot of Old fashioned RPGs like Final Fanstasy and chrono trigger
I played a lot of platfoms games on my Megadrive (Mickey Mouse TCOI, Another World) but i still think the SNES was better coz it had the SUPERGameboy, and the Satellaview, which is redundant now, but it makes my SNES look fat enuff to sit on my Megadrive, which just has a measly 32X on it

The success of these polls, when people are honest, usually just affirm the relationship in sales to both consoles. Not much room for surprises I guess. Anyway, SNES all the way, baby!
EDIT: BTW, V3X, took me a while to realize your sig line didn't read: "I want Tekken 3 PORN!" Which, come to think of it, I do. Just kidding, and back to l337 speak 101 for me.
