Anyone dissing Sonic, be it modern or classic, is clearly a dissenting Mario loving Nintendo fanboy.

Sorry, but the facts can't be denied.

Happy New Year all. :mrgreen:

I always get sad when you run into those types. I was always a Nintendo kid, but I loved playing Genesis games at various friend's houses.

I guess fanboy rivalries never got to me much.

Maybe you should switch go Geico.

So the real reason I posted this, other than it's Sonic, was to ask if any other video game character has been used to promote big companies.
I guess I should have posed it as a direct question in the OP, but other than cereals, and other food products, what other video game characters have sponsored big companies (i.e. insurance etc)?
Self marketing for the video game brand doesn't count.

Mario starred in a Got Milk? PSA around the time of the N64.
