Kingstar, I wouldn't discount it. It's pretty much common knowledge in the industry that everyone wants Mario to meet Sonic. Of course, they would both be the good guys. New enemies would have to be made, but I don't think that it's entirely impossible that it would be a straight platformer. Think of Sonic Adventure, and how you could control the different characters. It wouldn't be really all that different if Mario was one of the extra characters. (But of course featured just as prominantly as Sonic).
Of course the key to making that work would be to properly show the teamwork between Sonic and Mario. They have to be shown interacting with one another, while each of them keep their own distinctive playing styles.
What would be good for that might be a co-op mode, where one controls Sonic, and goes on ahead, while Mario does what he's good at with the jumping, and climbing. Maybe a vertical level with a few pipe warps would do the trick, as it would slow Sonic down a little, while still allowing the Sonic player to speed. A few puzzles that required teamwork might also be nice. Such as: Mario grabs Sonic, tosses him into the air, where Sonic rushes the far platform, and activates the switch that makes a path of bricks to appear for Mario to walk across.
I don't know, I think it could work if enough thought was put into it.
