I think I know how to explain why the powers of both Mario and Sonic are all over the place. Both the Mario and Sonic series are less like single narrative stories and more like urban folk lore tales, with each tale telling a different perspective for a character. There could be several different video games, movies, TV shows and comic books featuring the same character running on the shelves at the same time, but none of those entries would tell that character's story in the same way.
