    This is a good game. Not the Best in the M&S Series but still great. The graphics are outstanding for the 3DS. I still have not yet played all the Events/Sports in the Game but my favourites are Boxing, Football (Soccer), BMX, and a few more. The character selection though, is what messes up this game. Contenders? Are you serious? That is the only thing that ruins the game. Road to Rio isThis is a good game. Not the Best in the M&S Series but still great. The graphics are outstanding for the 3DS.

Contenders? Are you serious? That is the only thing that ruins the game. Road to Rio is pretty fun and Pocket Marathon is awesome. Win stuff just for walking. I got A LOOOOOOOT of steps when I was visiting my Family in Tokyo because I would take my 3DS Everywhere, Tokyo is where I walk a lot. Whenever I'm out in the streets, or taking pictures or videos of trains, I win stuff at the same time. The costumes and outfits look amazing, although my Mii can't fit most of them, I just bought them anyway because they looked cool especially the Koopalings! Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (M&S Rio 2016) is a good game and I would recommend it. Really fun. Although I do wish Soccer was a little faster, I've been playing quite a bit of Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube as well, so sometimes I do mess up but that is okay. I tend to score anyway.… Expand

    This is a really simple game with a lot of variety, not all the mini games are fun but I got enjoyment out of most of them. If you didn't like the other Mario and Sonic games you probably won't like this one either.

    By far the best game in the Mario and Sonic series. Fun mini games, tight controls, and excellent graphics are only the beginning of how this is the best one.

    A great game of mixes of sega and nintendo but release it too early. it is as good as the 2012 london olympics game! We all know we can thank Nintendo for 2 things- 1 saving Sega and 2 LETTING THEM INTO THIS AMAZING GAME. This is absaloutley the best mario/sonic game yet

    I and my 7yr old son thoroughly enjoyed the game. The visuals, music and gameplay are absolute delight and unique. Would have loved more motion control and nunchuck if they were provided to bring about off couch play style like WiiFit Resort. Loved the duration of games. Albeit definitely engaging and fun.

    Игра хорошая. Это сборник игр по спортивной тематике с персонажами Марио и Соник. В неё интересно играть. Есть игра на двоих.

    "Mario & Sonic" needs something truly new to recapture its novelty – something that isn't just another Olympics. [Issue #22 – July/August 2016, p.75]

    Not up for medal contention. Buy London 2012 for the PS2 instead.
