    The amount of events is just right to get the most fun for your money.

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020's retro suite is compact but it kicks everything up a notch.

    With a fun story mode and a ton of minigames there is a lot to love about Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The game is full of fun facts about the event and history that keep you learning as you play. The map could be better and there maybe is too much reading involved, but that doesn't take away from the game in any big way.

    A fun but not so deep collection of minigames.

    Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 is an entertaining take on the sports-event genre that has, by and large, disappeared in the modern-day. The game aims for accessibility at every opportunity, and while nothing about it is particularly exceptional, it still has plenty of unique flourishes to offer, and the wealth of different events and simple controls make for an appealing casual multiplayer title. Thanks to a generous selection of events and a few neat gimmicks, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is the best entry in this series.

    There’s a lot of potential in the combination of the Mario and Sonic universes, and the Olympic setting is one of the grandest stages of them all. Yet after over a decade, the developers simply can’t make the series live up to its massive billing. The retro angle could have been the missing ingredient, but the game doesn't lean into this strength enough. What’s left is a party game that’s fun for a few hours, but will just as quickly be forgotten.

    Though bold and colourful and accompanied with a dazzling score, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 2020's clumsy gameplay lacks the polish we've come to expect from games emblazoned by that iconic little plumber.

    A really good game, but not as good as the version before. The scenery is nice, and the story mode is a great addition. Having options to playA really good game, but not as good as the version before. The scenery is nice, and the story mode is a great addition. Having options to play in more sports is good as well. The character choices are very great, and the story is good at introducing these characters. Some of the sports are pretty easy, and some a little more difficult. It is nice to see the Olympics represented in a game that has Mario and Sonic, and the only problem is that it can be too easy in some games.… Expand

And I also thought the story mode wasn’t so great with cutscenes like in Sonic Free Riders and I felt like there could’ve been more characters in the Tokyo 1964 part of the game. It’s a good game in my opinion, but doesn’t hold up like other Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games games. Still better than Sochi 2014… Expand
