    Fun... But that's where it stops.

    My reasons: 1, No 'Party Mode'. The party mode of London was al lot of fun if done with many people, and with the Winter games at the DS and Wii there were some very fun partygames too. But this game misses all of that. 2, Not much to collect. The previous games (Mainly the Wii versions) had so much stuff to collect. Music, outfits for Mii's and    Fun... But that's where it stops.

    My reasons:

    1, No 'Party Mode'. The party mode of London was al lot of fun if done with many people, and with the Winter games at the DS and Wii there were some very fun partygames too. But this game misses all of that.

    2, Not much to collect. The previous games (Mainly the Wii versions) had so much stuff to collect. Music, outfits for Mii's and other small tidbits. Here you can collect trivia and achievements... and that's it... very saddening.

    3. Story Mode. As fun as the story is, after you've completed it, there's not much reason to go back after collecting all Trivia. Vancouver on the DS had a massive story mode with a surprising amount of post-story content. I hoped with the extra power you guys had at your disposal would return something as massive as that. Additionally, the areas you walk around in are beautiful, but sadly your freedom of movement to check the venues is really limited. A free moving camera would have solved this to a extent.

    4, No Grand Prix kinda events. I loved those! But that they are completely absent is a letdown for the party value. That's all I have to say about it.

    All in all, Fun... that's it. Story has no replay value, the events are easy to grasp but I'm missing a certain depth like Vancouver and London had, Especially on the collectables as collecting those was one of the most fun things to do in the previous titles. (Note, I've only played until London, skipped the Wii U.) I still have hope for the Winter Games, and that you guys will return to the core of the games.    … Expand

    The gameplay videos from E3 onward gave me a lot of hope for the game but now that the game is here I'm really disappointed in the final product.

Motion controls are hit-or-miss, and downright painful to use most of the time. The biggest issue is that the events themselves end so quickly that you'll spend most of your time in menus choosing events and characters than actually playing the game.

    As a local/couch party game, it's OK but it doesn't have much staying power. You can only play one event at a time, then choose another. You can't create a chain of events, there's no tournament style mode, no marathon event mode... just one mode, played once, and then the choice to replay the same event or go back to the main menu. After 20-30 minutes, you'll put it down in favor of some other game because you will have exhausted all of the fun Mario & Sonic have to offer in Tokyo. The story mode is OK but short and essentially exists as a tutorial to the game modes. I don't recommend playing quick events solo because the AI is dreadfully stupid even on the hardest difficulty settings, offering no challenge.

    If you're looking for party games, there's better alternatives than this.    … Expand

    This is without a doubt the best entry in this subseries.
    Aesthetically gorgeous, fun events, fun story mode, colorful, it all adds up for a really solid experience.
    The menus are easy to navigate, the online is a blast and easy to learn.
    Only gripe is small, and that's that the extra characters are only playable in singular events.

You're given a bunch of control options for each event, but most if not all of the motion control offerings are always out of sync with your movements. Sometimes they even shoehorn in motion controls when you only want to play with buttons... that's downright despicable! And even if they don't do that, the controls are still unintuitive and poorly conceived. Having to randomly hold buttons while pressing others, and also having to switch between A and B to B and A in the same event, is just... insanity! Meanwhile the story mode has no repeating or branching paths like I would expect from a game with so many events and characters. The way the characters talk in cutscenes is so boring... it's just as boring as Mario Tennis Aces, if not more so. I swear I wanted the main characters in the modern world to punch the villains because of how slow everything was happening! They even managed to make skipping text unbearable! In the 1964 world you have to wait until the first line of text has been printed before you can even press the skip button! What's left of the Gallery is trivia, and 10 lackluster minigames that offer no replay value. Minigames should offer rewards beyond just a high score, and also increasing difficulty with each session. That's what Beijing 2008 does! Even the music and visual style of Tokyo 2020 isn't as good as the vistas and parades that were present in Rio 2016! It honestly baffles me that I'm able to list off so many negative aspects of Tokyo 2020, and I have no intention of touching this game ever again.… Expand

    It is a very fun game with lots of variety of tests and that in company you will enjoy it to the fullest. This is the best game of the mario and sonic saga in the olympic games and also brings a very cool modality to be able to play some games in retro mode without forgetting that it very well squeezes the controls of the joycon

    It is a nice game. Some of the controls are a little bit off-putting, but I'm impressed with the story mode and all of the events including the 2D mode. I've enjoyed playing this so far, and I agree that the reviews are a bit biased, but I think this game has some potential that others don't see.

    This game deserves so much hate for no reason. I mean, this game is amazing. Stellar graphics, amazing events, decent story mode...my god, this game is so good. My only complaint is how this 2019 game advertised the 2020 Olympic Games, which ended up being in 2021. But regardless, I recommend you stop your whining about how mid this game is, pop it into your Switch, and give it a try.

    2 - With that said, what are the major problems of this game? Firstly when playing online you can't change anything regarding the game, making most of the minigames unplayable : For example you can only play soccer with the configuration time of 1 minute. WHO HAS FUN playing soccer for 1 minute? Same for rugby and other games...
    3 - Games that should be playing by turns, when playing local they are split screen and you don't have any option to make it a turn based game, for example : Archery and Gimnastics. But what is the problem with that? Well, the problem is that this way you're supposed to have 2 joy con pairs yo play a game with motion like archery that could easily be a turn based game.
    4 - And finnally you can't create a tournament mode where you select some minigames in order and compete with them... you cant only quick play and that's it.

    I'm truly dissapointed with this game and with myself that bought this. If I knew that the company would bankrupt I'd never bought it because these points that I showed are really fixable by a simple patch but it wont be fixed and the game will be almost unplayable.

    I wish I could have my refund but nintendo doens't do that. Guess next time I will wait a month before a release to see if the game is worth it and if is getting support...    … Expand

It's polished, it's got a great amount of content... it even has a story mode that takes hours to beat. In the artistic department, it has some beautiful 3D representations of iconic Tokyo locations, and a nostalgic trip in the form of a 8-slash-16 bit mash-up mode inspired by the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games. As for the mini-games, there are plenty to keep you entertained, and each has simple controls in the surface- yet it can be mastered the more you play them as more complex controls are revealed to you the more you play them. Overall it's a more engaging game than the previous entries in the saga. The roster of characters is pretty complete, with some extra characters here and there that you can unlock for specific events. It kept me entertained for more time than I had initially expected. Even the music is good- some of the retro-styled tunes are pretty catchy! Recommended for fans of both franchises, especially as a family game.… Expand

    I've been excited for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 ever since it was announced at E3, and I really wanted it when it came out. When I first played it, I was not disappointed, as I found loads of enjoyment with the events and story mode.
    The events are really fun to play. My personal favorites are Karate, 110m Hurdles and Gymnastics.

    The events are really fun to play. My personal favorites are Karate, 110m Hurdles and Gymnastics. These events are fun, and challenging, but not to challenging to beginners. There isn't really an event I hate playing, but I've definitely found my favorites.
    The dream events are ok. I really like Dream Shooting and Dream Karate, but Dream Racing just feels off. I don't really know what it is, but dream racing doesn't click with me.
    The retro events affect my score in a negative way, but not by much. I like that they're here, but I wouldn't mind if they were excluded. What really makes me want to quit the event the most, is the fact that I have to switch to my Joy-Cons, which are currently experiencing drift issues. This is because the controller I usually use has the button layout of a gamecube controller. Using Joy-Cons is easier because it has the button layout shown on screen, while the controller I usually use does not.
    Online mode doesn't suck, which is something smash ultimate can't say. The majority of online games I've played have had no input delay, and very little lag. Even the 1v1 minigames feel really good. The major problem with it is that no one's online. It seems to be fairly difficult just to find a match online, but when you do, they are fun and the connection is rarely bad.
    Story mode is cool, but not the best. The concept is great, I mean, getting sucked into a game machine sounds cool. When you play the actual events, it doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing every time. The main issue with the story mode in my opinion is that some of the events feel impossible, but maybe I just suck at the game.
    The major issue I have with this game is there's very little replay value when you complete the story mode, unless you have friends that want to play a sonic game, which considering the reputation sonic games get, you probably won't have many people wanting to play. You could play online, but like I mentioned earlier, nobody's online, and I'm pretty certain it's going to be a wasteland in a few months because people will abandon the game. You could play the story mode again, or even try to speedrun it if that's your thing, but I personally don't think that'll add replay value to the game.
    Overall, this is a fun game with a fun selection of events you can play and characters you can play as, but it's held back by the huge lack of replay value.    … Expand

On apprend beaucoup de choses sur la ville et le contexte. Cela donne au jeu, en plus des épreuves olympiques, un côté pédagogique très malin.

    Una saga que espero nunca muera, claro, tiene muchas cosas que mejorar aún y cosas que podría evolucionar para bien pero no deja de ser divertido de jugar y disfrutar cada entrega

    Most events are good and the story mode is a fun distraction. Online is great too!

    It offers a bunch of events to have a good time, but some of them like karate or 100m are very short. Sometimes the joycons are not precise enough. Is just what I was expecting.

    This game is interesting to say the least. There is a lot going for this game and I really dig the retro vibe of it when you can play as 8-bit Mario or 16-bit Sonic. Story mode was fine but it dragged a lot at times. And maybe I am in the minority but I was not fond of some of the mini games. But that is neither here nor there as those were not my main issues.

    Some of the comtrols for the game such as boxing and the other combat events, kayak (retro), and gymnastics were very difficult to control. This was primarily my main problem of the game and a big one at that.    … Expand

    I always loved the idea of a Mario Olympic game. So I was over the moon when the first Mario & Sonic Olympics was released. It was a wee bit of fun then and it's still a wee bit of fun now.

    Visuals and sound are on par with every other Nintendo sports game, it's everything you would expect. Even though there is a large selection of events, there isn't much in the ways of content.

Sure, the story mode is some lighthearted fun, but that's all. It is nice to see a story driven single player experience, but it lacks a lot of depth and drags out a little bit too much. Like any Olympic video game, it's all about how each event controls. What we have here is some that control intuitively, clunky and everything in between. At least there is a nice variety to play around with though.

    Overall, it's all a bit of fun for any Switch owner, but I would try to get it on a heavy discount (if that is even possible for a Nintendo game these days).    … Expand

    The game is nothing but a lot of quick time events, and half the game is not playable with 3 or more people.

    This game has pretty solid mini games. They are on par with Mario party in presentation and quite a bit more complex. Expect a lot of fun when playing with others. I wouldn't bother playing solo. The story is fairly meh but the quality in the mini games is there. It is also nice having some that will take time to master. Solid 8/10 if you have friends to play with. You won't be disappointed.

    This game is very good because of all the events you can do and the story mode, I had a fun time trying to go for a couple world records the only thing is that nobody is ever playing online.

    This game is really fun with friends but if you have no friends or family to play with then it is quite boring also I do feel there could've been some more minigames, but I guess not. one funny thing about this game is the Tokyo Olympic games 2020 never happened.

    Pretty good, if you ask me. Motion controls don't work sometimes, but it might just be my controllers. I kinda love the story mode, if you ask me. Might be worth your money with a good controller.

    This is far and away the best Mario & Sonic, or Olympics video game ever. It's story is fun and charming and it's roster is huge. Most of the events are done better than the others and the graphics are fantastic. It's still, well, a plumber and a hedgehog jumping over a bar, but it's done in such a way where it dosen't feel like that.

    It’s a decent game and all but, why is the box art so basic and boring? 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

    No me dijo nada. Más de lo mismo que las anteriores entregas. Si te gusta la línea de Mario y Sonic en los Juegos Olímpicos te gustará. Pero a diferencia con otros juegos similares de mini juegos, no me enganchó. He jugado un par de veces.

    Though there is room to improve, Mario & Sonic nevertheless do what they do best, and that's deliver a fun experience from beginning to end. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 60]

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is sixth installment in the franchise, as it stands somewhere in the middle. It may not be the best, but surely isn't the worst of them all. It looks superb, has a few really outstanding mini-games and even a selection of 10 retro styled ones for all you nostalgia lovers out there.

    Overall, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is the best game in the franchise for newcomers. The game offers an abundance of events and a charming story that’ll give younglings insight into the history of the Olympic Games. If you are looking into becoming a competitive athlete online, then this game will not be for you. However, it is perfect for any get together with friends and/or family, due to the game’s short session mentality.
