Eggman and Bowser are teaming up to trap Mario and Sonic in a game console version of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Unfortunately for them, they get sucked into the retro device too! Meanwhile at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Luigi and Tails try to rescue them with the help of their friends who are willing to...

  Lots of fun mini-games to compete in; ability to skip the annoying ones

  Poor and confusing controls; not many people online

If there is anything that Super Smash Bros Ultimate has proved, it is that crossovers between large franchises can whet the appetite of any video gaming fan. The Mario & Sonic franchise is nothing new, in fact this Tokyo rendition is the sixth entry in the series now.

Before I played Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games: Tokyo 2020 , I had no idea that when Japan previously hosted the Olympics, the year was 1964. That's kind of cool, I think, and for me it brings to mind the 64-bit generation of video games.

The latest Mario and Sonic game goes for gold, but trips at the starting line.

2D (1964) Events:100m, 10m Platform (Diving), 400m Hurdles, Volleyball , Gymnastics – Vault, Judo, Kayakingle (K-1) 1000m, Long Jump, Marathon, Shooting – Trap

It’s a great game to play with a small group of friends or family. It reminds me of some of the Wii sport games. My family enjoys playing it together or the kids have started to explore the single player game, where it’s in more of a story mode.

It’s a fun game and the option to use different controls, make it fun, except when I’m trying to run while in my seat on a long flight to Hawaii.

Really fun game to play with the family or even on your own, multiple mini games, hours of playing and you get a hell of a workout

Fun for about 5 minutes, most of the games are button mashing and the story mode is 98 percent dialog or walking with no option to skip

It's pretty good.There's tons of events and you can go into 1946 or something like that.I would highly recommend for a family

This game helped my 7 year old son really get into the Olympics and all of the different sports this year! He loves it!

I have played the wii version of this and that was at least 9-11 years ago, so i was mu h younger, and it was fun and just the right amout of difficult. So when getting this game i was excited, but sad to say its a bit mor challenging than the wii version.

From my 7 year old son: "It has all of the sonic characters and take place at the olympics." From me: The gameplay is a lot of fun, and the story mode actually added value to the game.
