Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is the fifth installment in the Mario & Sonic series of crossover games, officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee and based on the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. The Nintendo 3DS version was released first in February 2016 in Japan, while it will launch in North America in March and April in Europe and Australia. Meanwhile, the Wii U version will be released later in the year. Finally, for the first time in the series, an arcade version has been announced for a Japanese release in 2016.
Gameplay
Players can compete in various Olympic events as characters from the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises. In this installment, rather than have set normal and dream events, each event now has a "normal" and "Dream" variation. For events, however, in the Nintendo 3DS version only certain characters can compete in certain events.
The Nintendo 3DS version brings back the adventure mode, in which the player's Mii must defeat various characters at events.
The Nintendo 3DS version of the game is known to be compatible with amiibo. Scanning a Mario or Sonic amiibo turns their costumes into Gold Mario and Super Sonic respectively.
