The 16-bit era of the early 1990s was one of the bitterest of the Console Wars, and the Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog series were two of the strongest weapons for the Fanboys. Thus when Sega left the hardware business, it was a huge shock that they also announced they were going third party, and thus their games would be on Nintendo systems in addition to the others.A crossover was the next logical step. After Sega got the license for the Olympic Games, Nintendo jumped in to get a piece of the tasty, tasty, athletic action, and that was where they decided the first crossover would be, so the casts of the respective series were slapped together to compete in various events.The games in the series: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Beijing 2008) (DS and Wii) Sonic at the Olympic Games (Java-based Mobile Phone Game; spinoff featuring only the Sonic cast) Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Vancouver 2010) (DS and Wii) Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (iOS; second game in the series featuring only the Sonic cast, delisted from the App Store) Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (3DS and Wii) Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Winter Games (Wii U) Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Arcade, Wii U and 3DS) Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (Arcade and Nintendo Switch) Sonic at the Olympic Games - Tokyo 2020 (iOS and Android; third game in the series featuring only the Sonic cast, a new story, several new events, and a $9.99 price tag for full game)See also the Super Smash Bros. series, another crossover involving both Mario and Sonicnote notably, Sonic's debut in the series in Super Smash Bros. Brawl came at around the same time as the first game in the Olympic series, which meant double the hype at the time; and amiibo, Nintendo's toyline which Rio 2016 supports. Not to be confused with a side series of serious, down-to-earth Olympic video games also developed by Sega. |

The Artifact: Blaze's status as an all-round character. Back in the first game, there was supposed to be an equal balance of Mario and Sonic characters for each type, hence Blaze being categorized as all-round instead of speed. But despite the second game introducing new characters that unbalanced the list, Blaze remains all-round. |

comment |
Darker and Edgier: Done tongue-in-cheek with the Rio 2016 game art. Prior M&S games usually have the main characters smiling and enjoying themselves while partaking in Olympic events◊. In Rio 2016, all the characters have a new sense of competitive intensity◊, looking angry, and the titular mascots, looking like best friends on the box arts in games prior, are now butting heads, as if they remember the old console wars. The happy-go-lucky world of M&S Olympics has definitely gone hardcore this time around. The "Road to Rio" story mode from the 3DS version is definitely a bit darker. The plot involves the heroes' medals being stolen from the Hall of Medals and rumors spreading around about both mascot's gyms fighting, with the locals showing confusion with how the two gyms are suddenly not getting along (and some of the rumors and the accusations that come from them are pretty nasty). Though, only the fanboys in costumes seem to be the ones really fighting ... but it turns out they're being brainwashed to do the dirty work for Bowser and Dr. Eggman. Also, the two most recent installments of the series were given an Everyone 10+ by the ESRB, up from the typical Everyone rating from prior games, due to more realistic depictions of martial arts competitions among the characters. |

Villain Team-Up: Bowser and Dr. Eggman do it on three different occasions in the Vancouver 2010 DS game, the London 2012 3DS game, and the Rio 2016 3DS game. Their Dragons, Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic, do this too in Vancouver 2010. Tokyo 2020 has Bowser Jr. working with Eggman Nega due to the usual villainous duo being trapped in the game. |

It Will Never Catch On: Sega hoped both versions of the first game would sell 4 million copies combined. They got laughed at by the gaming press and on Message Boards. To date, both versions of the first game have sold more than that each. In fact, the Wii version is currently the highest selling Sonic game of all time (second best if you count Super Smash Bros.. Brawl), and the second game is also a hit, with the Wii version selling just over 4 million, and the DS version selling over 3 million, as of early September 2011. |

Had they bothered to open them, they wouldn't have started a Revenge Plot for not receiving their invitations. |

Ascended Meme: This whole series qualifies as one. Before this sub-franchise was even conceived to be a thing, there have been hundreds if not thousands of Super Mario Bros./Sonic The Hedgehog crossover fan works flooding around the internet in the 2000's, with either the two universes teaming up or duking it out with each other. And that's not even mentioning the infamous Console Wars from The '90s. |

Insurmountable Waist-High Fence: The Adventure mode of the DS version of Winter Games has lots of these, whether they may be low ledges you can't drop onto without a slope, higher ledges you can't jump or climb onto, crates you can't vault over, et cetera. |

A Twinkle in the Sky: In Rio 3DS, if the player finds all the secrets and confront Bowser and Dr. Eggman, the player's Mii and Mario and Sonic spin into the duo (Mario uses his Spin attack from Super Mario Galaxy and Sonic uses his Spinball with the Mii using either one depending who you sided with at the start) and the two villains are sent flying into the sky this way, Team Rocket-style. |

Early-Installment Weirdness |
| | Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first entry in the series has several features not consistent with the later games: Several things from the other entries aren't present in the first game: Donkey Kong, Silver, Bowser Jr., and Metal Sonic as playable characters. Runblebee as the announcer. The Dream Events taking place in Mario & Sonic locales. In the first game, the girls wear their standard athletic outfits for swimming and gymnastics. They would not be given swimsuits/leotards until the London installment. There was no acceleration stat in the first game, and stats for Technique and Power characters were different: Technique characters were actually the second fastest while Power characters were the slowest. From Winter onwards, Technique characters were made the slowest instead while Power characters were the second fastest but hampered by middling acceleration. |

| | Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Video Game) / int_5049f19d |
comment |
Do Well, But Not Perfect: One of Vector's missions in the DS version of Beijing 2008 is landing 2nd Place in 100m Freestyle Swimming under 50 seconds. That is ''2nd'' Place; landing in 1st Place would fail the mission. Although this may be a way of compensating the fact that Vector has the most difficult swimming style in that game, this does appear counterproductive. |

Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress: In the Adventure Mode of the DS version of Winter Games, Knuckles comes across a rusty lever on a platform in Cubyrinth he stands on and pulls it, causing the platform to drop from beneath his feet. For a while, he and the player character hang in mid-air, before plummeting into a Disconnected Side Area back in Polastraits. |

Villainous Friendship: Dr. Eggman and Bowser becomes great friends when they meet each other, and notable in that neither party ever tries to plot against the other. Considering Bowser's bad blood with other villains in the main series, and Eggman being usually usurped as the main threat. As it turns out, they have a lot in common with each other, and also share a mutual hatred for the mascot heroes. |

Weird Crossover: Variation: the universes of Mario and Sonic mixing are is not unusual in itself (it happening is basically the video game-equivalent of JLA/Avengers ). However, the setting (a sporting competition, not a platforming game, the native gameplay style of both characters) vaults it well and truly into this territory. |

Door to Before: The Adventure mode of the DS version of the first Winter Games has drawbridges that prevent you from crossing them in one particular direction until they're crossed in the other direction. Once you find a way to cross them, the drawbridge permanently closes, allowing you to cross it in either direction for easier traversal to earlier or later areas. |

The stories are: Joining Mario's gym has a subplot of several ghost sightings. Joining Sonic's gym has a subplot of a sudden explosive rivalry between both gyms as well as mysterious robberies which led to all the medals go missing. |

Your Size May Vary: Sonic's official height is 3'3", yet in these games, he's roughly the same height, if not slightly taller than Mario, who is 5'1". With introductions of taller characters from the Sonic series like Zavok and Zazz, this becomes even more egregious. Zavok's official height is 5'1", the same as Mario, but he's depicted to be as big as Bowser in height. |

Retraux: Tokyo 2020 has a mode called "2D Events", where you can play as either Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, or Eggman in Olympic events with retro graphics. The Mario characters appear as their 8-bit sprites from the original Super Mario Bros., while the Sonic characters appear as their 16-bit sprites from the Sega Genesis gamesnote In the case of Sonic himself, his sprite is from the first two games in his series, instead of the one from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The story mode also centers around these 2D Events, seeing the characters travel back in time to the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games. |

The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: In the DS version of Winter Games, the Adventure Mode ends with a three-event Final Boss showdown with Bowser and Dr. Eggman. Your first victory for all of 3 of these events must be achieved by none other than Mario and Sonic (although you have to choose only one or the other for the final Extreme Snowboarding race); no other characters are allowed. |

A Day in the Limelight: In Tokyo 2020, due to the usual heroes and villains being trapped in the video game, Luigi, Tails, Bowser Jr. and Eggman Nega become the main movers of the plot back in reality. |

Continuity Nod: Several NPC's mention both Beijing and Vancouver in London Party. A lot of the characters' special boost are these. Peach uses her midair floating from Super Mario Bros. 2, Waluigi uses his air swimming from Mario Tennis, and Shadow uses Chaos Control from Sonic Adventure 2. Despite their previous meeting being erased from existing, the DS 2010 story mode shows Silver and Blaze being partners. One of the fun News Briefs that can be found in the Vancouver story mode states Wario is the president of WarioWare inc. Two of Sochi's special team victory animations belong to Knuckles and Vector and Silver and Blaze. |

Missing Secret: In Tokyo 2020's Story Mode, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building has the entrance to the observatory platform, which is blocked off by Metal Sonic and his Egg Pawns. After you get rid of Metal Sonic, the entrance is now clear, but if you attempt to enter it, Tails will tell you that saving Mario and Sonic is more important. After saving them and completing the Story, when you head back to the Government Building, Metal Sonic and his Egg Pawns are back. Even after winning the minigame, Metal Sonic still remains there, so the observatory platform is truly inaccessible. |

Failed Future Forecast: Tokyo 2020 is set in the summer of 2020 when the Olympics are happening, when in real life, months after the game was released, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to jokes among fans about the game being set in an ideal Alternate History where there's no pandemic. Ultimately averted as the Games will still keep the '2020' name. |

This is also inverted if enemies, like Sonic and Dr. Eggman, are working together.

Reformulated Game |
| | Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Video Game) / int_d639cf57 |
comment |
Reformulated Game: The console and handheld versions of each game differ in different ways: Most of Beijing 2008 stayed the same between Wii and DS but some events got replaced: 4X100M Freestyle got replaced with 10M Platform. Rowing got replaced with Cycling. The selection of Dream Events were different (The Wii had Dream Platform as it's one exclusive Dream, while the DS had five exclusive Dream Events which where Dream Basketball, Boxing, Shooting, Long Jump, and Canoe. Dream Race, Table Tennis and Fencing were shared between both versions). Vancouver 2010 on the Wii had the Festival Tour mode which let you play across the course of entire three weeks of the Winter Olympics while the DS Version had the Adventure Tour, a full length story in which Bowser and Eggman tried cancelling the Winter Olympics by capturing the Snow Spirits and it was up to Mario and Sonic to save the day. London 2012 had one the most drastic reformulations between console and handheld. On the Wii, it was the standard affair of continuing the formula of the first two games but on 3DS each event only had four playable characters split into the following categories: The Heroes (Mario, Sonic, Luigi & Tails) The Girls (Peach, Amy, Daisy & Blaze) The Wild Ones (Bowser, Knuckles, Donkey Kong & Vector) The Tricksters (Wario, Dr Eggman, Waluigi & Metal Sonic) The Challengers (Yoshi, Shadow, Bowser Jr & Sliver) Each group was only playable in about 11 or 12 events each. Other differences between versions include the London Party Mode featured in the Wii version being replaced by a Story Mode in the 3DS version. Rio 2016 on the 3DS continued the formula of London 2012 3DS by how certain characters are locked to certain events, but instead of being split into categories each character is only playable in two events while Mario and Sonic themselves are playable in all events but on the Wii U all the staple characters can be played in any Event as you wish. Other differences include the 3DS version having a RPG-like mode called Road To Rio where your Mii competes in Olympic Challenges by Mario or Sonic Characters (depending on whose gym you choose) while in the Wii U version your Mii competes in Tournaments to earn Medals and there's also a Mode called Heroes Showdown in which the Mario and Sonic characters compete against each in serious competition. |

Limited Animation |
| | Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (Video Game) / int_e034faef |
comment |
Limited Animation: the 2D events in Tokyo 2020 deliberately reuse character sprites from Super Mario Bros. for the Mario cast and the classic Sonic trilogy for the Sonic cast (each taking their sprites from one game each) with no custom frames created specifically for the game. The result is the Mario characters (and Eggman) being relatively limited in the range of animations they can perform. Bowser and Peach get hit with this the worst, as the former only has four sprites to use and Peach uses only a single frame of animations (with none of her extra Super Mario Bros. Deluxe sprites making the cut). |

Rivals Team Up: One of the biggest ones ever, only supplanted by Super Smash Bros. Brawl's release. |

Leotard of Power: Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina each get one for the gymnastics events, starting with London 2012. This is Truth in Television for gymnastics (although interestingly, the character models reuse the same costume for the aquatic events as well.) |

Divide and Conquer: Bowser and Dr. Eggman's master plan in Rio 2016's Road To Rio mode. To use the suit fanboys to lure their archfoes away with tricks and crimes, and manipulate the other characters to turn both teams against each other, so they can take over the Olympics unopposed. |

comment |
Mercy Mode: Played with in the DS version of Winter Games, in which you can earn tickets in the Adventure Mode that you can spend to skip a difficult mission. Played more straight in Tokyo 2020, where if you fail a mission 3 times, you can skip it. However, you'll still need to earn that green checkmark. |

Game Within a Game: One in Tokyo 2020 based on the Tokyo 1964 Olympics is what kickstarts the plot. |

Artistic License – Physics: Some of the dream events stretch the laws of physics, such as the Dream Long Jump in the DS version of the first game. |

Go-Karting with Bowser: And Dr. Eggman. And later Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic, and eventually, Zavok, Zazz, Eggman Nega, and four of the seven Koopalings. |

Shown Their Work: Shy Guy's quizzes in London Party will really dig deep in Mario and Sonic trivia, even into the most obscure places. Including the Sonic hedgehog gene. Sonic, who has an infamous weakness in water, always has a life jacket on in swimming events. It also falls under Furry Reminder, but Vector swims exactly like a real crocodile. Rosalina normally wears purple nail polish, but in Rio 2016 her nails are unpainted (best seen in her official render◊.) Real Life gymnasts are, in fact, discouraged from painting their nails, so as not to potentially distract the judges. |
