Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

JP Mario & Sonic at the Vancouver Olympics

The follow-up to the hugely successful Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games in 2007. Once again, the game has been officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee, developed by Sega and published by Nintendo in Japan and Sega in the US and Europe.

Characters from Nintendo's Mario and Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog series play through sporting events from the Olympic Winter Games. Some of the events can be controlled using the Wii Balance Board (packaged with Wii Fit), but it is not necessary. The new Festival mode allows the player to play through the entire Olympic Games, from the opening ceremony and every event until reaching the closing ceremony.

All of the Mario and Sonic characters from the first game return, and are joined by Donkey Kong and Silver. You can also use your Mii avatars in the game, and now you can customise their outfits.
