In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, players compete in events that take
place in environments based on the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic
Games. Using a supporting cast of characters from the amazing worlds of
both Mario and Sonic, gamers can compete as or against a range of lovable
personalities including Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more.
Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver a favourite
character allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m
track, engage in exhilarating rallies in table tennis and churn water in a
swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after gold medal.
