I once had a dream to get every gold medal with every character. But once I did that for like 2 characters, I realized this would be more tedious than I thought, so I gave up.
This game blew my mind when I first played through it. This was such a good game for many reasons and the character lineup was crazy for its time. I feel like this game specifically will be able to stand the test of time as one of the best sport/party games of all time, or at least for Nintendo.

Would you look at this, it's another minigame collection on the Wii. This one has the distinction of being the first real crossover game for Mario and Sonic, which at the time was a big deal. You could tell that it was a big deal too since most of the minigames here play well.
Each minigame, or event since they are all based on Olympic events, is designed well and can be replayed quite easily. Whether to beat friends or to beat a high score, so there is something here to bite into. There are even a couple of Deam Events, which are remixed versions of the available events that utilize aspects of Sonic or Mario's worlds. All of these are cool in concept.
The issue is that there are very few minigames to play, and most of these are very simple and can be completed in a matter of seconds if you do it right. The game tries to extend this time by using circuits as you would see in Mario Kart, but it just shows off the repetitiveness and tediousness of the games more.
At the very least, the game looks nice and does a good job of representing each series well. As the first game in the franchise, it needs more work done, but it is ok as is. Nothing memorable but not offensive either.

This was a neat idea back before they ran it into the ground by making one for every Olympics. It's just a minigame collection, but not a bad one and trying to beat the world records can be surprisingly addictive (although the difficulty of doing so very wildly between events).
Do you think there’s a possibility that Cream is secretly not cool with Vector having a crush on her mom, and this is the main reason she applied to be a referee in the Olympics?
or am I just thinking too hard about the logistics of a 6-year-old cartoon rabbit being handed a gun for athletic events—

Received this game as a gift from my mother, who found it in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Played a few times with my brother, but never found it engaging enough to keep coming back to. I will not be returning to this game.
me and laurie had too much fun
world peace
I KIND OF LIVE FOR IT EVERYONE CAN PIPE DOWN
This was a banger back in the day.
First few olympic games were solid. After like 2016....eh.
Actually amazing how bad this is compared to the 2010 & 2012 Olympics
shit banged
an absolute masterpiece of a video game. while at first glance the mini-games are bland and uninspired, with the context of the rest of the trilogy, one can fully appreciate what this game accomplished. the first chapter in a story and one of the games of all time.
This is gold in disk form.
Loved it as a kid, came back to it yeaaars later scared I was nostalgia blinded but this holds up to me today man, lot of simple enjoyment and still has great graphics and UI even with it's age
Me lesione el hombro con el minijuego de lanzamiento de martillo.
El casi mejor (un poco por debajo del de Londres) juego de Mario & Sonic

not as good as the winter games one :P
also p fun when we were kids. def got sore wrists from one of the swimming events?
Just your usual sports minigame kind of game, from what I remember.
two of the biggest gaming franchises of all time and all that they could come up with was the triple jump
j'ai cassé une manette
I believe this was actually the first Wii game I ever got, it was a present from one of my aunts.
It's funny because when I got this game, I was familiar with Mario and vaguely familiar with Sonic because of Sonic Riders, but I didn't know this was supposed to be a crossover and a big deal.
And...I guess it really isn't a big deal, because instead of an actual crossover this is what we got. It's fine, I don't really care that it is just a minigame collection, but this is one of the weaker ones.
I think this series would work a lot better if all of the events had a Mario or Sonic twist, like Mario does with his own sports games. Instead, only the dream events work like this, which is a letdown.
It's a fine game, but I don't think I will replay it over any of the other ones that came after.

Not the best party game ever. Not that interesting of an idea for a Mario & Sonic crossover either. Doesn't utilize either IP that well. But it's competent in its own way I guess
Imagine how demoralizing it was for kids in the 2000s, pining for an official Mario & Sonic crossover game, only to get a glorified advertisement for the Beijing Olympic Games.
I played this for a bit, thought the concept was real cool and loved that there were so many characters from both franchises to play as, but all the events are so watered-down, I feel like I'm playing a demo reel of a bunch of failed Next Level Games failures. Oh, and the controls sucked, this was before Wii Motion PLUS.
When i was a kid i skydived as bowser on this game and that unironically broke my wii. Other than that though pretty good
When I dreamt about Mario and Sonic doing a crossover that would be legendary, this isn't exactly what I had in my mind.
Regardless, it exists and honestly, it's decent. Despite the weird idea of Mario, Sonic, and their friends competing in the Olympic Games, it's admittedly a fun concept. But the concept of them being in a fighting game definitely would've been better. (Yes, I know we got Super Smash Bros Brawl a year later, but still.) In terms of enjoyment, I've only played this game whenever my family wanted to or if I was bored. It's just the mere fact this game is an Olympic Games simulator instead of a fighting game that doesn't really give me much incentive to dedicate a lot of time on it. With that, it's more like a "one-and-done" kind of game. I didn't even play the sequels just from pure disinterest.
It's not a bad game by any means and some of the sports are fun, but I never see myself actively replaying it.

É um jogo Party ruim, o minigame da corrida é legal, no entanto.
Imagine você, finalmente presenciando um cross-over do Mario e do Sonic, empolgadíssimo, você vai lá e compra esse jogo, só pra depois descobrir um monte de minigame horroroso.
