I remember thinking was the most badass concept as a kid, the crossover of legends and opening cinematic honestly lives up to the task in building up the hype. Unfortunately, once you start digging into Mario and Sonic you realize the various Olympic events are rarely fun. Most of them just have you pumping your arms as hard as you can, or hitting simple timing challenges. If you love these characters getting to see the crossover was a fun treat, but they definitely needed more gameplay depth especially to justify a series that has been soldiered on across many titles.
