It’s great fun, with lots of London landmarks to see, as well as trivia questions to answer between events and lots of unlockable items to collect. What pushes this third Mario & Sonic Olympic title over the finish line for us is the London Party mode, which is a Mario Party-style board game experience with the sports events as mini-games. It featured lots more sports-themed, competitive events which see players waggling their Wii remotes like there’s no tomorrow! They then teamed up again in this entry, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Though it’s now happened countless times, it was a surprising and exciting development when the two characters first made a crossover appearance in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games back in 2007.
He was seen as cooler, edgier and, of course, much faster.Įven though Sega’s Dreamcast (which was a very underrated machine – as you’ll see from our best Dreamcast games list) was their last home console before they switched to being a software only company, I’m not sure anyone believed that we’d ever see Sonic share the limelight with Mario by teaming up with him in the same game. Sonic was created as Sega’s answer to Mario, way back in 1991. Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (2011) Definitely worthy of a place on the best Mario games on Nintendo Wii list! 9. It’s a creative, fun and ultimately very competitive experience. The sports feature environments and even hazards that’ll be familiar to players who know the Mario franchise well.
Players can choose to play either one-off quick matches or tournaments, with plenty of unlockables to uncover as you play through the longer tournaments. This focus on multiplayer gives it an almost Mario Party-esque feel, which is reinforced by the sports-themed minigames that also feature. Instead of being a collection of motion-controlled simulations of sports, Mario Sports Mix is a collection of four team sports given a lick of Mario-esque paint: basketball, volleyball, hockey and dodge ball. To its credit, Mario Sports Mix doesn’t even try. Though the Wii is closely associated with Wii Sports, no other sports game – not even pseudo-sequel Wii Sports Resort – came close to having the impact of the game that was packed-in as a freebie for new Wii owners back in the day.
