. Gameplay
Like the previous game in the series which centered around the
2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, Mario & Sonic at the
Olympic Winter Games features player chosen characters from both
the Mario and Sonic game universe, entered into events taken
directly from and inspired by the upcoming 2009 Winter Olympic
Games in Vancouver, Canada. The game features a variety of play
modes, both single player and competitive multiplayer, including
the new mission-based play of the Adventure Tours Mode. In
addition to actual Olympic events players can also participate in
winter-themed mini-games sprinkled throughout the game.
Plenty of Events
Prepare to compete in the Olympic Winter Games with your friends
and family like you never thought possible. The action in Mario &
Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is made up of a combination of
actual Olympic sports and special Dream Events, which are
winter-oriented activities all about fun and that are specific to
this particular game. Just a few of the actual Olympic events
that players can look forward to trying their hand at include:
alpine skiing, snowboard cross, bobsled, figure skating (singles)
and skeleton. Dream events include, but are not limited to:
extreme snowboarding, ski cross racing and fever hockey.
Your Favorite Mario and Sonic Characters
Play as your favorite characters from the world of Mario and
Sonic. All the characters featured in the earlier game, Mario &
Sonic at the Olympic Games, are available as playable characters,
including Luigi, Tails, Yoshi, Knuckles, Princess Peach, Amy
Rose, Bowser, Daisy and many more. Each character comes with
his/her own unique movements and stats, making them better suited
to certain events and less so to others. In addition to the
characters noted above players can look forward to seeing a few
new faces, like Donkey Kong and Metal Sonic.

boss encounters and a chance to save the 2010 Olympic Winter
