Game Overview

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games on Nintendo DS brings together characters from the Mushroom Kingdom and the Sonic universe for a fast-paced celebration of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. Designed specifically for handheld play, this version focuses on quick events, stylus-driven controls, and an original story mode that has you traveling across icy hubs to restore the spirit of the Winter Games.

You can compete in authentic Olympic disciplines like skiing, snowboarding, bobsleigh, figure skating, and ice hockey, alongside over-the-top Dream Events that remix familiar Mario and Sonic locations with wild twists and power-ups. Each character has unique stats and special abilities, encouraging experimentation with different teams and playstyles whether you prefer speed-focused hedgehogs or all-around heroes.

Beyond standard cups and missions, the DS version features RPG-style progression where you explore, talk to characters, and tackle challenges to unlock new events, costumes, and music. Local multiplayer lets up to four players race and battle through selected events using a single game card or multiple copies, making it a strong party title on the go for fans of both Mario and Sonic.
