Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games - Nintendo 3DS Standard Edition

I'm going to review this game as I believe it deserves a nod. I'm familiar with Mario , sonic Olympic Games. This one is not much different. I found it to quite enjoyable despite that. I love the atmosphere this game gives. If it's not the game that will get you, it'll be the bright colours and wonderful samba that will! I find I'm staying in the menu screens or idle in game as I love the music!You can jump in and play any game without unlocking it. The game uses a wonderful balance of button, gyro, and stylus games. If you've only played the winter versions , there is a lot more in the summer ones. Characters are a plenty but are selective for specific events which can deter some people but if you just want to enjoy the games and atmosphere it's not a big deal.Games are fun , simple to grasp and are involved and provide fun challenges. You'll wanna go back and beat your score or try and get first. You can unlock achievements which you need to complete all three in a set to get one token towards prizes. You can upload your scores online for each of the events and see how you rank worldwide.Beautiful all around. if you want a basic, easy to pick up, colourful Mario sports game. you gotta try this one. Wait for a price drop though if you aren't willing to pay full price.ModesSingle PlayerYou can play the game alone in story mode. You pick a team Sonic or Mario to compete with as your mii. You can take part in a seven day run of. Not entirely in depth but a lot to do if you train and rank up your mii to be able to unlock all the clothes and then compete.VersusNo online bummer but you can play with others via download play for free as long as they have a 3DS of their own. up to 3 others.Pocket MarathonIf You can take your 3DS with you, the steps it counts can be added to the distance you run and unlock rewards. You get awards for logging into it once a day. based on running tracks in Rio!Quick playYou can play any game event plus , plus events basically Olympic Games but Mario themed.

I love this game! I love the events and the different characters you can play as. The ones who really surprised me were Dry Bowser and Rosalina (I call her "Rosie" as a nickname). It's a good game.

Good game, out of the previous Olympic games for the DS I feel this one has the best single player mode. Plus the marathon mini game that uses the steps you use is pretty cool.

Game doesn't work. Contacts are eroded. Pretty devastated kiddo for Christmas. Not sure how that happens in a sealed package but game was bad. Would not recommend.

It was in good quality

Didn’t even come with the case.

My son loves these games and wanted it for his birthday. Very satisfied with the product.

Purchased this for my Daughter's Birthday. She loves all the Mario and Sonic Games. Keeps her entertained on the road when we travel. Came in a timely manner.
