The '''{{wp|London Stadium|Main Stadium}}''' (referred to as the '''Olympic Stadium''' in the [[Wii]] version of the game), is a location in both versions of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''. The stadium appears as the venue for all of the [[Athletics]] [[Event]]s in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|version]] game, and all athletics events except for [[Marathon]] and [[20km Race Walk]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]]. In the Wii version, as well as appearing as the venue for the Athletics events, the stadium also appears in the game's opening, as well as serving as the background of the single match mode and records menus. In the Nintendo 3DS version, the stadium serves a much larger role. Unlike the Wii version, where the awards ceremonies take place in the events' respective venues, the ceremonies all instead take place in the Main Stadium at night, and it also appears as the background for the game's main menu. The all of the box at for Nintendo 3DS version of the game except for the British one also feature the stadium in the background.

The Main Stadium also appears as one of the locations visited in the 3DS game's Story Mode. It first appears in The Night Before, where several [[Toad (species)|Toads]] and [[Omochao]] are preparing the stadium for the Olympic Games' opening ceremony when the blue [[Phantasmal Fog]] first settles, scaring away most of the organizers. [[Toad]] is separated from [[Omochao]] and scared by a pair of [[Mario]] and [[Sonic]] [[imposter]]s, which is observed by [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]] from his lab in [[Big Ben]]. The episode [[Stadium Blues]] takes place in the Main Stadium the next day, when Toad encounters Mario and [[Luigi]] and tells them what happened the previous night, before they defeat a pair of Sonic and [[Tails]] imposters and go on to investigate the fog further after receiving some more information from Omochao. In [[Foggy Foes]], the group find [[Dry Bones]] and [[Dry Bowser]] in the stadium protecting a [[fog machine]], and after defeating them destroy the fog machine, clearing the fog away and causing Dry Bones and Dry Bowser to leave. After noticing fog at [[Hyde Park]], Mario, Luigi and Toad head off while Omochao remains at the stadium. In Clear Skies Again, the groups that had split off to clear up the fog around London meet back up at the Main Stadium and tell each other how they got on, celebrating the clear skies and deciding to prepare for the opening ceremony to go ahead. In [[A Rainbow In Fog]], the rainbow colored Phantasmal Fog appears at the stadium, producing imposters of Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails that attack [[Cream (character)|Cream]] and [[Cheese (character)|Cheese]]. Mario, Luigi, Sonic and Tails save them from the imposters, and then leave the stadium for [[Stonehenge]] along with Toad and [[Omega]] after he regains some more of his memory. Omochao, Cream and Cheese stay behind and provide Toad with a walkie talkie to stay in contact. Toad and Omega decide to head back to the Main Stadium for safety in [[The Promise to Toad]], and call the group in Big Ben from there in [[The Grand Showdown]], telling them that they alonng with Omochao, [[Charmy]] and [[Espio]] cleared away the fog from the Main Stadium and around the rest of London with help from the other groups. Once Bowser and Dr. Eggman are defeated, Toad calls again from the Main Stadium, telling them that they can register for the games by coming to the Main Stadium, and at the end of the episode the opening ceremony is held there. The Main Stadium also appears as the setting of the bonus episode [[Junior Triumphant!]], where [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Goomba]] arrive and watch [[Metal Sonic]] train with Dr. Eggman. Bowser Jr. convinces Dr. Eggman to let him challenge Metal Sonic, which he agrees to, and after winning gets Dr. Eggman to tell Bowser how well Bowser Jr. did. The final episode that the Main Stadium appears in is [[Stadium Blues]], in which [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] tricks [[Donkey Kong]] into challenging Bowser using a pile of [[banana]]s and a [[Thwomp]]. Bowser arrives with [[Lakitu]] and Goomba and defeats Donkey Kong, before heading to [[ExCeL London]], while Magikoopa and Donkey Kong head off to find some real bananas.
