'''''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''''' is a [[Genre#Sports|sports]] game for the [[Wii]] with a [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version of the game]] released as well. Both games are a follow-up to ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. The game is produced under license from the {{wp|International Olympic Committee}} in relation to the Olympic Winter Games taking place at [[Vancouver]] in 2010.
 
Like the previous installment, this game is a collaboration between [[Sega]] and [[Nintendo]] featuring characters from both the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise and the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series. 

Although Sega was handling most of the development for both versions of this game, as it did for the original ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'', they were also handling publishing/marketing duties for all territories outside of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan while Nintendo has done publishing/marketing duties for Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan themselves.
==About==
The Wii version employs the Wii Remote controls, as well as the Wii Balance Board. The game features a Festival mode where the player starts from the opening to the closing ceremony. In the Festival mode, the player can choose to play an individual festival, where the player faces off against 7 other CPU characters, or a team festival, where the player can choose three other teammates to play.

New to the game is a marketplace that allows the player to purchase various items such as clothes and accessories for the player's [[Mii]], tunes from both series, and customizable snowboards. Players can purchase these items using Star Tokens, which earn based on their performance. Also, the gallery for Olympic trivia has now been replaced with the Library.

Also, all authentic (real-life based [[event]]s) are unlocked from the start. Dream Events are in this game and all of them (excluding 2) need to be unlocked.

The aforementioned Festival Mode, is a special adventure mode where the participants must compete with some boss characters from the ''Mario'' and ''Sonic'' series in various events.<ref>[http://www.gamekult.com/video/9495613/ Sega's Official Europe Festival]</ref> Both the DS and the Wii versions take place in a place known as [[Christmas Village]].

Playable character costumes are unlockable by getting 1st in five events as the character. The player can buy equipment through the store in the game and unlike ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', the Miis' stats gets altered depending on the equipment they wear.

|align="left"|"''Sega has truly listened to the feedback about the first game and slimmed down the waggle controls, beefed up the lastability with a ton of extra content and managed to turn even the seemingly dull events of Curling and Figure Skating into engaging and varied games. With over twenty characters, twenty-five events and hundreds of unlockable items, you'll be playing this game well into the New Year, and the added subtlety of the controls makes playing it a far less tiring experience. It may not have the control genius of Wii Sports Resort but it's every bit as good in terms of content, presentation and pure, distilled fun.''"

|align="left"|''"Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics is, at the end of the day, a huge party playing host to two most loved franchises and that's what it was designed for. It may be incredibly simple to work through the single player mode, but entertaining friends or family is where the package really shines through. Whilst it may be as accessible as Nintendo's Wii Sports, it may not be for everyone. The simplistic controls and gameplay might be a tad off-putting for those having a resume of gaming skills, but for the masses Winter Olympics are a solid package that can heat up a living room with fierce competition.''"

But it's a fun, polished party game with broad appeal, and a marked improvement over the previous one. Let's just hope the next installment has a bit more depth. And is called Mario & Sonic of War, obviously.''"

==Trivia==
*An app based on this game was released for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, but only features ''Sonic'' characters and thus is named simply ''{{wp|Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}''. This game has since been removed from the App Store.
*This is currently the only game in the series to be released on both consoles on the same day (except Japan and South Korea).
