In the Nintendo 3DS [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|version]], Silver is included in the Challengers group, meaning that he is only playable in certain [[Event]]s. In the Story Mode, Silver first appears with [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]] after defeating some [[imposter]]s, where they ask [[Yoshi]], Sonic and Tails what they know about the [[Phantasmal Fog]] and imposters. He later helps the group chase down [[Jet (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Jet]], and then defeat [[Bowser Jr.]] so that Shadow can destroy the [[fog machine]] and clear the area. Silver later appears calling [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], Sonic and Tails to support them when they face [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]], and also appearing at the opening ceremony. In the bonus episodes, Silver appears with Shadow facing some of Dr. Eggman's robots, but after Bowser Jr. defeats them both himself, they challenge him to an Olympic event instead.
