Rouge makes an appearance as a boss in the Festival mode of the [[Figure Skating (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Wii)|Figure Skating]] event in the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]]. In single player mode, Rouge appears after the player trains in Figure Skating and challenges them with a high score to beat. In Co-op Festival mode, Rouge appears right before the halfway point of the festival with the same challenge. It is said by Toad and Cream that her performance is amazing and without a single mistake. Rouge also appears as a [[Mii]] costume in the shop for 300 star points, increasing the player's Skill points greatly.
 
In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], Rouge is first seen in the area past the mechanical gate that [[Tails]] is required to fix in [[Frostown]]. When approached, Rouge is in deep thought as to the whereabouts of [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]], and does not seem concerned with the stolen Olympic memorabilia. Later on in [[Cubyrinth]], Shadow mentions seeing a flying treasure hunter and accepts to join the team in case any troubles might arise with the hunter (who is really Rouge).
 
Mario and Sonic make a deal with Rouge to exchange Whitestones with her for Olympic memorabilia; each piece is worth three Whitestones. Shadow, or anyone else who the player chooses, faces off against her when [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]] bribe her with a ton of Whitestones to defeat the player in Figure Skating, tricking her. She accepts, unaware that it is a trick, but when defeated, she aids the player and helps free [[Blizza]]. While this is happening, Eggman and Bowser capture [[Frosty]], but Rouge quickly pursues them. When talked to afterward in [[Frostown]], [[Cubyrinth]], or [[Sparkleton]] if the player is at that point already, Rouge apologizes for letting her greed get the better of her and mentions how Bowser and Eggman gave her the slip.
 
From then on, Rouge continues the Whitestones dealings and continues from town to town searching for memorabilia.
