Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is a sports game for the Wii and Nintendo DS, and is the follow-up to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The game is produced under license from the International Olympic Committee in relation to the Olympic Winter Games taking place in Vancouver and Whistler[1] in 2010.

Like the previous installment, this game is a collaboration between Sega and Nintendo featuring characters from both the Mario series and the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Although Sega is handling most of the development for both versions of this game (as it did for the original Mario & Sonic), they are also handling publishing/marketing duties for all territories outside of Japan, while Nintendo does publishing/marketing duties for Japan itself.

Versions

The game will feature modes that will be exclusively on the Wii and DS versions.

Wii Version

The Wii version will use the Wii Remote controls, as well as the Wii Balance Board. It will feature a Festival mode where the player starts from the opening to the closing ceremony.

DS Version

The DS version will feature Adventure Tour, a single player mode with a plot that involves Bowser and Dr. Eggman's scheme to melt all the snow by capturing the Snow Spirits. The Adventure Tour introduces a spirit called Frosty.[2][3][4]

Trivia

Peach, Daisy, Amy Rose, and Blaze the Cat hang out together in the opening cinematic.
Blaze, Amy, Peach and Daisy posing for their fans in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. The outfits they wear are exclusive to the entire game.
  • As stated on their respective character articles, the four female participants (Peach, Daisy, Amy and Blaze) wear outfits that correspond with and match the overall theme of the Winter Olypmic events; these outfits they wear are exclusive to the entire game. Peach and Daisy's winter outfits are similar in overall design but still have their obligatory elements that match their unique persona (including overall color scheme, collar, and brooch).
