The New Mario & Sonic Olympics Game Lets You Play As 2D Characters

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is kicking it old school. The latest instalment of the all-star mascot competition, due out November for the Switch, adds ten sprite-based 2D events to its normal selection of 3D fare. Look at pixel Mario’s tiny legs go!

I’ve not played any of the games in Sega’s Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series. That might change with the reveal of the classic 2D events included in the latest instalment. It’s 8-bit Mario characters versus 16-bit Sonic and friends in a series of challenges giving off some serious Track and Field vibes.

Ten 2D events are included with the game.

  • 100m

  • 10m Platform (Diving)

  • 400m Hurdles

  • Gymnastics – Vault

  • Judo

  • Kayak Single (K-1) 1000m

  • Long Jump

  • Marathon

  • Shooting – Trap

  • Volleyball

If only the entire game looked like this.
