The player moves the remote in a manner similar to the method the separate games are played in real life; for example, swinging the Wii Remote to replicate or pulling back the remote and tilting the Nunchuk like a and.

While the Nunchuck is required for, it is optional for most of the events. There are also events that are more physically demanding, such as the five running events which require rapid drumming of the controller. Some aspects of the gameplay are computer controlled. For example, in table tennis the player movement is controlled by the Wii, while the swinging of the racket is controlled by the player. The DS game is the same in design, but due to lack of motion controls, its events are much less physically demanding than those on the Wii. For example, instead of drumming the controller, players have to quickly stroke the touchscreen.

Mission mode is a single-player option where each of the competitors has six character-specific missions to complete, although the characters' statistics are not as balanced as in the main game, making missions more difficult. The Wii version's Circuit and Single Match can have an additional one to three players competing simultaneously while its DS counterpart has an extra option dedicated to multiplayer called Versus Play. Versus supports up to four people to use the wireless capabilities of the Nintendo DS to play events.

In relay events, such as the and 4 × 100 metres aquatics relay, players can assemble teams comprising any four characters. Besides these regular events, there are alternate versions of Olympic events called 'Dream Events'. Unlike the regular events, the gameplay in Dream Events is exaggerated.

Development “ The Olympics is about gathering everyone, from young to old, together. And in that spirit, we thought this the best time for Sonic and Mario to be in a game together. ” — The marketing director of Nintendo Europe on why the Olympics were chosen as the first meeting ground for Mario and Sonic, After transited from hardware to in 2001, and Sega developed a closer relationship and worked together on —the first significant video game collaboration between the two. The idea for a crossover game between Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo's Mario characters has been casually discussed between the two companies; the mascots' creators and, respectively, had their private discussions revealed in 2005.

Sonic the Hedgehog is the protagonist of the video game series released by Sega in order to provide the company with a mascot to rival Nintendo's flagship character Mario in the early 1990s. Despite the discussions, the idea was not acted on as it lacked a setting that would give the game 'an exclamation mark'. The idea of an Olympic setting for the mascots originated after Sega was awarded the Beijing 2008 Olympic license approximately a year later. The developer adopted the IOC's mission to promote a sporting spirit and wanted to interest young people in the Olympics with its newly acquired license. The corporation decided to base the sports game around its characters that 'young people love and are very iconic' instead of creating a more realistic simulation. Sega then requested Nintendo for permission to include Mario in the game, setting up the first matchup between their mascots.

Nintendo approved and partnered with Sega to add another layer of quality control to the development. Both companies felt that the competitive sportsmanship of the Olympic Games provided an ideal choice as a setting for the once-rival mascots. Mario & Sonic was officially announced with a joint press release by Sega and Nintendo on March 28, 2007 and premiered. In another showing of the collaboration between the two companies, the game was predominantly developed by the of Sega Japan under the supervision of Shigeru Miyamoto.

He served as senior producer. Sega's Osamu Ohashi and Nintendo's Hiroshi Sato served as producers, Eigo Kasahara as director, and Teruhiko Nakagawa as composer. And according to gaming site, a developer known to avoid crediting itself in its works, helped to develop Mario & Sonic.

The game is officially licensed by the IOC through exclusive licensee ISM and is the first official video game of the. The president of Sega Europe stated that they originally planned a number of events, including, to fully epitomize the Olympics. However, the figure for the final product was reduced and judo was omitted. The development of the game was swifter than planned; in October 2007, Sega announced that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games ' scheduled release date for the Wii has been advanced by two weeks and the game had.

It was released in 2007 in North America on November 6, in Australasia and Japan on November 22, in Europe on November 23, and in Korea on May 29, 2008. The DS version followed in 2008 in Japan on January 17, in North America on January 22, in Australasia on February 7, in Europe on February 8, and in South Korea on June 26. Both versions were published by Nintendo for Japan (where it is known as Mario & Sonic at the Beijing Olympics ( マリオ&ソニック AT 北京オリンピック)) and by Sega for North America, Europe and all other regions.

Reception Sales Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was a commercial success; in the first few months after its release, the game was on four separate occasions the top-selling game in the United Kingdom all-formats chart. It accumulated seven weeks as the number-one seller, including the first two weeks after its release. The Wii version sold a half-million units in the UK during those seven weeks.

By June 2008, both Wii and DS versions reached combined sales of 1.2 million copies in the UK, prompting Sega to create plans on re-marketing the game there. The game went on to sell over two million units combined in the country. According to the, the Wii game was one of the top-ten best-sellers for the month of December 2007 in the United States, selling 613,000 units.

Analyst argued the game is a fitting example of brand awareness' role in determining Wii game sales. The Wii is an exception to the correlation that higher quality games lead to better sales as seen on the and Sony's. Divnich added 'To the casual and social gamer, it didn't matter that the game received sub-70 scores,' the recognizable 'Mario' and 'Sonic' brand names participating in a recognizable action, 'The Olympic Games,' contributed to the game's US sales. As of December 28, 2008, 594,157 units of the Wii version and as of December 27, 2009, 383,655 copies of the Nintendo DS version has been sold in Japan. The Nintendo DS version is the twenty-seventh best-selling game of Japan for 2008. In the same year for Australia, it is the eighth best-selling game while the Wii version is number four.

In July 2008, Simon Jeffrey, president of Sega of America, announced that Sega has sold approximately 10 million units worldwide combined of Mario & Sonic and showed interest in again collaborating with Nintendo to produce another game featuring the two companies' mascots. The game is listed in the 2010 book as the 'Best-selling gaming character cross-over' with 7.09 million on Wii and 4.22 million copies on DS sold.

A common complaint was that Sega and Nintendo failed to set the first matchup between their mascots in the genre that made them famous—. Instead, the two companies threw Mario and Sonic into an Olympic-themed, a move which Tae Kim of criticized as 'a marketing tool' to popularize the XXIX Olympic Games. Although the Wii version of the game was praised for being an entertaining multiplayer experience, it was criticized for shallow gameplay and complex rules and instructions. Concluded that Mario & Sonic's lack of 'polish and simplicity' leaves the improbable grouping of mascots as its main attraction when compared to other party video games released for the platform.

's Aaron Thomas rated the Wii version's motion control scheme as 'uninteresting and occasionally frustrating'. 's agreed, calling the controls 'non-intuitive' and commenting that the minigames required players to 'wave their Wiimotes frantically while pressing several buttons at the same time'. Of mentioned that the controls were complicated for a game that should be a 'pure pick-up-and-play party game'. Tae Kim said the events were 'short and fairly shallow' and mostly required players to move the 'Wii Remote and Nunchuks in specific ways—rapidly up and down for running events, for example'.

Mark Bozon of IGN called Mario & Sonic a success due to the entertainment value derived from the slight variety of competitions offered in the game. However, he and several other critics felt that events within the same classification were similar; Bozon noted that diversity was lacking as 'five or six events felt nearly identical', and Thomas found the gameplay of several events to be overly similar to one another despite the reviewer praising the game for its number of events. Both reviewers favored the more complex objectives found in the fantasy events of the game, which shared attributes with that of the and archery. On the Nintendo DS, Mario & Sonic was regarded as virtually the same game in design as its Wii counterpart; however, opinions on its control scheme varied greatly. 's Gerald Villoria thought the tradeoffs between both versions made them equally enjoyable.

Andrew Fitch of assured readers in his review that the less physically demanding gameplay of the DS version made the game accessible for extended periods of time. Fitch further stated that in nearly 'every case, events were far more enjoyable on the DS' due to the requirement of the human body's finer abilities to control the characters. However, 's Ellie Gibson noted that the lack of physical demand reduced the players' engrossment with the game. Craig Harris of IGN had a similar opinion, stating, 'Rapidly drumming the controllers is far more challenging than quickly stroking the touchscreen.' Harris felt the DS version lost some relevance to its marginally superior Wii counterpart since had a similar design and released almost three months afterwards. Most publications agreed that the Wii counterpart of Mario & Sonic had clean textures and well-done animations; N-Europe's Iun Hockley thought that each character was pleasingly, and Thomas added that the graphics were 'crisp and colorful'.

Mark Bozon preferred the remixed Nintendo and Sega music and thought the general Olympic-related music 'could be a bit generic'. 's Robert Workman called the background music 'mostly forgettable'. Echoing this sentiment for the DS version, Emily Balistrieri of GamePro thought 'most of the music wasn't too interesting'. Compared to the Wii version, the DS version's visuals are of the same style and its graphics are nearly on the same level. Due to the inability to compete against other players online, Harris regarded Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games ' limited use of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on the DS as a 'missed opportunity'. Many reviewers, including Gibson and 's James Orry, found the uploading of best times and scores to be a cumbersome process.

Although the home console version also has online rankings, it lacks direct competition between players. Disappointed with the aforementioned aspect, Bozon rationalized that the leaderboards 'certainly made sense for a game like this'.

Legacy Sonic at the Olympic Games is a Sonic-themed sports game for released in June 2008. Developed by AirPlay and published by Sega, the game features five events based on the Olympic Games starring Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy. Players control one character from a prospective through one-button commands.

The commercial success of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games started a series of Mario & Sonic sport video games to coincide with upcoming and. Sean Ratcliffe, vice president of marketing at Sega of America said, 'I think the key factor that decides the ongoing building of this franchise is basically success. Is the game successful?
