Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is the fifth installment in the Mario & Sonic series of crossover games. The game is set to be released in 2016, coinciding with the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, and is to be released for Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and, in a first for the series, arcades.
Gameplay
Players can compete in various Olympic events as characters from the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises. In this installment, rather than have set normal and dream events, each event now has a "normal" and "Dream" variation. For events, however, in the Nintendo 3DS version only certain characters can compete in certain events.
The Nintendo 3DS version brings back the adventure mode, in which the player's Mii must defeat various characters at events.
The Nintendo 3DS version of the game is known to be compatible with amiibo. Scanning a Mario or Sonic amiibo turns their costumes into Gold Mario and Super Sonic respectively.
