playing the dream minigames with my siblings via ds download play was fun

nice mini-game collection backed by a generally fun story mode

why do i remember the ds one distinctly

This is the best installment in the series, with a great story mode, great extra games, and the olympic events are fun.


The adventure mode was actually quite fun, and so are the Olympic events for that matter. Way more memorable than it's Wii counterpart.

the story mode in this game was really fun for some reason?

Acording to my 3DS activity log, ive been playing this game for over 17 hours and all i’ve really done is the adventure mode. WHY IS ADVENTURE MODE THAT LONG ON THIS GAME?? All together, I like it, even if the map is insanely confusing at times and I wish it wasn't in fictional frostyland or whatever and was in actual Vancouver, like Tokyo 2020. The amount of trivia and Olympic memorabilia facts is staggering. The amount of events alone in this game is pretty overwhelming honestly. But I got to the end of the game, and the part where Eggman and Bowser challenge you to 3 events in a row, they just completely cheat at Hockey, its litterly impossible and i'm not waisting anymore time reseting my DS to win. Maybe one day ill go back and beat them, and collect all the memorabilia, but for now 17 hours of this game is good with me.

The story mode in this game is shockingly really fun and interesting from what I remember. Worth a play at least once.

What the hell did they take to make such a good story mode in a game about tHE OLYMPICS

Mario and Sonic go to Canada to take on the world's second most corrupt sports organization, the International Olympic Committee! The DS versions of the Olympic minigames are mostly worse than the Wii ones, but this game surprisingly has a decent story mode, and the dream events like Snowboarding and Bobsled are a blast!

I distinctly remember going to buy this at the local Walmart in 2009 along with a copy of Sonic Unleashed on the ps2. The woman at checkout scanned the ps2 game and even offered a warranty on the disk.
Unfortunately, she forgot to scan Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.

It was just OK even for a free game. Not fun enough to potentially lose a job over.

The figure skating portion was pretty fun though.

This game has nothing going for it, except for one thing... Its story mode... Idk what is it about the story mode in this game, but it was so nice to play every mission available, progress through every world, unlock new characters, it even spreads winter olympics facts here and there. A magic game.

Notable for being a game where Sonic & Mario actually interact, which was like a historic event at the time.

Except that the gameplay itself was fairly mid.

7/10 overall.

Has a fun few mini games, especially the snowboarding and bobsleigh. If you like those though mario kart is a better option.

i hate the olympics but at least i can play as silver and blaze

In certain situations, it seems like DS developers try a bit harder than their console counterparts. In this situation, I'm not sure whether it was to accommodate for the inferior hardware or simply to make the game stand out in order to justify buying it a second time. Whatever the case may be, they definitely did well to add quite a bit of content via story mode and minigames. Not the worst title in the series by a long-shot.

How could I possibly dislike a game where I can figure skate with Shadow the Hedgehog

How did this M&S Olympic game end up having an amazing story mode? Original story, explorable land, enjoyable minigames, and bonus collectibles? Sometimes I forget this is an M&S Olympic game.

An amazing game unironically and has a story mode that is actually really fun and has nice interactions between characters, definitely recommend.

This game had a really good story mode for some reason???

I played as Shadow and balled out

huge improvement over the first one in pretty much every way


Story mode is surprisingly good! This game won't blow your mind, but it's a good time tbh.

it’s realistically not anything special, but it’s the exact kind of lame b grade adventure mode that i really like! some really fun mini games with a dumb silly story that had some neat little mini games and puzzies!

i remember this game having a weird puzzle story mode i got stuck on
