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.
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.
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.
