The minigames in this one are still that nice blend of simplicity and technique, following series tradition. Unfortunately, this game is too lightweight for its own good.

The story is kinda cute, but it's fairly boring in execution and writing. I do really like visiting all of the nicely rendered areas and landmarks. Presentation doesn't disappoint, it's never really been a problem with the Mario and Sonic games.

The real issue I have is how "Dream Events" have mostly been phased out in favor of demake/NES-styled "Tokyo 1964" games. Their simplicity is charming, but it also wears off extremely quickly. It is also extremely weird to see the 16-bit Sonic sprites alongside the entirely 8-bit everything else, it clashes really hard.

All in all, it's an extremely short and lackluster collection of minigames for $60. I'd honestly recommend either the London or Winter Games on the Wii over this one. Much more fanservice and content to sink your teeth into.

Also, Sega. Please stop trying to make "The Deadly Six" be a thing that sticks around. We all want to forget. You don't need to insist on bringing them back. Quit it.
