Definitely the weakest out of the Olympic games I've played but still a good game. I can tell they wanted to utilise the gamepad but it just falls short here as most of it boils down to "tilt the gamepad!" or "swipe the screen!!" and it's not very interesting. The controls on some minigames are also super annoying.

I really like the roster for this game, it covers pretty much most of the important characters you'd wanna see. I also really like the locations of the dream events like Green Hill Zone, Delfino Plaza, Sweet Mountain and even Speed Highway.

As for the minigames, most of my favourites are dream events. Most games are fun, but then you have ones like Curling, Hole-in-one curling and the stupid Winter Sports Champion Race.

Winter Sports Champion Race is the final boss in Legends Showdown, the game's main campaign. There are 6 areas, and the first 5 pair you up with a group of 2 Mario and 2 Sonic Characters while you compete in 4 events with a boss at the end. It's a super short campaign but it's good for the most part. The final boss however is absolute horseshit. You face off against Rouge, Dry Bowser, Eggman Nega in a Winter Sports Champion Race while you battle terrible controls all while the opponents just speed boost out of nowhere.

Overall, it's a good game, but it's not great, better off playing the other ones.
60/100
