Worlds collide

Pick from 20 characters from the Super Mario and Sonic series and pit them against each other in an assortment of Olympic events.

Let's meet our competitors:

Mario

The Mushroom Kingdom's energetic hero and everyone's favourite superstar. He stands up to Bowser with his jumping skills and all-around athletic ability.

Sonic

The world's fastest hedgehog. He can be impulsive and impatient, but he is driven by kindness and a strong sense of justice.

Luigi

Mario's younger twin brother. He's a little timid (especially around ghosts) but is kind and just as capable as his brother.

Tails

A kind, twin-tailed fox kit. He can spin his tails to fly through the air, and his engineering talent helps Sonic on his adventures.

Peach

The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She has a close bond with Mario and is unfailingly kind.

Knuckles

A powerful echidna who lives on Angel Island as the lone guardian of the Master Emerald.

Daisy

The princess of Sarasaland. She is cheerful, active, and always full of energy.

Amy Rose

A hedgehog who is a real go-getter and lights up the room when she's around. She's quite strong-minded, and won't hesitate at taking on evil with her trusty hammer.

Bowser

The Koopa King's strength, fire breath, and large army of Goombas, Koopa Troopas and more make him a constant threat to world peace.

Dr. Eggman

A self-proclaimed evil scientist and mechanical genius with an IQ of 300. He never gives up on his plans to take over the world.

Wario

There's never a dull moment with Wario, a loud, brash fellow who says he's Mario's greatest rival. He loves garlic and money.

Shadow

A black hedgehog known as the ultimate life form. Created with an immortal body, he wields Chaos Emeralds to warp space and time.

Waluigi

Wario's pal who thinks he's Luigi's rival. His gangly arms and legs make him a fierce competitor in all manner of sports.

Silver

A hedgehog from a devastated future. Always looking ahead and possessing a strong sense of justice, he can wield powerful psychokinesis.

Yoshi

Mario's kind, chill ally from Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's long tongue lets them gobble up fruit and foe alike and turn them into eggs.

Metal Sonic

A high-performance robot built by Dr. Eggman to mimic Sonic. He has Sonic's speed and power, and serves as Eggman's obedient henchman.

Donkey Kong

King of the jungle and superstar of the Kong Family. He's so strong, it isn't funny. He'd do anything for a banana or ten.

Blaze

A princess from another world who uses the Sol Emeralds she protects. Cool-headed and hard on herself, she's still a little shy.

Bowser Jr.

The Koopa King's little boy. He might be small, but he's got all of Papa's strength and selfishness. Wears a mask with a big mouth on it.

Vector

The head of the Chaotix Detective Agency. He has a sharp mind and a sharp tongue, but is also an optimist with a compassionate heart.
