|9/10
|align="left"|"''Sega has truly listened to the feedback about the first game and slimmed down the waggle controls, beefed up the lastability with a ton of extra content and managed to turn even the seemingly dull events of Curling and Figure Skating into engaging and varied games. With over twenty characters, twenty-five events and hundreds of unlockable items, you'll be playing this game well into the New Year, and the added subtlety of the controls makes playing it a far less tiring experience. It may not have the control genius of Wii Sports Resort but it's every bit as good in terms of content, presentation and pure, distilled fun.''"

|align="left"|''"Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics is, at the end of the day, a huge party playing host to two most loved franchises and that's what it was designed for. It may be incredibly simple to work through the single player mode, but entertaining friends or family is where the package really shines through. Whilst it may be as accessible as Nintendo's Wii Sports, it may not be for everyone. The simplistic controls and gameplay might be a tad off-putting for those having a resume of gaming skills, but for the masses Winter Olympics are a solid package that can heat up a living room with fierce competition.''"

But it's a fun, polished party game with broad appeal, and a marked improvement over the previous one. Let's just hope the next installment has a bit more depth. And is called Mario & Sonic of War, obviously.''"

Amy told him that a mission's a mission and its Alpine Skiing GS. Toad told her that it'd be easy if she can show Big by trying the mission. After completing the mission, Big was paying attention while Amy is skiing. He gave Amy a [[Spark Luge]] to thank her and he found it while he was fishing.

At Cubyrinth, there's a lever and Toad doesn't know that what the lever is for. He thinks that it opens the floor in the middle. Knuckles is going to move the lever. After he pulls the lever, everyone falls down from Cubyrinth to Polastraits. Toad doesn't know that they're at Polastraits because he can hear the ocean and there is a big ice blocking the way so everyone is trap surrounded by the ice and ocean including [[Penguin]]. Knuckles can crack the big piece of ice. Help Knuckles [[Break The Ice]] in 45 seconds. After breaking the ice, Toad thinks that everyone can go thru the big hole of ice.
 
At Icepeak, Toad thinks that Knuckles can punch the ice cubes but he's worried that the cave might collapse.

Shadow is found at Cubyrinth but Toad thinks that he's Sonic and Shadow introduces the people who doesn't know him except his SEGA friends. He wants anyone to challenge him on Ski Cross Racing. After defeating Shadow, he spotted a flying Treasure Hunter on the way there. Toad thinks that Shadow is talking about Rouge. Mario and Sonic wants Shadow to joins the team. He doesn't want anyone alone with Rouge. He can use his [[Chaos Spear]] to attack something (just like Amy when she is going to use her Piko Piko Hammer to attack something).
 
Back at Frostown with Rouge, Rouge tells Shadow that where was he. Shadow tells her that he's been at Cubyrinth looking for her. Shadow tells Rouge that is she the treasure hunter. Rouge told him that she is going to be a Whitestone Hunter.
 
At Sparkleton, there's another gate and pictures in tracks instead of panel and that'll be a job for Shadow. He can use his Chaos Spear to stop the pictures in their tracks. [[Shy Guy]] knows the picture in order but he forgot because he doesn't know where did he put it. After looking for the order of pictures, Toad thinks that the gate can open if Shadow line the pictures in the right order. Help Shadow to stop the pictures in the right order in 40 seconds. After stopping the pictures, the gate finally opened.
 
At Icepeak with Rouge, [[Bowser]], and [[Dr. Eggman]], Shadow told her that he and Rouge had an agreement to search for whitestones together.

After beating Rouge, Shadow can count on Rouge about that she's glad we're able to free the snow spirit.
 
===Blaze and Silver's Story===
Right after the gang defeat King Boo, Toad encounters [[Silver the Hedgehog]] and [[Blaze the Cat]] near a mission sign. The duo explains to Toad how they escaped and came to Polastraits. They tell Mario and Sonic they're going to join the team when they lose to them in a match of [[Ice Hockey]] when they get 1 point in the beginning. 
 
However, devastated that they lost, they magically disappear. Toad is surprised about what happened. Later in Cubyrinth, Mario, Sonic and Toad encounter some strange Robo Balls at the beginning of the maze. Toad suggests they need to find Silver and Blaze again. Later in the same place, they find them again. Silver tells the trio that he and Blaze are sorry that they disappeared. Then he challenges the gang to a match of [[Fever Hockey]] when they receive 30 points in the beginning. Once the gang defeats the duo, they officially joins the group.
 
Toad then tells Silver about the robo balls. Silver helps the gang by stopping the Robo Balls with his physic powers  within 15 seconds. He is later required to get Donkey Kong on the team in Icepeak. In the same location, Toad encounters a strange room with 4 blocks with the marks of Bowser, Eggman, Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic. Blaze tells Toad that she will help them with the blocks in the correct places within 45 seconds. afterwards, a gate opens, leading the gang to a treasure chest with a Leader's Curling Stone inside. Later in Blizland, she is required to get Daisy to join the team.
 
===Donkey Kong's Story===
When Mario, Sonic and Toad encounter a mysterious pole with a button on the top in [[Polastraits]], Toad says that they need to look for a character who climbs a lot. Later in Icepeak, they find Donkey Kong crying due to one of his bananas fell in a deep ledge and he can't reach it. Silver then comes out and uses his physic powers to get the banana back to him. Donkey Kongs tells Silver thank you and challenges him to [[Moguls]] in order to join the party. When Silver finally defeats him, he joins the party.
 
Toad tells him that there's a pole back in Polastraits. There are also obstacles on the pole, such as ice and bombs. When the ape presses the button on the pole, in their amazement, a bridge forms. Later in Icepeak, Donkey Kong tells Vector that what's with the headphones. Vector tells him that he likes music in his own band. After beating Vector, Donkey Kong wants him to join the party.
 
===Vector's Story===
In [[Cubyrinth]], Vector the Crocodile is mentioned by [[Charmy]] when [[Mario]], [[Sonic]], and [[Toad]] run into him when the bee refused to let the trio get pass him. Toad then tells Charmy they will let him know when they see Vector.
 
Later in [[Icepeak]], Vector is seen next to a mission sign and he knows Mario and doesn't know that if Sonic is with him. He tells the trio he will join the group if [[Donkey Kong]] defeats the music-loving crocodile in a match of [[Speed Skating|Short Track 500m]]. Once Donkey Kong defeats Vector, he then joins the party.
 
Toad then tells Vector that Charmy needs to see him back in Cubyrinth. When they arrive in Cubyrinth, Charmy tells Vector in order to open the gate, he must engage in a quiz based on Real and Dream Winter Olympic sports and the islands of the snow spirits. He tells him if he gets 5 questions correct within 45 seconds, he will open the gate and let them through. Vector succeeds, and they go through.
 
Espio is seen when he tells his friend to let him know how many more whitestones are there in [[Sparkleton]], Cubyrinth, and Blizland. When all the whitestones are found in those islands, he gets surprised that there's none left when the player collects all of them.
 
===Daisy's Story===
[[Princess Daisy]] is mentioned when Mario, Sonic, and Toad run into a Chao at Icepeak who when asked about the patch of Freezaleas says he "promised to show them to Princess Daisy". Toad comments on how they should let Daisy know if they run into her.
 
It is later in Blizland that Daisy is found practicing her [[Ultimate Figure Skating]]. When Toad questions whether or not Bowser and Eggman brought her there she mentions, "I was just doing some skating in Blizland, and Bowser and Eggman showed up. They started making a castle and a base, and now look at the place! Talk about an unpleasant surprise!". She then explains how she has been in hiding. When she see's the "entourage" of help Mario has gathered she spots Blaze and they strike up a conversation that leads to Daisy challenging Blaze to a round of Ultimate Figure Skating. The player is required to beat Daisy as Blaze.
 
After Toad mentions the Chao's Freezalea patch in Ice Peak, Daisy joins the group, she tells her friends she wants to go to Icepeak as quick as possible. When they arrive in Icepeak and Daisy is presented the Freezaleas from the Chao, she points out that she saw someone and Chao exclaims, "Kiki's going to destroy the flowers!". A stray Kiki begins wrecking the garden and Daisy is prompted to complete a mini-game to chase the monkey away. Daisy decides to try hitting the monkey with snowballs to stun him. However, Kiki is on the defensive mode by attacking her with snowballs. Afterwards, the Kiki runs away and in the process opens a previously sealed gate.
 
When [[Lakitu]] is encountered in Ice Peak, he mentions to Daisy that it would boost popularity of the missions he's in charge of if she were to compete in them. He also mentions that he will reward her the Meteor Curling Stone if she can complete the missions. The first mission objective is a Short Track event that must be completed in first place with no recovery zones. After completing it, Lakitu informs them to receive the reward, they will have to actually find the second mission and complete it as well.
 
The second mission is found much later in Blizland and it is an [[Intense Short Track]] event. In the event, Daisy is required to reach the goal without falling from the course. Once completed, Lakitu will offically give Daisy the Meteor Curling Stone.
 
===Wario and Waluigi's Story===
Mario and Sonic encounter [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] in Polastraits. The duo tell them they need to defeat them in [[Bobsleigh]] in order to join the team. Once they defeat the duo, enraged, Wario and Waluigi begins to run toward the thin ice, create a hole on it, and then jump into the cold ocean. Toad is surprised to learn about it.
 
Much later in Icepeak, Toad finds Wario and Waluigi again. The duo tells them they were enraged because they lost. So they offer Mario and Sonic to defeat them in [[Snowboard Cross]] or else they will not join the team. Once Mario and Sonic defeat them, they officially join the team.
 
Later in Blizland, they encounter a [[Chain Chomp]] who is blocking the way. Wario decides to perform a Wario Waft to knock it off the platform. Once it gets knocked off the platform, the player proceeds there mission to save the Snow Sprits. Toad later runs into a [[Shy Guy]] to inform Waluigi about the secret location back in Cubyrinth. Once they get transported back there, Waluigi throws Bob-ombs at a Bomb Flapper. Afterwards, a hole forms and they discover a secret place with a lot of Shy Guys.
 
While at Blizland, Waluigi tells Dark Chao that he is stewed because Bowser and Dr. Eggman pulled a fast on him and Wario told him that they offered him food to teach Chao to think with his stomach. Wario guessed not everyone can be smart and good-looking as us. Dark Chao told them that they didn't have to say it. Princess Daisy told Wario & Waluigi to apologize. Stomach that everyone is thinking is Wario.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is a sports game for the Wii with a Nintendo DS version of the game released as well. Both games are a follow-up to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The game is produced under license from the International Olympic Committee in relation to the Olympic Winter Games taking place at Vancouver in 2010.

Like the previous installment, this game is a collaboration between Sega and Nintendo featuring characters from both the Super Mario franchise and the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Although Sega was handling most of the development for both versions of this game, as it did for the original Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, they were also handling publishing/marketing duties for all territories outside of Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan while Nintendo has done publishing/marketing duties for Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan themselves.

About[edit]

The Wii version employs the Wii Remote controls, as well as the Wii Balance Board. The game features a Festival mode where the player starts from the opening to the closing ceremony. In the Festival mode, the player can choose to play an individual festival, where the player faces off against 7 other CPU characters, or a team festival, where the player can choose three other teammates to play.

New to the game is a marketplace that allows the player to purchase various items such as clothes and accessories for the player's Mii, tunes from both series, and customizable snowboards. Players can purchase these items using Star Tokens, which earn based on their performance. Also, the gallery for Olympic trivia has now been replaced with the Library.

Also, all authentic (real-life based events) are unlocked from the start. Dream Events are in this game and all of them (excluding 2) need to be unlocked.

The aforementioned Festival Mode, is a special adventure mode where the participants must compete with some boss characters from the Super Mario and Sonic series in various events.[1] Both the DS and the Wii versions take place in a place known as Christmas Village.

Characters[edit]

All of the characters from the previous game, including Miis for the Wii version, return. There are also four new characters[2] who were not present in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, namely Donkey Kong, Metal Sonic, Bowser Jr., and Silver. Retaining the first game's style, all playable characters are unlocked from the start (including new participants).

Reception[edit]

Reviews
Release Reviewer, Publication Score Comment
Wii James Newton, Nintendo Life 9/10 "Sega has truly listened to the feedback about the first game and slimmed down the waggle controls, beefed up the lastability with a ton of extra content and managed to turn even the seemingly dull events of Curling and Figure Skating into engaging and varied games. With over twenty characters, twenty-five events and hundreds of unlockable items, you'll be playing this game well into the New Year, and the added subtlety of the controls makes playing it a far less tiring experience. It may not have the control genius of Wii Sports Resort but it's every bit as good in terms of content, presentation and pure, distilled fun."
Wii Jorge Ba-oh, Cubed3 7/10 "Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics is, at the end of the day, a huge party playing host to two most loved franchises and that's what it was designed for. It may be incredibly simple to work through the single player mode, but entertaining friends or family is where the package really shines through. Whilst it may be as accessible as Nintendo's Wii Sports, it may not be for everyone. The simplistic controls and gameplay might be a tad off-putting for those having a resume of gaming skills, but for the masses Winter Olympics are a solid package that can heat up a living room with fierce competition."
Wii Ellie Gibson, Eurogamer 8/10 "It's true to say that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is no Mario Kart. But it's a fun, polished party game with broad appeal, and a marked improvement over the previous one. Let's just hope the next installment has a bit more depth. And is called Mario & Sonic of War, obviously."

Although he is uncredited in the game's credits, Scott Burns voices Bowser in this game, which marks the second and last instance in the Mario & Sonic he voices him, as Kenneth W. James would voice him in later installments.

Trivia[edit]

  • An app based on this game was released for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch, but only features Sonic characters and thus is named simply Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. This game has since been removed from the App Store.
  • This is currently the only game in the series to be released on both consoles on the same day (except Japan and South Korea).
