To train for the main events, the player must play a selection of events from the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. After playing a certain amount of rounds, the player will challenge a tower stage and then progress onto a new area. The mode will be divided into two sections, accessed by joining the respective gyms: Mario's Story and Sonic's Story, with a special ending for completing both. Each section will be divided into 7 days with one main event happening on each day.

The game will also have a challenge mode similar to the Super Smash Bros. games and Kid Icarus: Uprising.[2]
