This article is about Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Wii. For the Nintendo 3DS version of the game, see Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS).

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is a sports title for the Wii with a Nintendo 3DS version of the game released as well. Both games make up the third installment of the Mario & Sonic series. New sports, such as soccer (association football) and equestrian, along with other athletic events, debut in the Wii version. The game takes place in London, home of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

This is the second of two games released outside of Japan and South Korea to feature a different-colored game box, the first being New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The box for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is yellow, as opposed to most other Wii games with a white box.

In Europe, a bundle, titled the Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Limited Edition Pack, was released on the same day as the game itself in the region,^[16] which contained the game, a light blue Wii Family Edition, a Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk with the same color as the console, and a sticker sheet featuring artwork of the playable characters. Unlike regular releases of Wii games, the game is contained in a square, CD-like case.^[17]
