User:BBQ Turtle/Olympic Locations

The full list promised as a follow up here, so if you haven't got a clue what I'm on about, take a look at that first. I've sorted this by location type (with Sonic stuff mushed into one at the moment until someone can help me sort it) and I've provided what I think is all of the necessary information to help make decisions. When there is a tick in an "Article?" column, you can click on it to view the current article. Locations in which events do not occur are also listed here for completeness. I believe that more of the venues are named in 2016 3DS, but it's all in the story mode dialogue and that's not a quick thing to go through, so I'll just say not named for now until evidence can definitively be provided for the contrary.

Real-world locations

 * 1 — Name in the Wii version
 * 2 — Name in the 3DS version
 * 3 — Location is featured but not named
 * 4 — Location appears as the area for London Party in Wii version
 * 5 — Name in Wii U version
 * 6 — Name in Arcade Edition
 * 7 — Acts as the hub area in Wii U version

Existing Mario locations
To see the sections on articles that already exist, click on the tick in the column. Other featured locations refers to hybrid locations and will include a list of the other locations used.


 * * — Strangely enough, instead of being covered on the Mario Kart Wii Mario Circuit's page, it's instead covered on the generic one. And unsurprisingly, it's the only Mario Circuit that doesn't have it's own article.

New(?) Mario locations

 * A — I don't think these locations are based on existing ones, but if someone knows something I don't let me know and I can fix this.

Sonic locations
Thanks to some help from Borp, we've been able to identify that Nocturnus Gate is the only made up Sonic location, being loosely based on Nocturne. Given that it's the only made up one and the other locations are real, I don't think it needs a new section.

Mario & Sonic locations
Just so you have an idea as I doubt many people are familiar with every single one of these locations, I've included a venue type, either arena or course. In this context, course just means a larger area that you can move at least relatively freely around and often features obstacles, with a large amount that could be written about the layout, whereas an arena only allows for limited movement and acts as more of a background to the events. These are in no way official terms and some of them kind of blur the lines but it's mainly as a reference point.


 * I — It doesn't appear in a story mode, but does technically appear as an explorable location outside of events.
