Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Cream appears as a referee in both versions of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In the Wii version, Cream appears in the opening refereeing the 100m, Table Tennis and Hammer Throw. In the Nintendo DS version, Cream appears as a referee for the Sonic characters in Long Jump, Triple Jump, Javelin Throw, 10m Platform, Trampoline and Vault, as well as a referee for all characters in Individual epée and Dream Fencing.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
In the next installment, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Cream reprises her role as a referee in the events. Cream also appears as one of the scorekeepers of the Festival Mode along with Toad. In this mode, she and Toad serve as the main hosts and announce the day's events; they can be seen cheering for the player throughout.

In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Cream appears in the story mode beside a locked chest. After some recommendation of talking to her by Toad, Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog can speak to her and obtain a new type of gear from opening the chest she was struggling with. Due to her polite nature, she is content with giving the obtained item to Mario and Sonic for their adventure. In the ending, an unlockable photo of her alongside Toad and many of the other hosts can be obtained.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
In the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Cream appears as a referee in several Events and also hosts the London Party mode alongside Toad and Cheese. She also appears as a character that can be spoken to in London Party mode in order to play various minigames and earn stickers. A suit based on her can be unlocked and be worn by the player's Mii, and Cream will also occasionally send the player mail.

In the Nintendo 3DS version, Cream appears in the Story Mode episode A Rainbow In Fog, where she and Cheese are attacked by a group of imposters and are saved by Mario, Luigi, Toad, Sonic, Tails and Omochao, who explain to them what is happening before defeating the imposters. After the imposters are defeated, Cream thanks the group for their help and decide to stay behind at the Main Stadium, with Cream later appearing at the opening ceremony. A badge of Cream can also be obtained from the badge machine.
