Toad est en personnage jouable car sur le site zone.numérique.com c'est écrit (Les deux mascottes du jeu vidéo ne seront évidemment pas seules, et pourront compter sur leurs fidèles acolytes : Luigi, Peach, Toad, Yoshi ou encore Donkey Kong pour la team Mario, sans oublier Tails, Knuckles ou encore Robotnik pour la team Sonic.

Released date
No for 2015 ? --Captain Yoshi  06:16, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
 * We don't know yet. Crazy8MK8.png King Koopa (talk) MK8 Bowser Icon.png 12:44, 2 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Yes is true, short, we expect the coming months :-) --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 13:02, 11 July 2015 (EDT)


 * It looked from the newest trailer like it'll be released in February next year. CrashBash (talk) 19:41, 12 November 2015 (EST)

Ludwig and Wendy
Ludwig and Wendy have been confirmed for the 3DS version at least. They appear to be playable characters and this may also point to Zazz being playable too. Link: http://nintendoeverything.com/mario-sonic-at-the-rio-2016-olympic-games-3ds-dated-for-japan-trailer/
 * Good call. I think it is safe to say that they are playable. Also, I see Dry Bones participating, could that mean he's playable too? 18:09, 12 November 2015 (EST)
 * Possibly. It was during the cycling event, but I couldn't make out the fourth character.
 * UPDATE: I found an image. It's Wave The Swallow (One of the Babylon Rogues). Link :http://huntertsf.tumblr.com/post/133095161633/while-all-you-losers-are-all-out-here-losing-your

Another trailer

Order of the characters
Since an edit war is actually happening, let's try to recapitulate where the problem lies. At the moment, there are two conflicting criteria in term of listing the playable characters: What order should we follow? And why? Are there other examples or guidelines that we could follow? I think it would be nice to finally clarify these points.--Mister Wu (talk) 23:33, 23 March 2016 (EDT)
 * newcomers put together
 * order of the game


 * Is that really the official order in-game? Is there any evidence to suggest it could be an error? MarioComix (talk) 01:10, 24 March 2016 (EDT)


 * I don't seem to recall we've ever put the official order for other Mario & Sonic games (even taking into consideration the other's alternate between a Mario character and a Sonic character), so I don't see what a deviation would do. And besides, it just looks so awkward with Birdo sticking there like a sore thumb. That is just a personal thought, mind, but consider that Sonic's side has all its veterans and all its newcomers together. CrashBash (talk) 03:30, 24 March 2016 (EDT)


 * The official roster without unlockable characters can be seen here, I'll try to see if I find the full roster, but it might take me some days. Anyway we can already see that Birdo is placed among the veterans even if she is a newcomer.--Mister Wu (talk) 15:18, 24 March 2016 (EDT)


 * I've looked at the orders for previous Mario & Sonic games. Neither of the first two installments actually follow the in-game order; Peach is separated from Waluigi, for example, despite both being Skill-type.
 * I also just realised that the in-game roster order actually makes no sense. It moves right to left starting from Birdo, but then why is Waluigi in front of Wario? Especially if these two were swapped, they could be above their respective rivals. Moving from left to right (and assuming Ludwig could be locked), Bowser Jr. still sits in front of Bowser, again, an oddity. I personally believe the characters should not be ordered by the in-game order. MarioComix (talk) 20:01, 24 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Been checking through a few game articles and they've always listed the characters the way they were in the game itself. Default and Unlockable characters are usually in separate sections and still go by the order they appear on the game's roster. Whether or not the character is a veteran or newcomer doesn't affect the order.

Footbal Teams
I'm pretty sure Shadow has modified Egg Pawns as team mates, and not GUN Robots. Can someone fix that? --RafalRib (talk) 13:47, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

They are Teammates as:
 * Toads (Mario & Mii)
 * Chaos (Sonic & Mii)
 * Birdos (Daisy)
 * G.U.N Robots (Shaodw)
 * Yoshis (Yoshi)
 * Egg Pawns (Jet)
 * Sprixie Princesses (Lemmy)
