Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Cream's first appearance alongside Mario and the other Mario franchise characters is in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. She serves as one of the referees in some of the game's events along with Toad, Espio the Chameleon, and Charmy Bee. She, along with Toad, mainly handles calling out fouls and starting races in the Athletics events, and also watches the players play the Table Tennis and Fencing events.

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.

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 Fog Imposters and are saved by Mario, Luigi, Toad, Sonic, Tails and Omochao, who explain to them what is happening before defeating the imposters.
