}}

'''''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''''' the third installment of the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]], taking place in [[London]], the host city for the {{wp|2012 Summer Olympics}}. Much like the other games in the series, the game is largely based around the 56 minigame-like [[Event]]s, the most featured in a single installment in the series' history, with various modes allowing for the events to be played in different formats such as medleys and offering both single and multiple cartridge multiplayer for the mode. In addition to this, the game features a new Story Mode, centered around a plot based on [[Bowser]] and [[Dr. Eggman]]  trying to stop the Olympic Games taking place using the [[Phantasmal Fog]], in which the player completes various event challenges to progress. The game also has a number of collectibles in the form of badges, and also allows the player to view online leaderboards of records for certain events. ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' marks the first installment of the series released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and was released roughly three months after its [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|home console counterpart]] on the [[Wii]].
