It is also the first game in the series published by [[Nintendo]] outside of Japan and South Korea rather than [[SEGA]], who published the first three games, and the first to feature online multiplayer and a non-pre-rendered opening cutscene. This is the last game in the series to take place during the Winter Olympics. | ||

In the final round, there is a thing called "Last Chance Points", where players roll a roulette to determine the amount of points the winner will receive. The sum of the displayed numbers in the roulettes will be used to determine the point total the winner will get, which ranges between 8 and 28. The roulette that will be used is determined by the point differential between first and last; if the point differential is 20 or more, the roulette will have numbers between 3 and 7, otherwise, the roulette will instead have numbers between 2 and 6. If the last minigame can award partial points to players, the amount of points that would be earned normally, multiplied by one-tenth the maximum amount of points possible for that round, would be the amount of points the player would earn for that round; if the result is not a whole number, it is rounded down. | |||

|align="left"|'' | |align="left"|"''While its dream events are colorful and fun, Sochi 2014 suffers from an overall lack of depth. Sochi 2014 boasts plenty of variety, and the game was great for multiplayer matches with a mixed group, where that simplicity was a boon. But the novelty of figure skating as Donkey Kong wears thin quickly — and Sochi 2014 is simply too lightweight to be a contender.''" | ||

|align="left"|'' | |align="left"|"''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games has some of the best online capabilities on the Wii U, but it unwisely forces use of poor motion controls in almost every mode. For all its competitive elements, including leaderboards, online multiplayer, and downloadable ghost competitors, Sochi 2014 is just too unpredictable to make good use of any of them. There is some fun to be had in both local and online multiplayer, but half of that is the comedy of playing with terrible controls.''" | ||
