You’ll switch between the real-world of Tokyo 2020 and the 2D inspired world of 1964, which makes for a totally charming experience. When Mario and Sonic find themselves trapped inside an old handheld gaming system by Bowser and Eggman, trusty sidekicks Luigi and Tails will have to team up to compete in mini-games to save the day. You’ll play through a roughly four-hour story mode, competing in summer sporting events and touring Tokyo’s most iconic locales and landmarks. The Story Mode is excellent for solo-players looking for a more robust gaming experience. The game features a few different ways to play, each just as fun as the last. Characters from the Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog universes come together to compete in the world’s greatest sporting event – the Olympics! Each game in the series is based in a real-world Olympic city, this time focusing on Tokyo, the real location for the upcoming 2020 Summer Olympics. If you’ve never played a Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games title before, here’s what you need to know. While it’s always a great time, the newest installment, out today for Nintendo Switch, is hands-down our fav. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is hands down the best game in the series.
