The Mario & Sonic Crossover Game Nobody Wanted

- Mario. Sonic. Two of gaming's greatest mascots. Battling out in the 90s as Nintendo and Sega went head-to-head. Now joined together to participate in the OLYMPICS! Yay...... The Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series has been a widely loathed series over the years for its squandered potential. Having these two legendary platforming mascots come together in an underwhelming mini game collection says it all. But is it really that bad? So today I look at the first Mario & Sonic game released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007 only to find out that motion controls are bull-crap! and that the series is dead because of NFTS????

No. The game we didn't want is the one we have because of NFTS
Exactly #nftsarescams #mlmisascam
Fr we want another Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games
Honestly, even though these games aren't what a lot of fans imagined a Mario & Sonic crossover would be, I still have a soft spot for them since they combine two of my favorite gaming franchises into one game
Literally how I feel! 😂
i have a lot of good memory of the snowbaording dream in the winter edition
The 2010 and 2012 were peak childhood. There were also the ones who made me research more about both series, and so got me interested in gaming as a whole.
Rip.
I’ll never forget getting the Wii winter Vancouver game for my 10th birthday. Anytime my brother and I would turn on one of the games, we would never skip the intro cutscene, ever.
I could imagine them making a Mario and Sonic Collection someday with the first 3 console games!
But they need the olympics liscence to do so no
That would be amazing as heaven
Mario and Sonic Generations
And maybe even include the story modes from Vancouver and London’s handheld versions?
@@juliannocartagena2007 I mainly just wanna play the winter game’s season mode again!
This way of doing a Mario & Sonic crossover mightve disappointed many, but it's what got me into Mario, Sonic, and the Olympics (I didn't recognize any of those three words until my parents got me the Vancouver version one year for Christmas along with a Wii). I was always excited whenever a new one came out. I hope you try the rest of the games!
3:25 that yarn yoshi is looking right into your soul
Crazy how it was literally just the other day it dawned on me that the Mario & Luigi series would be a great fit for a character like Sonic! Just imagine the crazy adventure they'd go on together and how it could introduce some cool new attacks and switch up both the battles and the biomes they traverse. I was hoping to see others push this idea, just didn't expect to see it so soon🥹.
As amazing as that is, I don't think SEGA would want to make an RPG style game after the disaster that was Sonic Chronicles [despite my undying love for the game.]
Mario and Luigi: Sonic Speed Ahead
Can we get a sonic rpg 1st?
3:01 Wait Sonic fans don't like Sonic 3D Blast?
Yes, even though for me I thought it was pretty good, especially with the music. But the Flicky mechanic can be annoying in the later stages especially when you lose them and they go whatever they want.
I'm legit very glad we got the Olympics instead* of a traditional crossover.
Mario & Sonic's rivalry is something that existed outside* of their canon, so to try to jam the two together in a game? I mean what's the point? Sonic's mechanics wouldn't complement Mario's style, nor vice versa, the end result would just be a half Mario / half Sonic, half baked!
But the Olympics? That makes all of the sense of the world! The whole point of the Olympics is to bring people from all over the world, or worlds* together! And since the premise it's so goofy, they can actually* have fun with it, rather than trying to fit a circle in a square.
Rumor has it that SEGA actually tried to pitch a traditional crossover to Nintendo multiple times, but they were rejected.
This would be why SEGA rejected Sonic's inclusion into Brawl at first, and then approved it after* Nintendo greenlit the Olympics game.
@@julianx2rl I think it's fair to say that Miyamoto wanted something more original for a crossover rather than something traditional like a plat-former. Given the Mario + Rabbids crossover years later, I could see why Nintendo wanted something more unique which is how we got the Olympic games instead.
so you can have mario and rabbids , but mario and sonic would be pointless ? brother the selling point is literally just their IPs existing together , any platforming style would suffice. we could have a 2D game where you switch between sonic and mario to reach different areas using character-specific abilities , we could have a 3D open world that explores the world of sonic and mario , we could have a racing a game that merges elements from both series , the possibilities are endless !
@@ganges2264 I think you missed the entire point. Nintendo likely very much knows how important a crossover is between Mario and Sonic, but they wanted the game to be something different.
Like how often do we get a 3D Mario Platformer? Not often. And it makes it clear they don't want to over saturate the Mario 3D Platformer which is why they do different spin off games every year.
Who says the crossover needed to jam in rivalry?
I just wanna see Mario fight eggman
i like tokyo dream racing because it is like sonic riders
At least the commercials for the first game are incredibly funny and interesting at the same time. Mario and Sonic's relationship as rivals should have been the way it is in these commercials in the actual game.
And Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games on DS actually has a cool story mode. The story isn't anything groundbreaking, but you actually have several cool cities to freely explore.
These cities feel lived in and interesting, and there are little tidbits about the Olympic Games to discover, as well as new areas to unlock with certain characters.
Nobody? I don’t know about you but I certainly wanted them. It would also be great to have an actual crossover but I’m still grateful for this spinoff franchise.
2:44 SEGA Questionable Decisions Jar jumpscare.
Man, I remember spending so much time playing the Bicycle, Fencing, Dream Running, Figure Skating, Skeleton, and Dream Snowboarding events from the first two DS games, both solo and with my siblings and cousins. And the party and story modes! Even if they’re just minigame collections, the first two were legit really fun and well-designed ones.
Can’t speak on the later ones since I haven’t play them tho…
I was 5 when this came out so didn’t think much of it but looking back this is such a random concept lol
Here’s hoping we maybe get Mario & Sonic Sports, Party, or RPG.
It would probably be neat to see this lineup of three past Mario RPGs from the past lead up to some combo of them in the form of Mario & Sonic’s next outing together.
HOWEVER, the Mario sports series have gotten pretty stale, and even Nintendo Switch Sports went very poorly. I think they’re going to, or should, need some big selling point for the audience to give them another chance.
This video is so well made! Good job!
13:56. Unpopular opinion, but I prefer this game over Mario Party. Maybe it's because I'm not really into Mario Party, or 8 and 9 aren't really as fun as they used to be when I was younger, but M&S 2008 is a game I can come back to, and have fun despite it being a workout (which I don't mind) and the controls (which I basically mastered, seriously it's not that hard). Wii Sports is basically goated, and it will never be toped, but M&S 2008, in my opinion, is still pretty dang good. Obviously, the ones after are 10X better (except for the Wii U entries, those games are abysmal), but M&S 2008, will always hold a special place in my heart.
I used to play this game a lot when I had a Wii Mini (yes, I had the inferior version of the Wii console) and I'd always play Javelin Throw and Trampoline a lot, and I even did Dream Fencing with 4 Wii Remotes by myself. Now looking back on this game, I feel like this game isn't that good when compared to it's sequels. My biggest grip with the first game is the lack of content and overall replay value since there's only 24 events with most of them lacking any depth and they get boring fast, and Circuit mode feels undermined by the fact that it can be played by four players, and there's only 16 circuits and Mission mode has a total of 96 missions that don't have any merit to them and are oddly programmed since they show a lot of cut corners and they have bullcrap objectives like perfecting hurdle jumps in 110m Hurdles despite the Hurdles being hard to jump over. Another grip is that it feels unfinished, since the graphics look quite bad with washed-out colours, and there's only 16 characters with some obvious ommissions, and some cutscenes are programmed in the wrong places, such as the team events not having the Multiplayer Award Ceremony in single player, and the Losing Ceremony and Single Player Award Ceremony only being seen in Single Player. There's also Single Sculls, 100m and the Swimming events not having a split-screen for multiplayer despite them being Racing events, and the Gallery mode being just lame minigames and not having any data, character bios, or a collection of old Mario or Sonic games and comics to read or play. In fact, according to TCRF, there was originally going to be more in the game, but got cut such as 10 more events that didn't make it and 4 more playable characters, and some events got revamped such as Dream Fencing originally having points but got changed to having health as hit points instead, and it was likely that there would be more missions and maybe more game modes that would make up for the lack of depth. Honestly, this game is quite interesting, but I wish it was better with less fincky controls and more content, would've been a great game but it is what it is.
I remember back when I was at gamestop. I was trying to get Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter games. But the man who gave me the game accidentally gave me the wrong disc. It was the first game of the series. I didn't realize it until a few months later. 😂
And i still have it to this day.
Nah tbh tho I really loved this crossover series to death I wish we kept getting more and more it made the Olympics feel somewhat bigger than it already was and that’s saying something
Lots of effort in your content. I’ll be checking out more!
Let’s save Mario and Sonic at the Paris Olympic Games
Your videos take me back to early RUclips in the best way. I'm glad YT recommended you randomly, hope you get randomly seen by more people!
Had the DS version and that was literally my childhood I actually had fun with it
Please, PLEASE, cover the sequels I beg you.
Overall, I agree that the first entry is the weakest among the Wii titles (bland minigames, janky controls. There's a reason why I return to this title the least amongst the three).
But the next two titles fleshed out the concept by miles, and are by far my favorites out of the series. You won't be disappointed, trust me.
Don't worry. The Winter Olympics and London are next on the list. Not next video. But in the future for sure.

Gotta be the most underrated youtuber I know right now. Great Video dude! 😂
Bro!! U are criminally underrated.... Keep up the awesome content!🎉
1:47 sonic frontiers
You're speaking for yourself on this one
Never been a fan of crossovers outside of Marvel vs Capcom. It was such a random partnership at the time, but it was beautiful. All the crossovers that people say "make sense" tend to ironically less sense than those random ones. Two good things don't always need to join. So god help me if people ask for Pokemon x Digimon or something
The presentation was really good here, honestly i only ever played the ds version but now that this series is finished i would also perfer an actual collaboration game but nice vid dude keep up the great work
No one wanted it, yet everyone loved it
The first couple Mario and Sonic Olympic games are really fun actually.
I wish Mario and sonic would collab on more than the Olympics maybe come together to fight a new villain or race together imagine bowser and egg man pairing up to fight
this is exactly why i prefer the DS version. no exhausting movements that doesn't even make the characters move sometimes (you don't have to break your touch screen by the way, just be consistent) and there's more dream events. oh and also i guess the bonus games are more fun but i don't like all of them personally. also in the mission mode (this video didn't mention it being a thing in the wii version) after doing all the missions you have to beat a character in "top condition" which means they just had coffee.
... Look. I see a strange opinion, i click. But when i see Jet Grind Radio? You earned a subscriber. FOR THE SEGA DREAMCAST
@Dreamcasttime it is Goated (I wanna talk about it so badly)
@@HonchoV1 Go for it, mate!
I would never think I’d see the day that sonic and Waluigi had a domain clash💀
My favorite one is Mario and Sonic at the winter Olympic games, i played on the DS lite ✨ I love the story mode, replayed it a lot! 😂 love the challenges and love the multi-player mini games like bingo. I used to play with my siblings on multi-player and play 3 matches of bingo so we can play all the mini games against each other, I usually won 💅
Ah good times with that game 😄 we played it as much as Mario party, and I definitely think Mario and Sonic at the winter Olympic games is more fun then the first Olympic games 💯
It's the game that we deserve
Sonic 06 and sonic shuffle were great buddy😊
Sonic shuffle is terrible but 06 is bad but overhated WAY WAYN TO MUCH
I really like the Mario and Sonic London Olympics games..☺️😅
I haven't played these games in forever, and didn't have the interest to get the remainder of the series after playing a couple entries (The original on the Wii, and the original Winter Games on the DS). I did get to experience it again and actually move my body more, when I found out there's an arcade version at a somewhat local Dave & Buster's and enjoyed my time, a couple months ago.
Great video! Very underrated youtuber
3:24 good to me
While the 2008 was primitive for the Wii the 2012 Olympics are where things improve
0:36 Sora in Smash Dude.
I remember playing this one for the first time back in 2015 and thought it was boring. I love Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games way more. I played those before I played the first game. London 2012 is my favorite out of all 6 games lol. I didn't really play the tokyo one. It doesn't really look all that interesting.
I agree alot though the Olympic games where fun it would have been cool to see mario and sonic use the chaos emeralds
Listen this is a game series no body asked but it is amazing (speaking from my past when I was a wee lad )
This is kinda off topic but anyone notice how the colors seem to appear washed out in alot of Wii games. I wonder if it was a style choice of the time or a hardware thing. Like the Gamecube didnt have this issue and its the weaker (not a whole lot weaker) system but still boast colors that seem more vibrant, so that leads me to think it cant have anything to do with power. But I'm not a tech guy so thats just me spitballing, its just something I find fascinating
Fencing is like a nonviolent smash bros
That was a grape video 👍👍
@robbertlw9610 definitely a grape video!
This is one of those channels that I believe deserves more likes/views (which it would definitely get if RUclips just recommended you more). You’ve just got a new sub mate, keep it up and I won’t be surprised if you get hundreds of thousands of subs some day :)
Super cute italian man uploads again.
😀👍
@@HonchoV1 wait you're italian?
I disagree with your views as I grew up with this series but this video is really funny 😂
Mini games are one thing but generic sports, oh good lord...
Yeah great trailer but....
Oh no!
Will you cover any of the sequels?
@@mariobroultimate1808 I think I'll take a look at at least the winter and London games.
@@HonchoV1 Those are the best ones.
@@HonchoV1 The first Winter games for the Wii was their peak moment 👌, everything went downhill from there imo
I'm new to this channel...
...... ARE YOU RELATED TO ED BOON?
No. But I see where you're coming from.
My college professor was right, youtubers are too arrogant with their reviews
Nft that's stupid
Well this is the end for this franchise the only good thing I can say about this franchise is a dream event because it's really fun ngl that's the only event I have fun but otherwise this is really mid franchise
screw fortnite 0:39
Yea bro Mario and sonic in multiple ultimate competitions of sports, no one ASKED for you opinion
Most cap I've ever seen in a video bro this was the second best game imo the best one was the 2010 version of the winter olympics
Nintendo do fail not SEGA cause Nintendo didn’t add waluigi and shadow to smash SEGA games are better then Nintendo
Will you talk about sonic fan games?
