Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Game - Playing All Events As Mario

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is a sports game released for the Nintendo Switch. It is the sixth installment in the Mario & Sonic series and the fourth one based on the Summer Olympics. It is based on the real-world 2020 Summer Olympics, which took place in Tokyo, Japan. This marks the first instance where the series skips a year of the Olympic Games, as Ubisoft acquired the rights to develop 2018 Winter Olympics video games before Sega could. It was initially announced on March 29, 2019, as one of Sega's new video games to be based on the 2020 Olympics. The game was formally revealed in Nintendo's E3 Nintendo Direct of 2019 and was released on November 1, 2019, in Asia and November 5, 2019, in North America. The game also has two companion games: an arcade version of the game that was released in Japan on January 23, 2020, and a mobile game featuring only Sonic the Hedgehog characters that was released on May 7, 2020. It is also the first Mario & Sonic game to be published by Sega in Japan and other East Asian countries, and the last game overall to be developed by AlphaDream (and the only one for the Switch) following its bankruptcy on October 1, 2019.

Unlike in previous games, most characters wear appropriate sports clothing depending on the chosen event. Additionally, the game's title places the location and year (Tokyo 2020) after "Olympic Games" rather than before, while it is completely omitted from the logo in non-Asian versions of the game. 2D Events, which are events from the 1964 Summer Olympics, are introduced, use only button controls, and are based on older sports games, utilizing the 8-bit (Super Mario) and 16-bit (Sonic) styles. The game is the first home console installment to include a Story Mode, which takes place in both 2D and 3D.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was announced on March 24, 2020, that the 2020 Olympic Games would be postponed to a later date in 2021, which was later revealed to be from July 23 to August 8, 2021. This causes Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 to have the longest gap between the game's release (November 2019) and the commencement of the corresponding Olympics (July 2021) out of any Mario & Sonic game.
