Story Mode (Nintendo 3DS Version)

Opening

Bowser and Dr. Eggman watch over London from the inside of Big Ben, but the doctor tells Bowser they're already starting the 2012 Olympics and they haven't got their invitations yet. Bowser suggests that he could use his new machine. Dr. Eggman agrees and puts a mysterious pot in side of it and presses the start button. Then, colorful fog covers all over London, while Bowser and Dr. Eggman laugh in victory.

Challengers Bonus

Bowser Jr. arrives in England to compete in the games. Unfortunately, he took a wrong turn and ended up in Stonehenge instead of London. He sees Yoshi training for the games and challenges him to an Olympic event. Jr. wins and calls on his Bullet Bill to bring him to London. Later, Omochao and a regular Chao are being threatened by two of Dr. Eggman's robots for unknown reasons. Shadow and Silver arrive to defeat them, but Jr., flying overhead, accidentally falls off of his Bullet Bill and destroys both robots. The two Chao are grateful and even the two hedgehogs are impressed. Wanting to see how strong he really is, they challenge Jr. to a 2-on-1 Olympic event. Surprisingly, Jr. wins. Shadow and Silver are good sports and congratulate the young Koopa. A nearby Goomba convinces Jr. to look for more robots so that he'll be even stronger. Arriving at the stadium, Jr. and the Goomba see Dr. Eggman measuring Metal Sonic's time running around the track. Jr. challenges Metal Sonic to an event. Thinking this would be perfect practice for the robot, Eggman agrees, on the condition that Jr. becomes his servant if he loses. Jr. accepts, telling Eggman that if he wins, he has to tell Bowser of his victory. With that, the reptile and robot set off. Jr. eventually wins. Eggman tries to examine Jr. to see what he needs to do to upgrade Metal Sonic, but Jr. angrily stops him, demanding a snack in exchange for Eggman trying to trick him. The scientist reluctantly agrees.

Wild Ones Bonus

Meanwhie, Bowser angrily stomps through London, followed by a Goomba, a Lakitu, and a Magikoopa. Bowser is really angry because of a toothache he has. His minions decide to cheer him up by secretly letting him win some Olympic events against various challengers. Their first target is Donkey Kong. The Magikoopa promises a pile of bananas in exchange for defeating Bowser in an event, but when the ape agrees, the wizard summons a Thwomp to fall on DK, making him dizzy and less likely to win. When Bowser shows up, he defeats DK, but behind his back, the Magikoopa makes it up to DK by getting him those bananas he promised. Later, the Magikoopa, as well as the Lakitu and a Dry Bones, somehow convince Knuckles and Vector to rendevous. To convince them to fight, the Magikoopa uses his magic to make the Lakitu look like Charmy and the Dry Bones to look like Espio. The two real Chaotix members notice the two fake members acting funny, but agree to fight Bowser. The Magikoopa then summons giant versions of a Chain Chomp and Piranha Plant to bite Knuckles and Vector, respectively. Similar to DK, this makes the two animals dazed and less likely to win. After Bowser defeats them, the Goomba (who had led Bowser to the arena) quickly escorts him out before Knuckles and Vector ask too many questions. For Bowser's last false victory, the minions plan to have their king triumph over Mario in a tennis game. Unfortunately, the Boo assigned for the job failed to trick Mario into coming to the court, so after the other minions come, Dry Bones distracts Bowser while the others think of a plan. The Magikoopa decides he'll have to transform one of the minions into Mario. Dry Bones can't do it since he's talking to Bowser, and neither Boo nor Lakitu can do it because they're floating. This leaves the Goomba as the only solution. The mushroom is terrified to do it, but when Bowser's patience wears thin, he agrees. Bowser challenges "Mario" to a game of tennis and wins. After the match, Bowser Jr. arrives and congratulates his dad while the minions celebrate over the success of their plan.

Tricksters Bonus

In his secret headquarters inside Big Ben, Eggman defeats Metal Sonic in a match of Taekwondo. However, he is unsure what to do to upgrade his creation. His other robot minions, Orbot and Cubot, see Waluigi on the monitors and suggest him for practice. The foursome confront the man in purple and convince him to battle, saying it would make good practice for defeating Luigi in the Olympics. Metal Sonic wins, and Eggman deduces that Metal Sonic possesses speed, but not strength. Eggman and the robots come across Wario and ask him to challenge Metal Sonic so that the robot may go against Wario's strength. However, defeating Mario isn't good enough for Wario, so he and Eggman settle on a bet: If Wario wins, Orbot and Cubot come work for him. If Metal Sonic wins, Wario has to give Eggman something of his. Metal Sonic emerges victorious. Wario gives Eggman an old urn he got from an antique shop, claiming its magic. Eggman seems to recognize it and accepts it. Back in his headquarters, Eggman places the urn inside a machine. The machine slightly unseals the lid on the urn and gray fog pours into the room. Some of this fog takes the shape of Sonic and Eggman challenges it to an event. Eggman appears victorious and the Sonic imposter vanishes into thin air. Eggman explains to his minions that this urn contains the legendary Phantasmal Fog, stolen 300 years ago by the legendary pirate William Kidd. The urn eventually ended up in the British Museum, where it was recently stolen. Eggman resolves to completely unseal the urn after he and Metal Sonic are done training for the Olympics.

Girls Bonus

At Hyde Park Peach, Amy, Blaze, and three Toads are setting up the invitations for all of the athletes, however Amy suggests she take Sonic's invitation to him personally, Blaze suggests that if Amy can beat her in a competition she will let her go. Then, after Amy beats her, Daisy shows up and battles with Peach and after Peach wins they all go out for a break, but when they return the wind had knocked off all of the invitations to the ground. After they pick them all up they realize that they are missing Bowser's and Eggman's invitations they make new ones. Later, Peach and Amy meet Bowser and Eggman in the park and end up playing a round of Beach Volleyball, after they win they go fetch their invitations, but at the same moment the toads go to deliver them, they drop Eggman and Bowser's next to them. Bowser and Eggman look at how well it's written and think that their love letters to Sonic and Mario. Bowser and Eggman go off together looking around London before they do something evil. The girls assume that Bowser and Eggman took their own and then all go out shopping together before the Olympic Games start.

Character Stats

Each character in the game has Statistics to which kind of event they would be good at and which event they would not be good at. The game features 4 or 5 types (Acceleration, Max Speed, Skill, Power, Stamina)  that a character can be and each type classifies where that character will excel in comparison to the other types. Each character still has other stats that come in effect and are not determined by their type. These statistics are more based off that characters natural abilities, a good comparison is with Sonic, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles, even though Tails is a Skill type, he is still fast, just not as fast as Sonic (who is a Speed type) and even though Amy is All-Around she's strong, fast, as well as being very skilled but not to the extent as Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles.

Reception

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games received mostly positive reviews. Nintendo Power gave the Wii version a 7.0 rating in their November 2011 issue, stating that the game had events that weren't just minigames, but good ones, too. They also reviewed the Nintendo 3DS version in their January/February 2012 issue, giving it, as well, a 7.0 rating, saying that some of the events weren't quite accurate, but still a fun minigame jaboree. IGN gave the Wii version a 7.5 rating, saying that the game is a recycled version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games with the events, but liking the Dream Events and the London Party.

Trivia

  • This is the first game in the Mario & Sonic series to not feature any new playable characters.
  • The trailer shows Mario participating in the trampoline event while Sonic is participating in the track event, emphasizing their famous abilities (Jumping and Running, respectively).
  • This is the first Mario & Sonic game to feature the new Sonic voice cast.
  • This is the last Sonic game to be released on the Wii.
  • This is the first and only Mario & Sonic game to show Dream Events in the actual trailer outside of gameplay.
  • This game is included in the Nintendo Wii Limited Edition.
  • This is the only Mario & Sonic title to have the Wii logo a different color than usual games (aside from the Japanese Wii logo). The Wii's logo is yellow.
  • In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Vector's arms have been recolored a darker green, as opposed to being the same color as his underbelly.
  • The remix of Splash Hill Zone was first heard during the 2011 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, to mark the return of the Sonic balloon, being the lead of the parade and for being out of commission since 1993.
  • The remixes of Angel Island Zone and His World in this game are the same remixes that were in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
  • There are over 55 playable events making this game have the most included amount of events out of any Mario & Sonic game yet.
  • Each female has 3 outfits: Their normal Olympics outfit for most events, their winter Olympics outfit exclusive to the equestrian event, and their new outfit for swimming and gymnastics.
  • The 3DS version is the first Mario & Sonic game to not have Dream Events.
  • This is the second Mario & Sonic game where a Mario character and a Sonic character is seen at the same team in the game's opening. The first was Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, where Yoshi and Tails were in the same team, along with Silver and Amy in a Curling match.
    • Amy, Blaze, Peach and Daisy at the Synchronized Swimming.
    • Shadow, Dr. Eggman, Wario and Waluigi at the Team Pursuit.
    • Silver and Donkey Kong against Vector and Daisy at the Beach Volleyball.
    • Knuckles, Metal Sonic, Yoshi and Waluigi at the Football event.
  • There are no female Power types.
    • There are also no male All-Around characters from Sonic.
      • Knuckles is the only power type who isn't big at all.
  • In Aquatic, Equestrian and Gymnastic games, all the female characters have different clothes on.
    • Originally, all characters were going to have swimsuits as well. However, Sega rejected the idea as Sonic was not allowed to have his shoes removed.[4]
      • Swimsuits for the female characters were planned since the first game.
    • In Aquatics, Sonic wears a life jacket.
      • Sonic's life-jacket is blue in this game instead of yellow as in previous games.
  • In the opening video, when Sonic grabs Blaze's legs in one of the events showcased, the player can see Blaze's eyes wide with panic - it's most likely a nod to the fact that Blaze is scared of heights, similarly to how Sonic was shown in a life jacket to showcase his inability to swim.
