'''''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''''' is a [[Genre#Sports|sports]] game for the [[Wii]], with a [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|version of the game]] released as well. The game places [[Mario]], [[Sonic]], and their various allies against each other in Olympic events. The game has the official [[Beijing]] 2008 Olympics license, and features environments based on actual Olympic venues. It is the first game in the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series.

Although both Nintendo and Sega worked on this collaboration, most of the development was handled by Sega. However, as the game was completed, Sega did publishing and marketing duties for all versions outside of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Nintendo did publishing and marketing duties for the Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese versions of this game.

Both versions of the game use the new functions of these consoles completely. The game was compatible with [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Originally, ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' was considered an April Fools' joke, as the game was revealed on March 28, 2007. However, soon after, [[Sega]] stated on their official website that the game is official, and that both Sega and [[Nintendo]] are working on this game project. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] then soon confirmed that he would be supervising the project, confirming ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' to be real.

|3.5/5
|align="left"|"''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is certainly one of the best Olympian titles since Epyx's Winter Games in the 1980s. However, given the sparse quality of that field, that might not hold much weight. It's a title that seems squarely aimed at the Wii Sports crowd, though some of the mini-games don't feel as well-implemented as in Nintendo's effort. Nevertheless, when the games work, it's a fun experience that you can mostly play through whether you have a nunchuk or not, a nice touch for gamers who have more Remotes than nunchuks during multiplayer sessions. Mario & Sonic is by no means a bad compilation of sports-oriented mini-games; it's occasionally flawed but ultimately fun.''"

|6/10
|align="left"|"''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games probably isn't the game you envisioned when you imagined the once-fierce rivals finally getting together, but that's not its biggest problem. Instead, the trouble lies in the often uninteresting and occasionally frustrating motion controls combined with some events that are too similar to one another, as well as shallow gameplay that brings the game down.''"

|Ellie Gibson, [https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/mario-and-sonic-at-the-olympic-games-review Eurogamer]
|7/10
|align="left"|"''Mario & Sonic's biggest flaw, however, is undoubtedly the unlocking nonsense...There are plenty of enjoyable mini-games here and they're nicely varied. There are some stinkers but that's to be expected. Most of the mini-games are well-balanced, and some have enough depth to make you keep playing again and again. Many of them will make you laugh out loud. It's a shame you can't play all of them without having to complete hours of single-player challenges. But if you're willing to put the hours in, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is a highly entertaining party game.''"
