Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS): Difference between revisions

Local Play and Download Play are both offered for 2 to 4 players. In Local Play, the player can play a single unlocked "Highlight Match" with other players or a "Medley Match" with Standard or Quick options. Standard allows players to specify their preferred characters in each group before the events and offers instructions before events.

Within a Medley Match, the player can choose medleys from London Games, preset selections of events based on event type; Variety, preset selections of events based on theme; Party Mix, a mode with a set of possibly random events hosted by Omachao, with other random modifier events; and Custom, the player's own selection of events. A Recommended Medley is also offered.

Unlike previous Mario & Sonic games on DS, there are some limitations to Download Play. In Download Play, the player can play any event in a Highlight Match with character selection, or a limited version of Medley Match called "Party Mix Demo DL Medley" where everyone plays as colored Yoshis, regardless of the events chosen. In addition, the announcer and the characters don't talk on systems that are playing via Download Play. Some features are also disabled and also, the Top Screen is fully white when selecting an event or a character.
