Bowser rides a horse, Dr. Eggman scores 10s on a perfect dive! Share your own adventures with @SEGA.
IRVINE, Calif. – November 5, 2019 – Bowser rides a horse and Dr. Eggman jumps off the high dive. Luigi and Tails go on a quest to free Mario and Sonic from the Tokyo ’64 video game console, where they’ve been trapped as retro 8-bit and 16-bit versions of themselves.
Where else could that happen? Nowhere. And just in time for the holidays, you can experience these fun, entertaining adventures for yourselves with family and friends. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is ready for you to join the party starting today, only on Nintendo Switch™!
Get everyone together and go for the gold with Mario & Sonic!
Be sure to check back for our review and gameplay thoughts of the game, coming soon.
Here are three quirky ideas to create your own fun mem(e)ories this holiday season:
- Take a Leap of Fun: Jump off the high board, tap some buttons, and nail a splash-free execution in the 10m Platform Diving event with retro-style gameplay. Peach always keeps her crown on too, somehow.
