Wow, this is quite the occasion, a Mario and Sonic game. I'll bet that people from the Genesis years never saw this one coming. But I guess plenty of people got their wish, a Mario and Sonic game. Fortunately, this means a greater chance of Sonic characters in SSBB. Finally, however, people morons will stop asking stuff like "omg wut if mario and sonic got in 2 a fite????????" Well, at least a good number of them hopefully will.

Of course, it's obvious that Sonic can run faster than Mario. That was one of the main reasons for creating Sonic. Additionally, I'm not sure if it's linked from Deezer's article, however here's an image one guy in #tmk showed us. Looks legit to me.

And I thought the crossover in Mario Hoops was weird! How (or rather, will) Nintendo explain this one?
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

When I first heard that NOA was putting Mario and Sonic in a game together, my heart stopped. I almost thought they were going to confirm that Sonic was in SSBB.

A pretty weird announcement. Like, finallly bringing two mascot charcter together for...the olympics? Still, once we get some screenshots, this game is pretty interesting. But, who's developing it? Sega or Nintendo?

Umm, we got press releases directly from Nintendo and Sega.  We don't need "confirmation."

It's great that Mario and Sonic characters are finally appearing in a game together, though I hate how Toad isn't even mentioned in the press release.

I hope Toad also appears in this game. I wonder who his Sonic character rival would be?
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

The only thing I have to say is that it reminds me of the episode of the Superman animated series where Superman got sidetracked while having a "Fastest Man Alive" race against The Flash.

Dang. I knew it had to happen someday, but I didn't think it would be so soon. Mario and Sonic finally get a game together.
Luigison: Question everything!
Me: Why?

As someone who grew up in the 1990s, I can't wait for this.
I'll think of a better signature later!

Well, this falls into the category of one of those sports spin-offs I don't really care for. Sonic's inclusion has nothing at all to do with my decision to not get this game. On the subject of Mario + Sonic... I don't know. Does Sonic really fit into the Mushroom Kingdom? Does Mario fit into... Err... (my Sonic knowledge is minimal, sorry.)

Edit: I'm all for Sonic in Brawl, though. Super Smash Bros. is already a Halloween bag of a game as it is, so why not?

Well, this is "at the Olympic Games," so we don't have to worry about Mario and Sonic being out of their respective lands. Though the location opens another can of worms...

I thought this was an April Fool's joke for sure until I realized one thing. If it were, they wouldn't have drug the Olympics into it and gone to the trouble of using the offical logo. With that said:

W T D

Also, good job immediately writing this game off, Bird, after hearing nothing but the title.


P.S. I call Mario for the high-jump and Sonic for the 100m dash. Also Knuckles for wrestling.

And Yoshi, Luigi, or Tails would all be good for the long jump.
