As Super Mario so often says: here we go. The most recent release hit back in 2016 to celebrate the Olympics in Rio, but as far as Nintendo Switch releases go, players have been left a little high and dry.īelow, we rank all five of these games, from best to not-exactly-great.

This was one of the major reasons for discourse outside of the somewhat faulty and inconsistent controls, but it didn't take away from the fact that each game did pretty well for a series that relied so heavily on its crossover, and never really went beyond the theme of the Olympic games.Īs the series went on, it received a little less hype with each release, but players who held on to the franchise can attest to some seriously fun game play and incredible locations that matched each year's Olympic theme. Each game designated the characters with athlete types, which included All Around, Speed, Power, and Skill.
Nintendo agreed, and from the fires of Olympia, a (then-)plumber and his bipedal animal rival began competing in some of the most entertaining Olympic video games of all time.Ĭharacters competed across various popular sports, and each game changed based on the season of the sport and the year it came out. Sega, in the spirit of competition, reached out to Nintendo and received approval to use Super Mario and various characters from his franchise (like Peach, Luigi, Daisy and Bowser) to go head to head with the cast of Sonic the Hedgehog. Back in 2008, when Nintendo found itself thriving on the Wii and the DS at the same time (for at least a little while), their friendly rivals at Sega acquired the rights to produce Olympics-inspired video games.
