So, they've finally posted some pics of Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games. i51.photobucket.com/albums/f369/nuckles87/msonic04.jpg?t=1184051979[/I dunno. Some people complain about the graphics. I think they look good. I'm not a sports fan, but I'm pretty excited. I only have 3 concerns: *Where's the Whacky? The only reason we play Mario sports game is for the wacky hi-jinks and crazy special moves. I know this is only a few screens, but where's the trademark madness? *Why is everyone competing in the olympics wearing their normal clothes. In "Strikers" they were Soccer uniforms, and in Tennis the ladies wear tennis outfits. It seems kind of silly to me that Eegman is competing in his full Otaku-egg outfit. *Speaking of which, why is Eggman competing anyway? I can buy Mario and Sonic in a footrace, provided that there is a Story sequence at the beginning where Sonic sez: "Don't worry. I'll play fair. I won't go top speed." What I can't by is Eggman and Bowser jogging faster then Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles. Still, I hope this turns out good.

I think the title is Mario and Sonic, not Sonic and Mario.
What I wanna know is who that green guy at the bottom left corner? I'm guessing Jet, as he was the most recent new Sonic character to be released.

It's Luigi. And you are right about the title.

Sorry about that. Yeah, it's Luigi. I think Jet is off ridding his rug or whatever.

Since when do graphics have anything to do with a good game?
Trust me, if Nintendo could make SOCCER cool, they can definitely make this work out.
I think its just such a weird combo of characters that people assume its going to suck, but Nintendo is more than capable of making awesome games with characters that seem otherwise unmanageable.

Just a lil update. I was looking through the new screenshots and something in this picture image.com.com/gamespot/images/2007/233/938798_20070822_screen024.jpg caught my eye. There's a flag in the top left area of the picture of a very familiar pair of glaring eyes that confirm the inevitable. Oh, and I also saw a big yellow "W" flag and a purple upside down "L" flag.

THAT IS SO COOL!
Seriously, nice detective work. At first, I thought it was a Knuckles flag, but seriously, it's got the Red rims that Shadow has. Awesome!
I would totally be holding up that sign if I was there. Hell, I'd be holding up that sign at a freak'n Red Socks game!

You mean "red eyeliner", right? ;D ... is it me or are there NO fans out there for Sonic and Co??? Theyre all goombas, koopas and mushroom people. o____o I think I see Pokemon, too... Edit: Oh wait, I see Chao... but seriously how lame is that! XD

kotaku.com/gaming/mario-and-sonic/super-olympic-mascot-battle-300617.php?autoplay=trueNew trailer that confirms uncle Shadow. I still don't see why he'd be there, but I'm sure it involve proving about about how lame Sonic is. I'm just at the point that I'm glad he'll be there. Is it me, or does it look like he wants to punch the Camera at the end of the video?! Also, Blaze is there. Which is cool because I love her, but seriously, doesn't she have better things to do? Unless the ending of Sonic Rush Adventure is that Blaze gets knocked up by Sonic, I see no reason for her to be in our dimension/time frame.

Dude, M&SATOG ain't cannon. It's a crossover. Or some fancy term like that, which explains why Blaze is in.

I was thinking the same thing. XD He just looked so angry in that video, as if he really doesn't want to be there.

Glad you agree, my good penguin!
Mastersilver, I know is's not "Cannon" per se. I wish it was, though. Or more specifically, I wish they came up with a possibly cannon story to go with the game. Right now, it's like they've heired the character Models to compete in mini games, rather then have the Sonic Cast take on Mario and crew.
I just really like Blaze (and even Silver), but I don't see why these character's from another dimension/future need to travel to the Bejing Olympics.
