        Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is a video game in the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series, released for the Nintendo 3DS in February 2016 in Japan, March 2016 in North America, and in April 2016 for Europe and Australia. It will be released for Wii U worldwide in June 2016.[1] The game was developed by Sega Sports R&D, with assistance from Arzest and Spike Chunsoft, and published by Nintendo. It is the fifth title in the Mario & Sonic series.[2]

        Gameplay

        Players control various characters from the fictional universes of the Mario and Sonic franchises in sporting events based on the 2016 Summer Olympics.[3]

        The game also contains support for the amiibo line of NFC figures.[4]

        Development

        The game was first revealed on the Japanese Nintendo Direct website on May 30, 2015.[5] Like the previous games, the game was officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee.[6] Both versions of the game are set to be released worldwide in 2016.[7] An arcade edition of the game was also announced by Sega, which will be released in Japan in 2016.[8][9] It is also slated for a North American release in 2016 and a European release to follow later.[10]
