Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS): Difference between revisions

''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' was revealed on March 28, 2007. Initially, it was widely assumed to be an [[Wikipedia:April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day]] joke, but soon after, [[Sega]] stated on their official website that the game is official and that both Sega and [[Nintendo]] would be working on it, shortly followed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] confirming that he would be supervising the project.

==Gameplay==

===Circuit===

The circuits are split into three classes: Beginner's Class, Advanced Class and Master's Class. In the Beginner's Class, all five of the circuits have three events. Four of the circuits are unlocked at the start of the game, with the fifth being unlocked by completing the other five. In the Advanced Class, the five circuits have four events each, ad are all unlocked by completing the previous circuit or by playing a specific number of Free Match events. Master's Class' six circuits are unlocked in the same way, with each circuit containing five events.

====Beginner's Class====

====Advanced Class====

===Mission===

In Mission mode, players can play a number of different challenges based around events with certain limitations or restrictions, such as time penalties or score requirements. Each character has five missions unlocked by default, represented by a circle of stars next to the character on the character select screen in Mission mode. Each time a mission is completed, a star will be filled in. Completing all five of a character's missions will earn the player the character's respective emblem.
