==Trivia==
*This game has a handheld version after Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games lacked one.
*This is the first Mario & Sonic game to not have Dream Events, although these would return in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
**A similar role is fulfilled by the duel events, however, these take place in locations in Rio rather than locations from the Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises.
*This is the last Mario & Sonic game to have Knuckles voiced by Travis Willingham as he is voiced by Dave B. Mitchell in the Mario & Sonic series starting with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 as his voice actor was replaced in Team Sonic Racing.https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Sonic-the-Hedgehog/Knuckles-the-Echidna/
