Returning from Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS is a story mode. The story involves Mario and Sonic getting ready to start the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but Dr. Eggman and Bowser join together to demolish the Tokyo Skytree and stop the games for good. During each part of the story, a special event based on the story has to be completed to continue with the story. These events can be replayed in the Dream Events section in Single Match.
===Downtown Tokyo===
The hub world of the game takes place in Downtown Tokyo, which is unlocked after earning your first medal in an event. Downtown Tokyo acts as the main menu of the game, the player can talk to NPCs so they can get tips and tricks from the NPC. You can also summon an amiibo by talking to Miraitowa right next to the statue of himself, scanning a certain amiibo can unlock a Mii costume based on the character. However, scanning a non-compatible amiibo can unlock coins to spend on items at Akihabara.
===Akihabara===
Akihabara is a shopping plaza located to the right of the Miraitowa statue. Here, the player can purchase items at various shops. These items include accessories for your Mii, new songs that can be played in the background of events, new characters, and new stages for Dream Events.
There is also a stand ran by Wart where he sells knockoff items for very low prices. However, items like costumes have very low stats and the songs are remixed by Wart himself, which all the tracks being his own singing.
===Tanoshi Tochi===
Tanoshi Tochi is a theme park located to the left of the Miraitowa statue. Players can buy and sell items, view replays and talk to NPCs for tips and tricks. The location is a parody of Tokyo Disneyland and the idea was requested by Shigeru Miyamoto. Tanoshi Tochi directly translates to "fun land".
===Harajuku===
Harajuku is a one stop shop for fashion advice. The location is unlocked after buying three costumes and winning five gold medals. Harajuku is populated with NPCs cosplaying certain Mario and Sonic characters. If the player is nice enough to the NPCs, they can earn free gifts from them such as coins, accessories, costumes and music.
==Story==
===Opening===
The joy of all the athletes participating in the 2020 Olympics makes Dr. Eggman and Bowser furious due to none of them winning any medals or prizes. Because of this, they both join forces and attempt to demolish Tokyo.
Dr. Eggman is able to hijack broadcasting signaled out by the Skytree and warn everyone an attack is coming and Bowser is able knock down buildings.
===Doki Doki, Panic!===
While asleep in his hotel room, Mario is woken up by a loud noise coming from his TV. Shortly afterwards, a message from Dr. Eggman is heard.
Mario calls the members of his team, and alerts Sonic as well. Both Team Mario and Team Sonic meet up at Tanoshi Tochi, until they find out it has turned into Bowser's own theme park. Bowser is seen in the sky flying his Koopa Clown Car until both of the teams confront him. He jumps out of the clown car and chases both of the teams until Nabbit pulls out a spare Mega Mushroom from his bag and hands it to Mario. He is able to swing Bowser by the tail (a reference to Super Mario 64) and throw him away from the group.
