Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

***Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014*** is a cross-over sports/party video game for the Wii U and is the fourth installment of the ***Mario & Sonic series***. It was first announced by Satoru Iwata on Nintendo Direct on 17 May 2013, as the second out of the three titles of Sega and Nintendo's exclusive collaboration, the first being ***Sonic Lost World*** and the third being ***Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric***/***Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal***. It is also the first game in the series published by Nintendo outside of Japan and South Korea rather than Sega, who published the first three games.

## Gameplay

***Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014*** features sixteen events, including a wide variety of Olympic winter sports, including skiing, snowboarding, bobsledding, pairs figure skating and curling. Players have to use both the GamePad and the Wii Remote Plus, depending on the event in question. Curling, for example, requires players to draw lines on the GamePad's screen.

The game also includes special events set in the world of ***Mario & Sonic***, in which characters have special abilities not possible in the real world. Mixed events that combine sports like skiing, snowboarding and bobsledding in one race, are available. Figure skating can now be performed with two characters on the same team, working simultaneously.
