Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games
A new 3DS game sees Mario and Sonic team up to compete in a whole range of different Olympic games. You can download to three other 3DS’s and play four players in each of the different events. There’s also a Pocket Marathon mode than uses the motion sensor in the 3DS to act like a pedometer and challenge people to get outside and get active.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
