About

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is a sports title developed by Sega Sports R&D and released in 2013 exclusively for the Wii U. The fourth entry in the Mario & Sonic crossover series, it centers on the 2014 Winter Olympics held in Sochi, Russia, offering a range of winter events including skiing, figure skating, and curling. Alongside faithful recreations of official Olympic competitions, the game incorporates fantastical events set within the worlds of Mario and Sonic, consistent with the series' tradition. Controls vary by event, making use of the Wii Remote Plus, the Wii U GamePad, or a combination of both peripherals. Because the game is a Wii U exclusive, it marks a first for the series in having no accompanying handheld version.
