Games Like Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Beijing 2008)

This game throws you into a wild Olympic-style tournament where Mario and Sonic team up with a whole cast of Nintendo and Sega favorites to race, jump, throw, and generally cause chaos across a variety of sports events. You can play as your favorite character from either universe and jump into events like sprinting, long jump, archery, and even a goofy version of bobsledding. The controls are simple but fun and the physics in the events feel just right to keep things zany without being frustrating. There's a real charm to the way the game mixes the whimsy of Mario with the speed of Sonic and throws it all into a competitive sports setting. You can play solo or with friends on the same console and the whole thing feels like a party game that just happens to have medals and timers. It's not deep or complex but it's packed with energy and a ton of laughs.
