All told, the game includes three gameplay modes. Single Match Mode lets players choose one specific event to play, Circuit Mode lets players choose from a series of events, and Mission Mode involves a series of solo challenges that test players’ athletic capabilities, timing and reflexes. In the digital sense, of course.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games uses the Nintendo DS’ wireless capabilities and offers multiplayer challenges for up to four players.
