With the 2012 Summer Olympic Games scheduled to begin in London this July, Sega has returned with its mini-game collection starring iconic mascots Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario. VGBlogger.com reviews the Wii version here.

On the Wii, Mario and Sonic’s latest venture into waggle athletics is divided into two categories. The 21 Olympic events are whimsical renditions of real competitions, such as 100m sprints, hurdles, relay races, long jump, freestyle and synchronized swimming, uneven bars, soccer, table tennis, fencing, beach volleyball, hammer, discus and javelin throw and so on, each getting players up and active, thrusting, twisting and flicking their Wii Remotes in hopes of achieving gold medal glory. (All games can be played with just a remote, but some offer optional support for Wii-mote and Nunchuk.) Then there are 10 Dream Events, which put creative and outlandish twists on these traditional Olympic activities. More on those later.
