#MARIO AND SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES ISO PPSSPP SKIN#
Jagged edges, blank stares and weirdly shaded skin abounds, with the humanoid characters in particular looking somewhat off. It isn’t that Mario & Sonic is a bad looking game, it just doesn’t look fantastic. Which is to say that the models in those two games look significantly better than in this game.
Specifically, games like Super Mario Odyssey and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, which give you a clear benchmark to measure the Nintendo models in this game against. Visually, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 almost feels like a victim of the other amazing games we’ve seen on the Switch so far. As my time was spent playing the game pre-release, I wasn’t able to really get online with the game and see if there is any latency or lag in network play, so I’m unable to comment on that. While it isn’t a deal breaker, the ability to create custom playlists would have been welcome. My one issue with the events is that there’s no way to queue up multiple events or create a playlist instead, if you want to change events, you have to jump back to the selection screen and deal with the load times that come with that. I felt that a couple of the events, such as Football and Rugby-7s, were a bit too long for my liking, but most other events are relatively short, making sure you can fit in a great variety during a short amount of time. For example, while the 100m Sprint has you mashing buttons to get the fastest time as you look on from a side on view, Archery has you behind your character’s back aiming at a target while accounting for distance and the wind.
Each separate event is unique mechanically and visually, making sure that you’re never lacking in variety. This is where Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 really shines. If you’re in the mood for some frantic multiplayer mini-game action, then this is definitely the game for you, with a total of 34 different 3D and 2D Olympic sports for you and your friends to take part in. While Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 isn’t quite worthy of a gold medal, it does manage to make it to the podium. And yet, here we are with once bitter rivals Nintendo and Sega bringing Mario and Sonic together for the sixth time to partake in some manic Olympics action. If you went back to the 1990s and told people that Mario and Sonic would eventually co-star in a collection of sports mini-games, how many do you think would believe you? I certainly don’t think it would be many.
