Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020

Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is the sixth installment of the Mario & Sonic series, based on the real 2020 Summer Olympics that will be held in Tokyo, Japan. The game includes a number of competitions, including those already known from previous Mario & Sonic titles, such as boxing, soccer, swimming and gymnastics, and new ones, such as karate, skateboarding, sports climbing and surfing. There will also be a 2D events mode where players can compete in classic 2D versions of disciplines from the 1964 Summer Olympics. In a nod to older sports games, these events are played using button controls only and there are only eight playable characters. The animations of these 2D events reflect the style of the 8-bit Mario and 16-bit Sonic games.
