Each of the unlockable characters are playable in one event (both its Olympic and Plus versions) exclusive to that character with no overlaps and no events skipped. Characters are unlocked by beating them in Road to Rio on the Plus version of the main event of that day after winning at the preliminaries. This is the first game in the series to feature unlockable playable characters (indicated by an *). There are 7 playable characters in each event: 3 from Team Mario, 3 from Team Sonic, and Mii. All the other returning characters are exclusive to both the Olympic and Plus versions of two events each, while the new characters are only available for both the Olympic and Plus versions of one. Similarly to the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, characters are only playable in certain events, with the exceptions of Mario, Sonic, and Mii characters (who are playable in all events). Among the new playable characters, many of them were Rivals from prior games in the Mario & Sonic series.
Additionally, 20 new playable characters (10 new Mario characters and 10 new Sonic characters) are added, for a total of 41 playable characters.
We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.Īll 21 playable characters from previous games in the series return. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on.
