SEGA of America has shared a new trailer for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. The trailer shows what kind of mini games you can enjoy alone and with friends in the game.
You’re sitting in the airport awaiting your flight to meet the relatives for the holidays. Suddenly, the screen above you flashes with those two dreaded words: FLIGHT DELAYED.
Sounds like the best time for a party, so long as you are prepared with a copy of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020! Sit back, grab a snack, and make a friend (or three), because competition awaits!Â
Here are five fun ideas to turn a frustrating flight delay into fun memories and new friends this holiday season:
- A Wah-tastic Win: Show off Wario’s perfect swimming technique in the pool and earn more gold medals than Michael Phelps.
