The Olympic Games are fast approaching but moving even quicker is Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Many favorite characters from both historic franchises compete in a series of athletic competitions to see which team is best.

In a brand new trailer for the game we see mascots from both sides playing rugby, soccer, volleyball and more. There are fun ways to change up the rules as well as multiplayer options with your own friends and teammates. You can even use amiibo figures to have a little more fun.

Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is available now for the 3DS and will be available later this month for the Wii U. And be sure to catch the actual Olympics this August to see your country's leading plumbers and hedgehogs compete.
