Let's just be real for a minute here, honestly I think the companies might either be having more budget cuts or time constraints with this game. I'm sure that they wanted to add characters for more events, but, for the 3DS, I think that they had no choice but to limit the number of events as well as the characters they decided to introduce to the game ended up having limited animation. As for the Wii U version, I think that the creators had to recycle animation from the 3DS version in order to bring them to the Wii U version, as well as recycle animation from previous games for returning characters. As for Rouge, Toad, and Diddy having different events, they had just enough to give them new animations. As for the lack of Dream Events, they didn't have enough to put any in, given that they take place in a whole new environment outside of the Olympics so they had to compromise. Basically the locations may be new, but most of the animations are reused from previous games and couldn't be given to all of them, and the Dream Events were downsized in order to keep a level of fun.

I'm getting game because I enjoy the series regardless of limitations, and the company needs all the help it can get. As for those who say that they won't buy this game, think about it, SEGA is continually dropping in ratings because almost nobody is buying these games, and nobody is buying the games because there is not enough content, but if nobody is getting the games, how are they expected to make any sales in order to fund later games. If this keeps up, this is going to be what M&S Olympics are going to be like from now on, as well as other Sonic games. SEGA needs all the help it needs, which they won't get if they don't make any sales. Which is why I suggest that you just give each game a shot rather than judging them based on a lack of content, and hope that the sales make games in the future appeal to everyone, otherwise you can just say goodbye to SEGA. Honestly for this game you all should be happy that they didn't cut any characters, are on the verge of fully introducing new ones, introduced a few new events, kept M&S elements alive in the game, and are even able to keep this series around. I'm getting this game, both of them, and you should too just to keep it going.
