Team Mario

1. Rosalina [All Around]

Why: Thanks to her inclusion in some of the more recent games. I think it's about time we see her FINALLY compete in the Olympics, also I love to see all of the other members of Team Sonic being surprised. Granted Sonic has already met her in Smash 4, but his friends didn't meet her... Yet! (Also I would love to see the look on Shadow's face when he meets her! : 3)

2. Pauline [Skill]

Why: It was a three way toss up between her, Candy Kong and Mona from Wario Ware. But in the end I chose Pauline, despite the fact she has been around for a long time she's still hasn't been playable and I think it's about time they changed that. Come on Nintendo, let this girl shine baby shine!

3. Diddy Kong [Speed]

Why: Bowser Jr. got to be in the Olympics, so why not Diddy too? Also do you ever notice in most of the Mario sports games, whenever Bowser Jr. is playable so is Diddy? It's almost like they're rivals or something?

4. King K. Rool *Wild Card* [Power]

Why: Now I know what everybody is thinking... "But Mpnagem89, you HATE K. Rool, why would you want this guy to be in a game that you enjoy playing so much?" Well I did mention that I wanted throw in a wild card for each team and this being it? Plus it would be rather amusing to see him compete along side Bowser, not to mention he has been in a Mario Sports game before. (Super Sluggers anyone?)

Team Sonic

1. E-123 Omega [Power]

Why: We already have one robot competing in Team Sonic so why not another? It was either this or Big the Cat so take you pick! Oh and don't worry about Omega when it comes to the water based events, if Metal Sonic can handle it so can this robotic juggernaut. (Mighty was also a considered choice as well though I doubt Sega would be crazy enough to bring him back just for this game.)

2. Jet the Hawk [Speed]

Why: It's been five years since we seen him as a playable character and I think it's about time we see him again. Plus I think he needs to take a break from riding on Extreme Gears and start showing us that he's more than just a Tony Hawk wannabe. Although I'm pretty sure Sonic would most likely object to that, good thing he's not real right?

3. Rouge the Bat [Skill]

Why: You most likely saw this coming from a mile away. Like most fans and even those who never played the Mario and Sonic at the Olympics series, I too want her to be playable not just because we need more girls it's also because like Jet (and Omega to a degree), it's been quite a while since we seen her playable in anything past Free Riders.

4. Sticks the Badger *Wild Card* [All Around]

Why: Before you ask, yes she did appear in a Sonic game. Yeah Shattered Crystal and Rise of Lyric weren't exactly perfect but they were far from the worst, also most of the fans did like the TV show myself included. Not to mention it would rather funny to see her reaction when she finds out that she's competing in the games with those that bear a striking resemblance to her friends back home. Plus if they do a story mode, it would be funny to see her interacting with the other characters especially her own teammates. Yes, but Sonic Boom is in an alternate universe, it could never work until, you know, Sega contradicts themselves yet again.
