Talk:Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games/Archive 1

I'd like to see proof that half of those characters are in game. As far as I'm aware everyone from team Sonic apart from Amy and Vector have been confirmed.

Also, we don't need the Mario characters mentioned really. :/ Xeric 22:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes we do, they are playable characters in the game.  Myself 123  22:02, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, the current write-up we've got is a disgrace. It doesn't tell us anything. It needs improving, even with the limited info we've got that can be done.CBFan 07:27, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

sadly, there's no info right now.  Myself 123  12:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Then we need to add a list of characters that are confirmed to be in the game


 * Wasn't there a video on this article at one point? Now I've tidied it all up, it seems to me it could do with the vid. But I can't seem to find said vid anywhere in the histories... Molten Scandium 20:11, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I have the link to the video saved ito my YT account.
 * Also, here are some scans of a preview from a magazine, if they prove useful past what we already have.
 * It's difficult gathering info, and writing a decent article for a game that has so little info. Personally, at the time, the most I think we can do, is the source the characters.... SLJCOAAATR  the SNN Admin  Careful, it's a Faradox 20:20, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * So Waluigi isn't in? I swore he was in the first one.

he was...and since it has all the originals in it,waluigi and garlicbreath will be there--Meowmix5 03:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)meomwix5,artemisfanmy world

Vector
Has vector been comfirmed yet?  Myself 123  21:01, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, not yet. SLJCO AAATR 4 6 8 15 16 23 42 108 305 316  21:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Vector has been confirmed, indirectly. All the characters from the original game will be returning. If Vector wasn't included, that wouldn't be "all" of them. CBFan 06:36, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Source?  SLJCO  AAATR  So  ul  19:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I read it on Wikipedia, who had a link to IGN, who stated it in their hands-on-preview of the game. It says, and I quote, "All of the characters from the first game will be returning, as well as some new faces to be revealed at a later time". CBFan 05:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Aight. Thanks.  SLJCO  AAATR  So  ul  14:55, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I've just seen a pic of Amy on IGN.  Myself  123  08:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Silver
I would really like to see Silver in this game after he was left out of the first Olympic Games game.

Definately!!! I would buy it.

Mario Vs Sonic
Now i know it isn't confirmed, but isn't it safe to say that Sonic and Mario will be rivals? I can't imagine that it'll be anyone else.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  22:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Well......In MASATOG, Yoshi was Sonic's rival. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  22:25, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * wha? i thought tails was yoshis rival.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  23:05, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "FWA-WHA-WHA-WHA-WHA". Waluigi was Tails'. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:15, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Wha? somthing tells me ds 'n' Wii have different rivals, this could be a problem.  Myself  <font color="Black">123  14:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't you know ANYTHING? Waluigi's rival was clearly Dr Eggman. Besides, "rivals" were only extensively used in the DS version. CBFan 09:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ?...Maybe I'm getting things mixed up. I have both versions, but haven't played in a while. Perhaps I'm mixing things up... :S <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  22:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll handle this! SLJ, you are making things up! Just because Yoshi is a good runner like Sonic is, doesn't mean they're rivals! (You fans make things so stupid)


 * Sonic's rival was Mario
 * Tails rival was Yoshi
 * Knuckles rival was Wario
 * Blaze's rival was Daisy
 * Shadow's rival was Luigi
 * Amy's rival was Peach
 * Dr. Eggman's rival was Bowser
 * Vector's rival was Waluigi

That's it! It's simple!-- 58SlugDrones! 'I WILL SHOOT YOU INTO AN OBLIVION!'  14:40, September 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'd say Shadow and Wario would be rivals, as well as Knuckles and Luigi or Yoshi, Tails and Yoshi or Luigi, Vector and Waluigi, and Eggman and Bowser. They could have patched things up over +2 years.

What!?
Yoshi's rival wasn't Sonic in MASATOG!? It's Mario who was Sonic's rival.-- FreakyBlackDoom58 'If You Wanna See Sonic Ever Again Then Serve Me..Times Running Short'  10:19, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Big?
Where is the proof that Big is in the game? Twilightwizard0309 19:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I was at the MarioWiki and read that Big was gonna be in the game. Since it's "Mario & Sonic", I don't see why they would lie about it.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 18:04, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Metal Sonic
Isn't having Metal Sonic in the game kinda cheating cuz he's not organic? <font color="#000080">Shadic <font color="#000000">the  <font color="#000080">Hedgehog  19:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Mii?
Before I remove it, could someone remind when Mii's were confirmed? I don't believe that they have been... :S <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  21:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The Miis are gonna be in this game. They were in the prequel, weren't they? Yes they were. They don't have to be confirmed if they've been in the prequel.

Digipower the Orange Cat/Clawz
 * When they said all characters were returning, I assumed they meant the Mario & Sonic cast, not the Mii's. I'll let it stay for now, but if they show up in anything soon, they should be removed. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  23:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Screen shots and artwork section
Why do the screen shots and character art need to be combined into one? it looks so unorganized. And what's wrong with putting the character's name below their picture?
 * Throwing them into seperate parts looks quite messy to me. Why do we even need an image gallery? Also, having their names is also irrelevant. I mean, they're names are already all over the place as it is. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  20:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know, I can see an up-side to having their names simply written out below the picture. It's unlikely, but if this page was the first a person had ever seen of Sonic or Mario, then it might be nice for them to see what each character looked like. -- Supermorff 21:19, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Bleh. I'm not too sure. I guess we could talk more about it once we get the article a little more stabalized. <font color="#BF00FF"> SLJCO <font color="#CCFF00"> AAATR <font color="#6050DC"> So <font color="#C71585"> ul  21:22, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I believe throwing a bunch of pictures together without captions looks messy and not very appealing for people seeking information. An image gallery is totally necessary. A page feels incomplete and dull without one. -- sonictoast 9:54, 13 June 2009

Big???
Why is Big the Cat on the list. As far as I know he hasn't been confirmed and there hasn't even been a screen of him yet. -- Speed dasher

Silver's the same, and no-one has tried to take him off the list.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 14:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

There is a screen shot that has a Silver Flag in the background indicating that he is in the game. There has not been any hard evidence of Big being in the game yet. --sonictoast 9:53, 15 June 2009

Show me this flag then (I'm not good at finding details), and I'll believe you. Also, as I said before, I read it at the MarioWiki. So how about this: We leave Big up there (for now), and when the game comes out, or definate information reveals whether or not Big is in the game, we'll take care of it then. How's that for a compramise? I don't like having to repeatedly put him back up there, and this is a temperary solution.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 19:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hate to break it to ya, but the Mario Wiki hasn't had Big on their list for about a month now. To see the flag, just click on the first screen shot of Tails skiing right here on the Sonic news network Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games page. Look at all the flags on the left, right behind Robotnik's flag you will see one of Silver.

1. Can ya please sign. 2, It doesn't really matter since I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE CLUE HOW TO EDIT THIS THING NOW! Whenever I try to click the Source button, it moves! can someone fix this, please!--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 20:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

****!!
Alright, Big's gonna have to wait!! I tried to edit the page, and now it's messed up! I tried to edit it the old way, but the source button kept flickering away when I clicked, so I had to try to improvise. When I tried to click the edit/add link(?) button, but it flickered too! So I gave up and just saved, and now it, well.....you'll see when you look at the article. THIS WAS NOT INTENTIONAL, AND I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY. So, as proven, I don't know how to edit with this new "easier" system, so can someone please fix this (and tell me how the heck I work this editing), so that we can take up the 'Big debate' (just realized that that actually has a pun if you think about it ^_^) once more. Once again, I take full responsibility.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 02:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

No worries bro. someone can just hit undo and the article will go back to how it was.--sonictoast

Big.
Well, looks like the Big thing (another pun!) is over, since the article is blocked. Also, I guess Silver stays, even though I couldn't see anything when I looked at the screenshot, and is still called a rumor. Still, Big would be a logical addition since the Mario team has Donkey Kong (smack me silly if he's not in 'power' division). Still, pointless now.--97.115.118.77 14:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Uh, Sunny, what about Sonic's superspeed, Tails' ability to fly, and Knuckles' superstrength? Those would be against the rules to, wouldn't they? Also, I won't believe it until the flag image is more clearly shown, clearly showing Silver's icon, or something official comes out saying so.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 02:28, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

i know,i was just playin around.i really hope he is in the game though--Sunny the Hedgehog 02:36, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

I just realized something. SEGA is known for some jokes, right? Then what if the Silver pic is a prank? It's not coming out for around four months, so while Silver doesn't sound too bad, we should be wary. Same for Big, and any other supposed characters.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 15:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, If I zoom in as far as I can, it looks more like Jet the Hawk than Silver. However, the image is still fuzzy, so I'm not sure.--Kagimizu-Seeya 'round~ 21:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Another Character
Actually,Silver is not the only character to be rumored to appear bacause of is flag,another character is rumored to appear,and it's Bowser Jr..

Look,there a picture,at the right,there is a flag that look like Bowser jr.(you can also see Metal Sonic's flag at the left).(Also,sorry if I posted something about Mario,I just wanted to share it with you) (Sorry for the bad quality,I take it from a video)Sambiss Talk



Yup, that is deffinately Bowser Jr.'s Flag, so I guess he's in. But I still say Silver isn't a sure thing! Show me a pic like that, and I'll be convinced, but until then, I'm going to say it's still a rumor.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500"> 'round ~ 18:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

...What do you think has taken up most of this Talk Page!? People are just trying to find out if Silver is in it right now, and then there are these new characters you bring up, so someone's gonna look over pictures with hawk-eyes, and put up every picture that has the slightest chance of showing a new character or their flag.

A VIP character is just simply a cameo character. They send you a mail and tell you to look for them. When you see them, you get an extra 100 Star Token. When you do this with Birdo and Big the Cat, you also get their costumes. Magiciandude 02:41, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Mario Voice actors
So I finally just got this game the other day and something seems weird with the Mario characters and their voices. They just don't seem the same as they are in all the Mario games (especially Toad).
