Flight Delay = Mario & Sonic Party Time
Things like Flight Delayed for a gamer should never be a bother since many games are portable. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is one of those titles to help with that situation. If you are a Nintendo Switch user or a Switch Lite user you already have the advantage. Before our review comes out and if you are still not sure about picking up this title, we have some more details to cement your decision.
Mario and Sonic is Good Entertainment
We received an e-mail that is themed for flight delays it seems. It is funny because there are many scenarios where you are either at the DMV or in a waiting room. You just want to occupy your mind for a bit and why not, so here is a list of things to do for just those occasions when playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
- A Wah-tastic Win: Show off Wario’s perfect swimming technique in the pool and earn more gold medals than Michael Phelps.
- Relive the Glory Days: Bowser is surprisingly graceful on the diving platform, at least in his classic 2D form. Experience this swan of 8-bit glory leap off the high board with an elegant landing.
- Achieve Those Squad Goals: Pairing up Peach, Daisy, Amy, and Blaze the Cat as they run the pitch and stand tall on the podium in Football.
- Prove that Shadow is the Ultimate Lifeform: …On the beach by surfing those high waves!
- Our Main Event of the Evening: Find out who is pound-for-pound the greatest boxer on the roster with memorable match-ups: Peach vs. Bowser. Tails vs. Yoshi. Mario vs. Metal Sonic.
There are many possibilities that will entertain you and many players with the co-op features.
Features to keep an eye out for!
