The game is officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) through exclusive license International Sports Multimedia.

Brawl respectively. It was released on the Wii and the Nintendo DS in October 2009, and is the first official video game of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Players can assume the role of a Mario or Sonic character while competing against the others in these events.
