Knuckles and Sonic get it on

If it weren't for all the other crazy news coming out of Japan right now, we would be tempted to call this Mario & Sonic week. Every time we turn around, it seems like we're seeing new bits from their upcoming joint Olympics title. Not that we're complaining, though -- not when it means we get to see Yoshi's stats and Knuckles and Sonic trying to poke each other with pointy objects. We can only guess it's Sonic's year to kick ass and take names. Check out the updated gallery below for the latest images from the game!

Mario and Sonic joined by Mii at the Olympics

Hey, guess what? I'm going to be in Mario & Sonic at the Olympics! Yes, that's right, my very own Mii will be included in the cast of characters set to strut their stuff in a variety of different events when the game releases next month. In fact, you're just as lucky as me, as your Mii will be included in the game, as well. Don't you feel special? We certainly do.

Sega announced that the upcoming game will include full support of Miis. So, if you want to know how you'd do in the 5K against Sonic, then feel free to give it a go.

Luigi goes for the gold in Tails Stabbing

The latest screens from Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games show us some more of the game's twenty events. Like this one, in which Cream the Rabbit is forced to stand in the sidelines and watch as two idiots fence with no protective gear on-- in Tails' case, no gear at all. Fencing without a facemask or armor? That's just called stabbing.

We also see Tails excelling in what we assume is the trampoline event, in which players push buttons in a prescribed sequence to make Tails flop around in the air in a controlled manner.

Twenty (!) separate events are planned for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and it looks like we'll be partaking in a variety of traditional summer games with our favorite mascots. Events range from Archery to Rowing to Table Tennis, with a little something for everyone. Siliconera reports that this list is not complete -- that two events are still missing of the twenty -- but if the various race lengths in the Track events are counted separately, then this could be the full list. However, Mike Hayes of Sega Europe mentioned the inclusion of judo earlier this year, so there may well be two other unconfirmed events. Curious about the current list? Race past the jump and check it out.

Sonic takes the lead at the Olympic Games

It is about damned time we see Sonic living up to his full and speedy potential in screens for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. That's not all there is to see in our updated gallery, but it's certainly the one thing that caused us to breathe a sigh of relief. These new shots also offer up a glimpse of character stats, and while Sonic certainly leads on speed, our favorite tubby plumber looks like a solid choice in anything.

How's the Olympic-themed mascot game strike you? Are you as excited as zee Germans were in Leipzig?
