About this game
After years of "who is the best" speculation among fans, Mario and Sonic finally meet up to see who is the best! Set in the Beijing 2008 Olympics, Mario, Luigi, Peach, and friends go head to head with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and their group in a sports competition through various Olympic events.
Among the participants, players can even include their custom Miis from their Wii system.

Each character has different sets of attributes; these attributes give certain characters a slight advantage over others in particular events.
For instance, Sonic is usually better at running than other characters.
Though, it is possible to beat him with anyone.
Gameplay is similar to Wii Sports , as there are several arcade style mini games that players can compete against up to three of their friends.
Among the events are: skeet shooting, fencing, 100m and 400m dash, swimming, gymnastics, rowing, archery, table tennis, and many more that are unlocked through play as the video athletes earn medals, badges, and crowns.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games uses the Wii Remote (and Nunchuk for certain events) that can roughly mimic the various physical motions of the games.
Players can post their best records and times online via the Wi-Fi connection to see how they fare against other players.
About Nintendo Wii
Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Beijing 2008), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
