{{media missing}}

All 21 playable characters from previous games in the series return. Additionally, 20 new playable characters (10 new ''Super Mario'' characters and 10 new ''Sonic'' characters) are added, for a total of 41 playable characters. Among the new playable characters, many of them were Rivals from prior games in the ''Mario & Sonic'' series. Similarly to the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', characters are only playable in certain events, with the exceptions of [[Mario]], [[Sonic]], and [[Mii]] characters (who are playable in all events). All the other returning characters are exclusive to both the Olympic and Plus versions of two events each, while the new characters are only available for both the Olympic and Plus versions of one. There are 7 playable characters in each event: 3 from Team Mario, 3 from Team Sonic, and Mii.

|A Golden Gauge appears on the top, and when enough button presses are made, the environment changes, with changes to the floor and button tracks depending on the song. In the ''Super Mario''-themed song, the floor will turn gold and [[Green Shell]]s and [[Bullet Bill]]s will occasionally fly along the track. In the ''Sonic''-themed song, the floor will become checkered and the buttons will sometimes resemble rings, while the track resembles the loops from the classic ''Sonic'' games. Farandole cannot be selected in the Plus version of this event.

The game features a Road to Rio mode that is similar to the Adventure Tours in the DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' and the Castle Club in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and is divided in two stories, Mario's Story and Sonic's Story, with the Mii joining either Mario's Gym or Sonic's Gym and participating each of the 7 days to the preliminaries and the finals of a main event, the latter of which are against a trainer of the opposing gym. The player can freely explore the areas, where the venue of the main event or the bus stop to reach the area where the main event is held, Training Gyms, shops, non playable characters, unlockable characters, treasure chests and ? crates can be found. Training Gyms are used to train for the main events, by playing an event from the 3DS version of [[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'']]. After training, the players gains Apples and Training Points. The former are used to buy outfits at the Light-Blue Yoshi Outfit Shop that increase the Mii's stats, the latter are used to [[level up]] and gain stars that are needed to wear outfits. Treasure chests contain costumes or musical instruments, while ? crates contain melons that can be used to buy gear at the Yellow Yoshi Gear Shop that slightly alter the gameplay of the main events. Both of them can be hidden and appear only when the player is nearby. The unlockable characters can be unlocked by beating them at a Plus version of the main event after the preliminaries of said event have been passed. Finally, there is an optional subplot involving the contrast between Mario's gym and Sonic's gym and the disappearance of Mario, Sonic, and the medals from the Hall of Medals, that the player can follow to reach the true ending of each story, where it's revealed that Bowser and Dr. Eggman hypnotized two boys in Mario and Sonic costumes to steal the medals and spread rumors that one of the two gyms did it. Mario and Sonic go into hiding to foil the villains' plans, and together with the player, they defeat the two and reclaim the medals. Afterwards, the ''Super Mario'' and ''Sonic'' characters and Miis participate in the {{wp|Rio Carnival}}.
