Template:Series-infobox The Mario & Sonic series is a collection of crossover sports games featuring characters from Nintendo's Mario series and Sega's Sonic series. These series marked the first time Mario and Sonic ever appeared together in a videogame.
The series began when Sega acquired the license to create videogames based on the Olympic Games, intending to create a version featuring characters from its well-known Sonic franchise. Due to the atmosphere of competitive sportsmanship the Olympics had to offer, Sega received approval by Nintendo to include Mario's characters in the game with Sonic. The series has been overall well-received by the media, mainly for being a crossover between Mario and Sonic, with the gameplay and multiplayer having been praised as well. However, it has been criticized for the choice of setting for both series, the Olympics, and the controls.
