1* Uh... HELLO?! MARIO AND SONIC! '''[[CueTheFlyingPigs TOGETHER!!!]]''' Need we say more?
2** The date it was announced made people think it was just an April Fool's joke. That's how unbelievable it was.
3* Some of the Dream Events can make for some amazing scenes:
4** Facing [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Perfect Chaos]] in the Dream Figure Skating event can count for some; the impact of this moment depends on which characters are used.
5** Mario and Sonic [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy riding a launch star, soaring through space together, and teaming up against Dino Piranha]] in Dream Spacewalk? ''Yes.''
6* The opening to the three games is this, but especially Knuckles gets at least one in all of them. (Throwing the javelin in the climax of the first Olympics, out-maneuvering Bowser and Waluigi in a hockey match in Vancouver, and keeping the soccer ball away from Bowser, Vector and '''''SHADOW''''' in 2012)
7* In the Mario & Sonic London 3DS' story mode, Princess Peach and Blaze demonstrate some royal authority and badassery, fighting off Phantasmal Fog Imposters in Hyde Park and rescuing Daisy and Amy.
8* The bad guys get one In London 3DS' story mode. Bowser and Dr. Eggman show off how CrazyPrepared they were by creating their [[ActuallyADoombot own fog duplicates]] to throw the other characters off the trail. Eggman also installed ''holograms'' of his fog machines.
9* The finale of the ''Rio 2016'' 3DS version's story mode is this. Finding all of the secrets on either path will take you to an awesome story mode ending. You, Sonic, and Mario take out Bowser and Dr. Eggman with the respective attacks consisting of you using Mario's/Sonic's ability. Then, Bowser and Eggman disappear with a TwinkleInTheSky.
10** Before that, during Day 7, finding all other secrets prior to Day 7 in Sonic's story will net you a cutscene which shows you and Jet entering the base via Jet's lock-breaking skills. Then, you destroy the machine that was used to control the two boys wearing Sonic and Mario outfits.
11* The Treeside Rumble minigame in ''Tokyo 2020'' has an [[LetsGetDangerous aggressive-looking]][[BadassAdorable -yet-still-adorable]] Tails punching, kicking, and knocking Larry's Shy Guys off their feet, which is a pretty epic moment to witness.
12* At one point in Tokyo's story mode, Luigi steps up to face Zavok. Not in just any Olympic event, but BOXING! Note that this is the one who can guard against a Homing Attack from Super Sonic! Luigi really will do anything to get his brother back.
13* Dream Karate in Tokyo 2020 also doubles as funny. You literally kick the crap out of each other with punches, kicks, and throws. Play as tiny and slim girls like Princess Peach and Daisy and witness the capability of lifting guys like DK and Bowser and judo tossing them across the ring, taking MusclesAreMeaningless to greater levels.
14* In the climax of ''Tokyo 2020'''s story mode, the game battery dies just as an escape route is opened, and there's only a split second to exchange it with a new battery before everyone trapped in the game ceases to exist. Despite the odds and an apparent failure, Luigi saves everyone.
15* Even though ''Vancouver 2010'' was released two years after Creator/MaddieBlaustein passed away, she truly sounds like Jon St. John and Jeff Kramer as Omega and does a far better job as the robot than in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''.
