18[[folder:Mario]]
19[[quoteright:310:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mario_rio20161.png]]
20Nintendo's world-famous mascot and the captain and face of Team Mario. Super Mario faces off and teams up with his rival-turned-friend Sonic The Hedgehog.
21----
22* BashBrothers: Not only with his brother, Mario forms a pretty powerful friendship and alliance with Sonic in Adventure Tours and London 3DS' story mode to stop Bowser and Dr. Eggman.
23* TheCaptain: Of his namesake team.
24* CharacterSelectForcing: In ''Vancouver 2010 DS'', only the mascot heroes are playable in the final showdown against the villains [[FinalBoss Bowser and Dr. Eggman]].
25* CommonalityConnection: Their names are in the title, and they are the team leaders and [[TheHero champions]] of their respective universes, it's no-brainer Mario would be buddies with Sonic the Hedgehog.
26* FriendlyRivalry: With Sonic the Hedgehog.
27* HeroicMime: He's Mario, it's to be expected. Since he doesn't talk, ''Toad'' tags along to speak for him. Come ''Rio'' and ''Tokyo 2020'', he forms a SilentBob dynamic with Sonic.
28* JackOfAllStats: Being the former TropeNamer, this is a given. He is an All-Around type and the most balanced character in the game.
29* HeadbuttingHeroes: With Donkey Kong, as a result of their long history together.
30* TheHero: In the series' story modes, he teams up with Sonic to solve the problem. In London 2012 ''3DS'', he, Sonic, Luigi, and Tails make up the ''Heroes Team''.
31* IntergenerationalFriendship: Mario is in his mid 20s and has a friendship/rivalry with Sonic, who is 15.
32* MundaneUtility: In ''Vancouver DS'', Only Mario can use pipes and mushrooms to navigate the field. In this case, use Mushrooms to turn into Mini Mario (The [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros special form]], not the [[VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong toy]]) and use his tiny size to pass small corridors and prevent falling through thin ice.
33* MythologyGag: Mario's Special Dash in the Athletic Events is the Star Spin Attack from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''.
34* PlayingWithFire: A lot of Mario's Special Moves revolve around this of course.
35* RedIsHeroic: It's ''Mario'' after all. His Red is a very fitting and contrasting counterpart to Sonic's [[BlueIsHeroic blue]].
36* TheRival: Against Sonic.
37* SiblingRivalry: According his and Luigi's flags in ''Rio Wii U'', the Bros. are competing to see which one of them can win the most medals in Rio.
38* TheSilentBob: Mario becomes this with Sonic come ''Rio'' and ''Tokyo'', due to the latter talking once more, beforehand, he was this with Toad.
39* TrappedInTVLand: Mario is trapped along with Bowser, Sonic, and Eggman in the Tokyo 1964 game system in ''Tokyo 2020''.
40* TrueCompanions: Mario has special victory animations with [[BashBrothers Luigi]], [[PowerUpMount Yoshi]], [[ImpliedLoveInterest Princess Peach]], Bowser, Donkey Kong and [[FriendlyRivalry Sonic]] in ''Sochi 2014''. Though, in the case of [[BigBad Bowser]] and [[TheRival DK]], it's not so friendly. Mario also has a special animation with Toad in Rio Wii U.
41* WrongGenreSavvy: In London 2012 3DS, when Mario, Luigi, and Toad learn that Bowser and his goons are involved in the latest diabolical scheme, they quickly search for Peach in Hyde Park not only to find her absolutely fine, but she has also already taken care of the problem herself. Thank you, Mario, but your Princess has already saved herself.
42[[/folder]]
43
44[[folder:Luigi]]
45The other famous Super Brother, the Green Machine Luigi joins the group to help lead Team Mario to victory.
46----
47* BashBrothers: With Mario (of course).
48* CharacterSelectForcing: In Vancouver 2010's Adventure Tours. As the group meets up with King Boo in Polastraits, the ghost king boasts that he'll only face someone who's scared of ghosts. Of course, [[ArchEnemy King Boo]] eggs on [[ButtMonkey poor Luigi]], who isn't thrilled to face him.
49* CommonalityConnection: Luigi and Tails are the signature sidekicks and [[TheLancer lancers]] to the good guys. Naturally, it was only fitting for them to be best buds.
50* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Tokyo 2020'' is ultimately about Luigi's attempt to rescue his brother, friends, and enemies from Eggman's game system.
51* FaceYourFears: Luigi faces down a gang of Boos in ''Vancouver DS'', in order to take back the key they stole.
52* HappyDance: Luigi ''breakdances'' whenever he wins an event, and he's very damn good at it. Enough to rival Sonic.
53* HeroicMime: Much like his brother, Luigi doesn't talk. So usually some other character is paired up with Luigi to speak for him, like Toad, Tails, or Charmy Bee.
54* JackOfAllStats: Like Mario, he's an All-Arounder. But compared to his brother who plays this straight, Luigi leans more towards speed.
55* TheHero: Luigi is a part of Team Heroes in London 2012 ''3DS'' alongside Mario, Sonic, and Tails.
56* IntergenerationalFriendship: Luigi's shown to be good friends with Tails, despite being almost twenty years older.
57* PlayingWithFire: Like Mario, only with Green Fire.
58* TheRival: Against Shadow.
59* SiblingRivalry: According his and Mario's flags in ''Rio Wii U'', the Bros. are competing to see which one of them can win the most medals in Rio.
60* TechnicolorFire: Luigi [[PlayingWithFire wields fire powers]] like his brother, but they're green instead of red.
61* TrueCompanions: Luigi has special victory animations with Mario and ''Tails'' in ''Sochi 2014''.
62* WrongGenreSavvy: In London 2012 3DS, when Mario, Luigi, and Toad learn that Bowser and his goons are involved in the scheme for to fog London, they quickly search for Peach in Hyde Park not only to find her and the others fine, but [[BadassAdorable she has also already taken care of the problem herself]].
63[[/folder]]
64
65[[folder:Peach]]
66The Princess from the Mushroom Kingdom has taken a break from getting kidnapped and will help Team Mario win the Olympics.
67----
68* ActionGirl: This is one of the spinoff series where Peach is portrayed as more independent than normal. Vancouver 2010's Adventure Tours shows she's really excellent in the Snow Machine Fight, so much that she's the only one who can partake in the event to win a Shooting Rifle for the Biathlon events. In London 3DS, she actually takes up the damsel-saving role. See below.
69* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Peach is consistently portrayed as [[GirlyGirl the most feminine cast member]] of the ''Mario'' series, and she wears a midriff-baring track uniform in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
70* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: In ''London 3DS'', Peach frees ''Rouge the Bat'' from her brainwashing by defeating her in a duel.
71* CharacterSelectForcing: In Vancouver DS, she can only be challenged (and ultimately recruited) if the player uses Mario. She will talk to Sonic, but will only ask him where Mario is.
72* CommonalityConnection: Princess Peach and Amy Rose pair up and get along very well, being the respective major girl characters of their series, as well as [[PinkIsFeminine pink]] being their signature colors.
73* DamselInDistress: Subverted in a funny way in London 2012 3DS. Mario, Luigi, and Toad freak out when they learn that Bowser is up to his usual tricks, they rush only [[WrongGenreSavvy to find Peach absolutely fine]]. Also inverted as Peach and Blaze actually play the role as heroes as they save Daisy and Amy Rose from Phantasmal Fog Impostors in Hyde Park.
74* HeartBeatDown: Peach's special moves revolve around this.
75* IntergenerationalFriendship: Peach is in her twenties and is shown to be good friends with Amy Rose, who is 12.
76* LetsGetDangerous: In ''London 3DS'', Peach with Blaze fight off the Fog imposters, who have them and the Toads surrounded.
77* LimitedAnimation: ''Severely'' limited. Her appearance in the Classic events in ''Tokyo 2020'' has Peach in her original sprite from ''Super Mario Bros'', with no animation frames at all.
78* TheLeader: Peach serves as one in London 3DS among the ''Girls'' group (and the Toads), with Blaze serving as her [[TheLancer lancer]].
79* LeotardOfPower: Peach wears this for swimming and gymnastics events.
80* MsFanservice: Thanks to her skin-tight sports gear (especially her leotard). Extra mention goes to her wetsuit in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
81* MythologyGag: Peach's special dash while playing Athletics is her special midair float from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''.
82* NiceGirl: A very sweet and friendly princess who is very kind and supportive of others. Peach uses her charm to cheer up a Thwomp blockade in Vancouver DS.
83* ThePowerOfLove: In Adventure Tours, Peach uses her sweet demeanor to butter up a Thwomp blockade in Frostown. Her charm actually causes it to let the group pass.
84* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Peach and Amy ''had'' Bowser and Dr. Eggman's invitations ready, but trusted two Toads to get it to them, but they end up losing them. Peach and Amy re-write the invitations, but don't get them to a visibly upset Bowser and Eggman on time, as they went off already, so Peach, Amy, Blaze, and Daisy figured they found the original invitations the Toads lost before. The result? The two villains feel slighted, get ticked, and plot their revenge by unleashing the [[OminousFog Phantasmal Fog]] on London, starting up all the crazy shenanigans]]. Whoops.
85* PrettyInMink: Alongside Princess Daisy, this is Peach's outfit in the Winter Games and the Equestrian events in London.
86* PrincessesPreferPink: It's her signature color of course. She just wouldn't be ''Peach'' if she didn't wear pink.
87* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Peach is the only female character for the Classic Events in Tokyo 2020.
88* TomboyishPonytail: Peach always has her long golden hair tied up in a ponytail, for obvious and practical reasons.
89* TookALevelInBadass: In ''London 3DS'', she actually saves Daisy and Amy from the Phantasmal Fog Impostors.
90* TrueCompanions: Peach has special victory animations with Mario, Daisy, and ''Amy Rose'' in ''Sochi 2014''.
91* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: See PoorCommunicationKills above. Peach and Amy would probably have been better served to make certain Bowser and Eggman received their invitations in ''London 3DS''.
92* WeakButSkilled: Skill-type. Peach isn't physically gifted, but she excels in technique and finesse, she's decently fast as well.
93[[/folder]]
94
95[[folder:Yoshi]]
96Mario's good dinosaur buddy. He takes on the Olympics with his great speed and excellent jumping prowess.
97----
98* HeroOfAnotherStory: Yoshi is the star of his [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland own series of games]].
99* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Even though Yoshi only talks in PokemonSpeak, the other characters have absolutely no problem understanding him.
100* {{Irony}}: Yoshi can ride horses in the Equestrian events. Considering how he was originally conceived as a PowerUpMount, Yoshi has really come full circle.
101* PokemonSpeak: Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!
102* OddFriendship: Yoshi and Silver are TrueCompanions, even through they have little to nothing in common.
103* OverlyLongTongue: It's Yoshi's signature trait of course. In ''Vancouver DS'', he uses his tounge to push buttons in a SimonSaysMinigame.
104* SuperSpeed: He's a Speed-type like Sonic. His stats are very heavily skewed towards acceleration over top speed, though, and he's not actually much faster than the All-Around (but slightly speed-focused) Luigi and Blaze.
105* TrueCompanions: Yoshi has special victory animations with Mario and ''Silver'' in ''Sochi 2014''
106* TheUnintelligible: Being Yoshi, he's doesn't really talk. The subtitles do that for him.
107[[/folder]]
108
109[[folder:Bowser]]
110The big bad King of the Koopas and Mario's eternal arch-enemy. He takes a break from princess kidnapping and goes for the gold instead. Of course, he wouldn't be [[CardCarryingVillain Bowser]] if he didn't cause ''some'' measure of trouble in the Olympics...
111----
112* ActuallyADoombot: In London 3DS, When cornered by Vector and Knuckles, it was revealed "he" was a fog impostor the entire time. The ''Real'' Bowser was stationed in the hideout the whole time.
113* AFatherToHisMen: London 3DS shows once again Bowser really cares about his minions. So much in fact that even when his minions try to cheer him up, Bowser plays along with it, and reveals to Bowser Jr. that he has been hiding a toothache to make them feel better. Awww!
114* AffectionateNickname: Just how strong is Bowser's [[VillainousFriendship friendship]] with Dr. Eggman? The Koopa King actually has a nickname for him, referring to him as "Eggy". Adorable.
115* ArchEnemy: To Mario, but his BigBadDuumvirate with Dr. Eggman forms an dual Arch Enemy ''team'' to both Mario and Sonic.
116* BaitAndSwitch: In Vancouver DS, once it looks like Mario and Sonic's Adventure is complete by freeing the last Snow Spirit, the Doc and Bowser capture Frosty and escape to Blizland.
117* BigBadDuumvirate: With Dr. Eggman. Their Dragons, Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic join them to form a LegionOfDoom.
118* BrainsAndBrawn: When they team up, he's the brawn to Eggman's brains.
119* CardCarryingVillain: Olympics or no Olympics, it's basically Bowser's job to cause trouble.
120* CommonalityConnection: The fuel behind his VillainousFriendship with Dr. Eggman. It's very easy to connect with a fellow villain who has an ArchEnemy just like you.
121* DivideAndConquer: His EvilPlan in ''Road to Rio''. To use the two Suit boys as an AppleOfDiscord to create a divide between the Mario and Sonic gyms, so he and Dr. Eggman can take over the Olympics unopposed.
122* EvilIsPetty: Not invited to the Olympics? Fog up London with the Phantasmal Fog and endanger the populace! [[spoiler:Though, it was all because of a misunderstanding.]]
123* ForTheEvulz: Why do the Bowser and Dr. Eggman kidnap the Snow Spirits in Vancouver? Why do they want to ruin the real olympics to start their own olympics? Because it's evil that's why.
124* GoKartingWithBowser: Duh, he's Bowser. Deliberately invoked in the ending of London 3DS, where right after getting their plans thwarted, Mario and Sonic don't bear a grudge and even vouch for him and Dr. Eggman to enter the Olympics.
125* LegionOfDoom: Formed with Dr. Eggman as well as Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic.
126* MenaceDecay: In Vancouver DS, Bowser is a straight up [[ForTheEvulz classic bad guy]], in ''London 3DS'', his villainy is merely petty revenge than outright malice. At least he's given a good excuse this time.
127* PlayingWithFire: Bowser uses his trademark fire breath to actually melt all the Snow in ''Vancouver DS''.
128* SoreLoser: In Road to Rio, Bowser has aspirations to win the first golf gold medal in 112 years, but when the player defeats him, he steals his/her medals and runs away.
129* StartMyOwn: A chief motivation for his villainy in the series. He teams up with Eggman to mess up the Olympics in Vancouver and London.
130* SuperStrength: Bowser is a Power-type character and one of the more balanced ones, allowing him to excel in all Power events.
131* TrappedInTVLand: In ''Tokyo 2020'', Bowser is one of the victims trapped inside the Tokyo 1964 game system.
132* TrueCompanions: Bowser has victory animations with Mario, Bowser Jr. (natch), and Dr. Eggman in Sochi 2014. [[ArchEnemy With Mario, though, it's not quite so friendly.]]
133* VillainousFriendship: In the Mario [=RPGs=], Bowser ''despises'' [[EvilVersusEvil other villain characters]] and never gets along with them, even ''himself''. But in the Olympics, Bowser is extremely cooperative and friendly with Dr. Eggman. Guess the Koopa King was taken in by the Doctor's incredible [[AffablyEvil charm]], or it could just be the two villains have [[CommonalityConnection quite a lot]] to relate to besides just being evil.
134* VillainTeamUp: Often teams up with Eggman to cause trouble.
135* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Leave it to the guy who started it all to do pull something like this. In ''Road To Rio'' Once the player's Mii defeats him on the final day, Bowser steals the player's medals and takes off.
136[[/folder]]
137
138[[folder:Daisy]]
139The energetic Tomboy Princess of Sarasaland and Peach's good friend.
140----
141* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: The second most prominent female cast member of the ''Mario'' series, who wears a midriff-baring track uniform in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, akin to her blonde counterpart's.
142* BerserkButton: In Vancouver DS' Adventure Tours, she REALLY doesn't take it well when one of Dr. Eggman's robots ruins a Freezalea flower patch that a Chao made especially for her in Icepeak, opting to chase it out herself.
143* TheBigGuy: Daisy is the fun-loving and energetic one of the ''Girls'' group.
144* CommonalityConnection: Daisy [[InvokedTrope invokes this]] on Blaze the Cat the moment she meets her in Vancouver DS. Blaze is a princess, and Daisy takes an instant liking to her because of this.
145* DamselInDistress: In London 2012 3DS, Daisy with Amy have a really bad run-in with Phantasmal Fog impostors and Peach and Blaze have to help them out.
146* FriendlyRivalry: With Blaze. Turns out, Daisy takes a lot of pride in being a princess, and takes a liking to Blaze just because of this fact.
147* GenkiGirl: Daisy is very energetic, and funloving. Not only that, but she loves hanging out with her friends and participating in the olympics.
148* GreenThumb: Falling in line with her flower motif, Daisy uses this in a lot of her special moves.
149* LeotardOfPower: Like Peach's, only yellow and orange. Daisy wears this for gymnastics and swimming.
150* MsFanservice: Daisy looks very attractive especially in her leotard in London 2012. Tokyo 2020 gives Daisy a wetsuit for Surfing events like her blonde counterpart.
151* NoIndoorVoice: Very energetic, very funloving and ''very'' loud.
152* PrettyInMink: Just like Peach, she wears a mink outfit for the Winter Olympics and the Equestrian events in London.
153* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Blaze's blue, whenever they're paired up.
154* SentIntoHiding: In ''Vancouver DS'', Daisy was practicing her figure skating in Blizland until the villains showed up and built their fortress. She put herself in hiding out of their sight and practiced in secret.
155* SnowballFight: Daisy chases away Kiki by throwing snowballs at it in ''Vancouver DS''.
156* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She may be energetic and lively, but Daisy ''really'' appreciates beautiful flowers.
157* TrueCompanions: With Peach and Blaze in ''Sochi 2014''
158* SuperSpeed: She's a speed-type character. Much like Yoshi, she has more balanced stats compared to the other Speed characters however.
159[[/folder]]
160
161[[folder:Wario]]
162Mario's very greedy and twisted counterpart.
163----
164* {{Acrofatic}}: If his own series didn't attest to that enough already. Wario is quite the athlete with very good stamina.
165* AntiHero: Wario doesn't really care that Bowser and Dr. Eggman are trying to ruin the Olympic Games with the [[OminousFog Phantasmal Fog]] until he learns their evil scheme is interfering with his [[SeriousBusiness snack business]], at which point, he gladly volunteers to help out the good guys.
166* {{Fartillery}}: In Vancouver DS, Wario puts his explosive gas to good use to stop a Chain Chomp blockade in Blizland.
167* FatAndSkinny: With Waluigi, he's the fat, and Waluigi's the skinny.
168* HeroOfAnotherStory: Like DK and Yoshi, Wario stars in his [[VideoGame/WarioLand very own series]] [[VideoGame/WarioWare of games]].
169* MaliciousMisnaming: Wario clearly has no respect for Dr. Eggman, as he refers to him as ''Dr. Egghead''.
170* MoneyFetish: Naturally, He's Wario.
171* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Wario's sole motivation to coming to London in the 3DS version. He wants to open up a snack business to sell concessions at ridiculous prices.
172* RecurringBoss: He and Waluigi are this in ''Vancouver DS''. You encounter them twice before you can recruit them.
173* ShockAndAwe: Wario's special move in Boxing in Rio 2016 is a powerful hook, delivered with sparkling electricity.
174* ShutUpHannibal: In London 3DS, Wario and Waluigi pull a pretty good one on Dr. Eggman when the Doc tries to pull a NotSoDifferentRemark by calling out Wario and Waluigi on their greed.
175-->'''Dr. Eggman''': It's just one moneymaking scheme after another with you greedy nitwits, isn't it?''
176-->'''Waluigi''': You are one to talk! Always with the evil plots, you!''
177-->'''Wario''': Yeah! Compared to ''you'', we're angels!
178* StoneWall: Wario is a Power-Type character who isn't the fastest or even the strongest. Wario's edge is his stamina. He'll just outlast you instead.
179* SuperStrength: As a Power-type character. Wario usually isn't the fastest or the strongest. He excels more in stamina, giving him an edge in endurance events.
180* ThoseTwoGuys: With Waluigi.
181* TrueCompanions: With Waluigi and Knuckles in ''Sochi 2014''.
182* WeWillMeetAgain: Him and Waluigi are encounted twice over the course of ''Vancouver DS''. The first time in Polastraits, where they run away afterwards, but again in Icepeak, where they join the team for good this time.
183[[/folder]]
184
185[[folder:Waluigi]]
186An oddball character who sees himself as Luigi's rival.
187----
188* AntiHero: Waluigi was initially uninvolved and uninterested in Bowser and Dr. Eggman's plan until Metal Sonic [[BerserkButton breaks his invention, the Waluigiscopes]]. At which point, he teams up with Wario to wage war against the Doctor.
189* BlackAndGreyMorality: When Wario and Waluigi go after Dr. Eggman in London 3DS. Dr. Eggman [[NotSoDifferentRemark even lampshades it]], calling the pair a bunch of crooks and really no better than he is, and in some cases ''worse''. Wario and Waluigi of course are [[ShutUpHannibal having none of it]].
190* BrilliantButLazy: He's very intelligent and knows how to make machines, but is also unwilling to get down and dirty in his feats of mischief.
191* CripplingOverspecialization: Waluigi possess the highest skill stat in the game, but subpar in everything else.
192* CutLexLuthorACheck: Possesses a great talent for gadgets, but only uses it for petty mischief.
193* GadgeteerGenius: Turns out, Waluigi is a brilliant inventor, as he can build scopes and binoculars, unfortunately, he only uses his talent just for ''spying on Luigi''.
194* InsaneTrollLogic: In ''London 3DS'': "With these Waluigiscopes, Waluigi will spy on Luigi like a hawk and learn all of his weaknesses. Then, when Waluigi finally beats Luigi, he will be the number one superstar of the world! Wa ha ha!"
195* KeepingTheEnemyClose: Waluigi's (along with Wario's) motivation for finally joining Mario and Sonic in Vancouver DS, of course, they don't really do much with it afterwards, and become steadfast allies all the way.
196* LivingLieDetector: Waluigi is such a cunning sneak by himself, he himself can easily spot deception. In Vancouver DS, Waluigi proves this by seeing through a Shy Guy's lies and exposes what he is hiding in Cubyrinth, allowing the group to continue.
197* SquishyWizard: Waluigi typically has the highest skill of all the characters in the game, but everything else ranges from mediocre to not good.
198* StalkerWithoutACrush: ''London 3DS'' reveals that Waluigi actually is this to Luigi. He even invented ''Waluigiscopes'' just for the purpose of doing so.
199* TheRival: He sees himself as this to Luigi, though it's [[UnknownRival very unlikely Luigi has ever noticed]].
200* ThirdPersonPerson: Waluigi is so important, Waluigi has no need for pronouns!
201* ThisMeansWar: Waluigi goes after Metal Sonic for accidentally breaking his Waluigiscopes in London 3DS.
202* TrueCompanions: With Wario and Shadow in ''Sochi 2014''
203* TokenEvilTeammate: Not ''evil'' per se, but Waluigi is definitely a jerk and sneaky.
204* WeakButSkilled: As usual, Waluigi is a Skill/Technique-type. He has the highest technique of all the characters, although he's also among the slowest and the weakest.
205* YouJustToldMe: Waluigi pulls a very good one on a sneaky Shy Guy in Vancouver DS to expose the Shy Guys' secret hideout in Cubyrinth.
206[[/folder]]
207
208!!!Vancouver
209[[folder:Bowser Jr.]]
210Bowser's son and the Prince of the Koopas.
211----
212* AccidentalHero: In London 3DS, Junior's ride on Big Bullet Bill goes awry and falls on Dr. Eggman's robots, destroying them. Saving both Omochao and a Chao from being attacked. Of course, being a NoRespectGuy, Junior deliberately takes credit for it so he can get some respect once he finds out he saved them.
213* TheDragon: He's this to his father.
214* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He allies himself with the group in Tokyo 2020 on principle of getting his father out of the Tokyo 1964 game.
215* {{Foil}}: In Tokyo 2020, he becomes this to Eggman Nega. They are both descendants of the main villains and believe strongly in NeverMyFault. However, Bowser Jr. is a lot closer to Bowser (being his son), holds him in high esteem, and is genuinely concerned for him in Story Mode. What's more, his NeverMyFault moments are usually directed towards the heroes and he is far younger.
216* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Poor little guy, he uses his Dad's voice to make himself seem threatening in London 3DS, but the other characters just don't take him seriously.
217* JackOfAllStats: He's an All-Around type.
218* LegionOfDoom: He forms one with his dad, Dr. Eggman, and Metal Sonic.
219* OddFriendship: Despite the fact that he's a robot, Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic became good friends.
220* OverlordJr: His name says it all. He's Bowser's son.
221* NoRespectGuy: Junior is an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, and he doesn't like it. He goes to any lengths to earn some respect.
222* SpoiledBrat: Most prominently displayed in ''Tokyo 2020'''s story mode where, even when working alongside the good guys, Bowser Jr. will still attempt to sabotage them in order to make himself look good.
223* TrueCompanions: Has special victory animations with [[LikeFatherLikeSon Bowser]] and Metal Sonic in ''Sochi 2014''.
224* VillainExitStageLeft: In London 3DS, Junior with help from Big Bullet Bill stages a quick getaway from Yoshi, Shadow and Silver once he realizes he said too much about his father's plans.
225* VillainousFriendship: With Metal Sonic.
226* VillainTeamUp: With Metal Sonic in Vancouver's Adventure Tours. Upset that they were left out of the story, the two Dragons set up their own challenges to thwart the heroes.
227* WellDoneSonGuy: While Bowser is already very proud of his son, Bowser Jr. is constantly thinking of ways to make him even more proud. [[DependingOnTheWriter Depending on the game]], this can make him sympathetic or antagonistic.
228[[/folder]]

230[[folder:Donkey Kong]]
231The famous and iconic Jungle Hero of DK Island.
232----
233* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: In ''London 3DS'', DK beating the brains out of Omega knocks a part out of him that was making him go haywire. He forgives him after he calms down... on the condition that Omega joins the heroes to stop the bad guys.
234* BerserkButton: ''Don't'' mess with DK's bananas.
235* BewareTheNiceOnes: DK is a good fellow who is wild and not too bright, but will smash you if you mess with him.
236* BullyingADragon: E-123 Omega (brainwashed) makes the terrible mistake of attacking Donkey Kong while on his break, and ruining his banana snack. DK proceeds to open a can of wrestling whoop-ass on Omega.
237* ClimbingClimax: DK puts his climbing prowess to great use in ''Vancouver DS'', as he scales a contraption to push a button on top. All while avoiding falling debris.
238* CripplingOverspecialization: DK's power has no equal, but is average to poor in other stats.
239* HeadbuttingHeroes: Mario and DK are both clearly good guys, but their rivalry from the Arcade Days and the ''Mario vs DK'' series still runs deep.
240* HeroOfAnotherStory: Just like Wario and Yoshi, Donkey Kong has his [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry own series of games]].
241* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Much like Yoshi, DK only speaks in Grunts and "Ooks", but this doesn't stop any of the other characters from understanding him.
242* {{Irony}}: He has a FriendlyRivalry with Vector the Crocodile. Ironic, considering DK has had many run-ins with King K. Rool and the Kremlings in the past in his own series of games.
243* OddFriendship: With Vector the Crocodile.
244* TheRival: Against Vector, and [[HeadbuttingHeroes Mario]].
245* SuperStrength: The strongest of all the Power-type characters.
246* TheUnintelligible: He grunts and ooks, but the subtitles take care of that for him.

248* TrueCompanions: With Mario, Vector, and Knuckles in ''Sochi 2014'', and Diddy in ''Rio 2016''... [[FireForgedFriends Though he and Mario]] [[HeadbuttingHeroes don't get along too great]].

270The mysterious protector of the cosmos from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''. Having seen previous Olympics from the reaches of space in her Comet Observatory, she has decided to join the fun in person.
271----
272* TheComicallySerious: In Road to Rio, even when engaging or talking about something comparatively silly and unimpressive like the Gymnastics Plus event, Rosalina never breaks from her dignified, dramatic, serious tone in her dialogue.
273* GhostlyGlide: Humorously zigzagged. Even on earth in normal gravity, Rosalina inexplicably floats just off the ground whenever you see her in the hub world. She turns off her power in order to compete in Rhythmic Gymnastics, and ''walks'' after she is done with her demonstrations. On the medal stand, she is back to floating again.
274* HiddenDepths: Rosalina developed a liking for Rhythmic Gymnastics, which made the Lumas encourage her to participate in the Olympics.
275* LeotardOfPower: Rosalina wears this for gymnastics events. It's similar to Peach and Daisy's except light blue, and she has long sleeves.
276* MsFanservice: Rosalina is given a leotard just like Peach and Daisy. Unlike Peach and Daisy, it is the ''only thing'' Rosalina wears, as she is only playable in Gymnastics events. ''Tokyo 2020'' gives her an equally alluring wetsuit due to her only being playable in Surfing there.
277* NotSoAboveItAll: Rosalina is the protector of the cosmos and watches over the stars, but even she can't resist having some fun and winning those shiny gold medals. She witnessed previous Olympic games from far away, and decided to join them this time.
278* TrueBlueFemininity: Cyan is her dominant color.
279[[/folder]]

281[[folder:Birdo]]

294* PutOnABus: Is no longer playable and absent in the Wii U version of ''Rio 2016''.
295** TheBusCameBack: He returns in ''Tokyo 2020'' as the guest character for fencing and, unlike ''Rio 2016'''s 3DS version, [[AscendedExtra he actually appears in the storyline]].

299[[folder:Wendy O. Koopa]]
300The Sweet (but sour) female Koopaling.
301----
302[[/folder]]
303
304[[folder:Roy Koopa]]
305The sunglasses-wearing bad boy of the Koopalings.
306----
307* CoolShades: It wouldn't be Roy without his trademark hot pink sunglasses.
308* PutOnABus: He's no longer playable and absent in the Wii U version just like Ludwig, and unlike him, doesn't even return for ''Tokyo 2020''.
309[[/folder]]

315[[/folder]]
316
317[[folder:Dry Bones]]
318Once a Rival, Dry Bones makes his playable appearance in Rio 3DS.
319----

321* MookLieutenant: A single Dry Bones takes up the role as a boss in ''Vancouver DS''.
322* PromotedToPlayable: Dry Bones was one of the rivals in previous Olympic games, but graduated to playable in Rio.
323* PutOnABus: Despite being playable in the 3DS version, Dry Bones is seemingly absent in the Wii U version of ''Rio'' and ''Tokyo 2020''.
324* WouldHurtAChild: Dry Bowser and Dry Bones don't even bother challenging Toad and Omochao with an Olympic Event in ''London 3DS'', they straight up charge in to attack the two before Mario and Luigi stop them.
325[[/folder]]
326
327[[folder:Dry Bowser]]
328Bowser's skeletal form. This bony transformation grants him the agility of lightweight competitors while maintaining his heavyweight power.
329----
330* DecompositeCharacter: Was originally Bowser's undead self, but is his minion and a separate character in these games.
331* DemBones: Like Dry Bones, being a skeleton does nothing to stop him.
332* GoKartingWithBowser: He may be a skeleton, but he's still Bowser.
333* FinalBoss: In the Festival mode of Vancouver Wii, no matter if the player plays as a solo character or as a team, Dry Bowser will always be the last rival the player has to face off.
334* FlunkyBoss: Dry Bowser is the leader of the Dry Bones, but a minion of Bowser in these games. In Vancouver Wii, he takes on the player in Hockey with a team of Dry Bones.

336* PreFinalBoss: In Vancouver DS, he will be faced before Bowser and Dr. Eggman.

340* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Dry Bowser is the only rival not seen in the picture at the end of Adventure Mode in ''Vancouver DS''.
341* YouHaveFailedMe: Chases his Dry Bones teammates if they lose the hockey game in Festival mode of Vancouver Wii. Understandable, as they were the ones out on the ice while Dry Bowser was the goalie.
342* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Just when the characters are about to claim the legends trophy in Sochi 2014, Dry Bowser along with Eggman Nega and Rouge the Bat ambush them and take the trophy, forcing the character to beat them in the Winter Sports Champion race.
343[[/folder]]
344
345[[folder:Toad]]

347----
348* IntelligibleUnintelligible: In Vancouver DS and London 3DS, Toad tags along with [[HeroicMime Mario and Luigi]] to speak for them. When Mario and Luigi meet up with Sonic and Tails, he and Tails split the duties.
349* MrExposition: Toad tends to explain simple plot points, and the [[CaptainObvious blatantly obvious]]. Especially in ''Vancouver DS''.
350* NonActionGuy: Toad is not actually playable, so he makes himself helpful in other ways.
351* PromotedToPlayable: The sole case of this for the Wii U version of ''Rio'', where Toad appears as a guest character.
352* TagalongKid: In ''London 3DS'', where he accompanies the heroes on their quest to stop the Phantasmal Fog. Though this is mostly to speak for [[HeroicMime Mario and Luigi]], as seen above. Tails takes over when Toad almost passes out from the fog.
353* TrueCompanions: Has a special victory animation with Mario in ''Rio 2016''.
354[[/folder]]
355
356[[folder:Toadette]]
357Introduced in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'', the female counterpart of Toad finally joins the festivities in ''Tokyo 2020'' as a replacement for him.
358----
359* CheerfulChild: Toadette is an execeptionally upbeat and carefree girl.
360* SuperSpeed: One of the fastest competitors in the series, and her main event is 110m Hurdles.
361* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Toad from ''Rio 2016''.

374The world-famous supersonic hedgehog, the namesake of Team Sonic, and Sega's mascot.
375----
376* BadassInDistress: In ''Road to Rio 3DS''.
377* BashBrothers: With Tails of course, but the big attraction in this series is his team up with Mario, and it's pretty damn potent.
378* BlowYouAway: A lot of Sonic's special moves use this, owing to his speed.
379* BlueIsHeroic: A perfect counterpart for Mario's [[RedIsHeroic red]].
380* TheCaptain: TheLeader, {{Face}} and namesake of Team Sonic.
381* CharacterSelectForcing: In the final showdown in ''Vancouver DS'', you can choose only Sonic (or Mario) or both of them to take on the [[BigBadDuumvirate villains]] [[ArchEnemy Dr. Eggman and Bowser]].
382* CommonalityConnection: Their names are in the title, and they are the team captains and [[TheHero champions]] of their respective universes, it's no-brainer Sonic would be buddies with Super Mario.
383* CripplingOverspecialization: Sonic's the name and speed is his game. While Sonic is unmatched in speed, his other stats aren't as great.
384* DependingOnTheWriter: Sonic is either talkative or a HeroicMime depending on the game he's in.
385* DistressedDude: [[spoiler:In ''Road To Rio'', while investigating Eggman's secret base with Tails, Sonic suddenly finds himself trapped inside. Jet and your Mii have to bail him out.]]
386* FriendlyRivalry: With Mario.
387* GameplayAndStoryIntegration:
388** Sonic is given a lifevest for swimming events, owing to his inability to swim.
389** During the Classic Diving event in Tokyo 2020, Sonic quickly jumps out of the water after completing his dive.
390* TheHero: He and Mario form a dynamic hero duo. Along with Tails and Luigi, they form Team ''Heroes'' in Vancouver and London. The Band of heroes set out, usually to stop the VillainTeamUp of Dr. Eggman and Bowser.
391* HeroicMime: Zig-Zagged. Sonic is usually a chatterbox, but he's oddly silent in the Olympic games from Beijing to London. Averted in ''Rio 3DS'', where Sonic has full lines of dialogue. Come Tokyo 2020, Sonic is back to talking again.
392* MundaneUtility: In ''Vancouver DS'', Sonic can use springs to use his spin dash to break through barriers in order to navigate the field.
393* {{Nerf}}: Sonic is able to break the speed of sound while running normally, but at the Olympics, he's near-normal speed. However, he's still the fastest character in the game.
394* RollingAttack: Sonic's special dash in Athletic events is his trademark Spin Dash.
395* SuperDrowningSkills: Sonic cannot swim, so he is given a lifejacket for swimming events. Sonic just paddles along using his arms while staying afloat.
396* SuperSpeed: He's a Speed-type character, and the fastest character in the game.
397* TheRival: Sonic has many rivals, Mario, Shadow, and Jet in particular are the standout ones.

399* TrueCompanions: Sonic has special victory animations with Tails, Dr. Eggman, Amy, and Mario in ''Sochi 2014'', and Jet in ''Rio 2016''.
400* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Come ''Rio'' and ''Tokyo'', Sonic dropped his HeroicMime bit and started speaking again, and he can communicate with [[HeroicMime Mario]] no problem, forming a SilentBob dynamic.
401* VitriolicBestBuds: With Knuckles. Their personalities clash, but have each others backs when push comes to shove.
402[[/folder]]
403
404[[folder:Tails]]
405Sonic's two-tailed fox buddy who's very excellent with machines.
406----
407* BashBrothers: Sonic and Tails are inseparable and make quite a potent duo.
408* BlowYouAway: Tails' special techniques have shades of this to tie into his flight ability.
409* CommonalityConnection: Luigi and Tails are kindred spirits, being the signature sidekicks and [[TheLancer lancers]] to the titular mascot characters, so they know what it's like to be [[StuckInTheirShadow overshadowed]]. Naturally, they wound up being a good fit for one another.
410* ADayInTheLimelight: With Sonic and Mario trapped in the game system, Tails joins up with Luigi in ''Tokyo 2020'' in their quest to get them out while in the Real World.
411* GadgeteerGenius: His expertise with machines makes him a pretty valuable asset to the team. The first part of the plot of Tokyo 2020 is all about seeking out Tails to get him to look at the Tokyo 1964 game system.
412* TheHero: Alongside Mario, Luigi and Sonic, Tails rounds up the Heroes team.
413* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Since Sonic is a HeroicMime from Beijing to London, Tails speaks for him. He and Toad end up sharing the duties in London 3DS.
414* IntergenerationalFriendship: Tails is shown to be good friends with Luigi, despite being eight years old and Luigi being somewhere in his ''twenties''.
415* MultipleTailedBeast: He wouldn't be called Tails if he didn't have his two tails.
416* TheSmartGuy: Tails is not only good with machines, but he also proves to be a pretty good detective in London 3DS' story mode.
417* TrueCompanions: Tails has special victory animations with Sonic and [[CommonalityConnection Luigi]] in ''Sochi 2014''.
418* VideoGameFlight: Through the use of his two propeller tails. Giving him a slight edge in jumping events.
419* WeakButSkilled: He's a Skill-type. His stats are more speed-focused than the other skill type characters, however, as is usually the case in his home series.
420[[/folder]]
421
422[[folder:Knuckles]]
423Hailing from Angel Island, Sonic's good buddy Knuckles goes for the gold.
424----
425* BigDamnHeroes: In London 3DS, Sonic is ambushed by Bowser, but Knuckles and Vector come in the nick of time. Bowser was ''this close'' to making a blue pancake. Turns out, Amy was concerned and asked Knux and Vector to look out for Sonic.
426* TheBigGuy: Not quite big, but Knuckles is very strong and very much proud of it.
427* HotBlooded: So much in fact he instantly calls out [[BigBad Bowser]] when he attacks Sonic in London 3DS.
428* LightningBruiser: Knuckles is one of the more faster Power-Type characters.
429* MusclesAreMeaningless: Don't be fooled by his skinny-looking build, the dreadlocked Echidna is super powerful.
430* RapidFireFisticuffs: Knuckles makes himself very useful when the gang in stuck in Polastraits by shattering the Ice Wall with his fists.
431* RedIsHeroic: A tad rough around the edges when it comes to [[VitriolicBestBuds his relationship]] with [[{{Foil}} Sonic]], but is overall a good guy.
432* SuperStrength: Knuckles is a Power-type, but is a bit more balanced than the other Power characters, having greater speed than the others.
433* TrueCompanions: With Vector, Wario, and Donkey Kong in ''Sochi 2014''.
434* VitriolicBestBuds: Undoubtedly an ally of Sonic, but their personalities [[RedOniBlueOni clash]] on occasion.
435* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In London 3DS, it looks like Knuckles and Vector have taken care of Bowser and have everything under control, until [[ActuallyADoombot he was revealed to be a fog imposter]] the whole time.
436[[/folder]]
437
438[[folder:Amy]]
439Sonic's so-called girlfriend. Hoping to win Sonic's heart, Amy takes on the olympics.
440----
441* CommonalityConnection: Amy's feminine personality and penchant for love and kindness has let her develop a friendship with Princess Peach both character-wise and in a meta sense.
442* DamselInDistress: In London 3DS, A morning in Hyde Park turns for the worse as Amy and Daisy are attacked by Phantasmal Fog Impostors. Peach and Blaze end up saving them.
443%%* GenkiGirl
444* TheHeart: In London 3DS, being the youngest and less mature of the Girls group, Amy takes up this role.
445* HeartBeatDown: Her special moves tend to be this.
446* JackOfAllStats: Amy is an All-Around type in this series. She's more skill-based than the other All-Arounders, however.
447* PoorCommunicationKills: Peach and Amy [[spoiler:actually ''had'' Bowser and Dr. Eggman's invitations ready, but trusted two Toads to get it to them. However, the Toads lose them. When a pissed off Doctor and Bowser arrive to get their late invitations, Peach and Amy nervously and hastily rewrite the invitations, but don't get them to Bowser and Eggman on time. The bad guys ''did'' however find the invitations they wrote to Sonic and Mario, and trusted that Peach and Amy would get them the invitations eventually and walk off to enjoy the sights. The Toads saw Bowser and Eggman with invitations on their hands (''Which were actually Sonic and Mario's'') as they walked away, so the girls figured they found the original invitations the Toads lost before and let the thing pass. The result? The two villains feel slighted, get ticked, and plot their revenge by unleashing the [[FogOfDoom Phantasmal Fog]] on London, endangering the games and the populace.]] Oops.
448* SkewedPriorities: While making the London game invitations, Amy is so fixated on Sonic that she wants to give him his invitation early as well as personally. The other girls and especially Blaze don't take kindly to this, and they use an [[SeriousBusiness Olympic Event]] to settle the matter.
449* TrueCompanions: With Sonic (to an extent), Blaze, and Princess Peach in Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016.
450* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: See PoorCommunicationKills above. The girls (Peach and Amy particularly) would probably have been better served to make certainly sure Bowser and Eggman received their invitations in ''London 3DS''.
451[[/folder]]
452
453[[folder:Dr. Eggman]]
454An evil mechanical Genius and Sonic The Hedgehog's eternal ArchEnemy. While he too wants the gold, he'll team up with Bowser to cause trouble.
455----
456* ActuallyADoombot: The two villains specifically planned for such an occasion where the main characters would stop them in ''London 3DS'', They created their own Phantasmal Fog Imposters to throw them off the trail. Eggman even installed Fog Machine ''holograms''.
457* AFatherToHisMen: Even though his own minions are just robots, Dr. Eggman has a pretty good rapport with them, even treating Metal Sonic as a son and training him for the Olympics.
458* AffablyEvil: The doctor is no good, but he's quite the classy fellow. You have to have have a lot of class and charm in order [[VillainousFriendship to win over]] ''[[EvilVersusEvil Bowser]]''.
459* ArchEnemy: Sonic the Hedgehog's fiercest and most persistent foe. When he and Bowser join forces, they form a ArchEnemy ''team'' to combat the dynamic duo of Sonic and Mario.
460* BaitAndSwitch: In Vancouver DS, once it looks like the adventure is complete by freeing the last Snow Spirit, Eggman and Bowser capture Frosty and escape to Blizland.
461* BigBadDuumvirate: With Bowser.
462* BrainsAndBrawn: When they team up, he's the brains to Bowser's brawn.
463* CardCarryingVillain: While his motivations vary, being the villain is basically Eggman's job.
464* CommonalityConnection: What forges the VillainousFriendship between him and Bowser. Two [[BigBad bad guys]] with world domination aspirations, but have a pesky and persistent ArchEnemy standing in their way. In a funny twist in this series, they quickly develop animosity for each ''others'' arch enemy.
465* DivideAndConquer: In ''Road To Rio'', [[spoiler:Eggman brainwashes the two Suit Boys to frame the heroes and create a divide between the two gyms. With Mario & Sonic out of the way, and the two gyms' increasing distrust of each other and sniping at each other's throats, he and Bowser can take over the Olympics.]]
466* EvilIsHammy: From his villainous guffaw to his grandiose mannerisms, Eggman likes to put on a show, even when it comes to ''signing documents''.
467* EvilIsPetty: Along with Bowser, Eggman hatches a scheme to use the Phantasmal Fog to endanger London when they believe they were snubbed of their invitations to the London games. [[spoiler:Turns out, they weren't snubbed, Peach, Amy, along with some Toads, accidentally lost their invitations.]]
468* ForTheEvulz: The best way to explain Dr. Eggman's villainy in Vancouver DS. Why melt all the snow and kidnap the snow spirits? Why start your own Olympics? Because evil.
469* GadgeteerGenius: A expert with machines of all kinds. He is responsible for the Fog Machines in ''London 3DS'' as well as the Tokyo 1964 game system.
470* GeniusBruiser: Eggman's a skill type, with a surprisingly good Power stat.
471* GoKartingWithBowser: And he's friends with Bowser. Invoked in the ending of London 3DS. The plumber and hedgehog, right after thwarting their plans once again, don't bear a grudge against the two villains and invite him and Bowser to the olympics.
472* LegionOfDoom: Formed with Metal Sonic, Bowser, and Bowser Jr..
473* MadScientist: Of course. He's the one responsible for the Phantasmal Fog Machines in London 2012.
474* MenaceDecay: Much like Bowser, In Vancouver DS, Dr. Eggman's motives for his villainy was [[ForTheEvulz classic card-carrying evil]]. In London 3DS, his villainy is centered around petty revenge at a presumed slight rather than outright malice.
475* NotSoDifferentRemark: In ''London 3DS'', Eggman calls out an angry Wario and Waluigi on their greed, calling them no different than what he is, in some cases ''worse''.
476-->'''Eggman:''' You're barking up the wrong tree if you think it's our fault your plans collapsed. In fact, they'll make me a hero for chasing you crooks away.
477* OnOneCondition: In London 3DS, Eggman agrees to let Bowser Jr. challenge Metal Sonic to prove his worth. If Junior loses, he becomes Eggman's minion, if he wins, Eggman will have to tell Bowser how great an athlete his son is. With the stakes being so one-sided, Eggman easily agrees to the terms.
478* ShirtlessScene: In ''Tokyo 2020'', he is now shirtless in the swimming events, only wearing swimming shorts.
479* SoreLoser: In ''Beijing 2008'', when he earns a silver or bronze medal, he'll cross his arms, uttering "Unbelievable!" like coming 2nd or 3rd isn't good enough for him.
480* StartMyOwn: He'll gladly assist Bowser in the scheme to start their own Olympics (or ruin them, whichever).
481* TrappedInTVLand: Eggman accidentally gets himself and Bowser captured in the Tokyo 1964 game system.
482* TrueCompanions: With Bowser, Sonic, and Metal Sonic in ''Sochi 2014''. With [[ArchEnemy Sonic]], it's oddly more comedic than ominous.
483* WeakButSkilled: He's a Skill-type. He actually has a rather high power stat compared to the other skill types, though.
484* WithCatlikeTread: In London 3DS, he gives up an obvious clue to the heroes by signing out a Library book in big fat letters. When doing something as simple as checking out books, he wants ''everyone'' to know about it.
485* VillainousFriendship: He and Bowser get along quite well. Considering the two bad guys have quite a ''lot'' to relate to with each other, it was a no-brainer friendship.
486* VillainTeamUp: The story modes in the handheld games involve him and Bowser teaming up to cause trouble.
487[[/folder]]
488
489[[folder:Shadow]]
490The Ultimate Lifeform and one of Sonic's most enduring rivals.
491----
492* TheComicallySerious: Oh so much.
493* DarkIsNotEvil: Shadow is an anti-hero who have been more recently on Sonic's side.
494* EvilCounterpart: Initially started out as one for Sonic, but mellowed out ''a whole lot'' since then.
495* ILetYouWin: He utters this when he gets 4th or lower in an event in ''Beijing 2008''.
496* KamehameHadouken: Shadow can use his Chaos Spear to hit things from a distance. He puts it to good use to stop a roulette in Sparkleton in ''Vancouver DS''.
497* SeriousBusiness: Even in something as lighthearted and silly as the Olympics, Shadow always maintains his gruff, tough guy persona. It take up to the ''Rio 2016'' for him to mellow out slightly and starts to smile on occasion during some of the events.
498* SuperSpeed: A Speed-Type Character.
499* TheRival: To Sonic and Luigi.
500* TrueCompanions: With Silver and Waluigi in ''Sochi 2014'' (though, with a very loose definition for the latter).
501* VitriolicBestBuds: He's seemingly good partners with Silver, though they don't really show the friendliness much.
502[[/folder]]
503
504[[folder:Vector]]
505A lumbering music-loving Crocodile who runs the Chaotix Detective Agency.
506----
507* BigDamnHeroes: In London 3DS, Sonic is about to be ambushed by Bowser, but Knuckles and Vector come in the nick of time. Bowser was ''this close'' to making a blue pancake. Turns out, Amy initially was concerned about Sonic and asked Knux and Vector to look out for him.
508* BusmansHoliday: In Vancouver DS, Vector shirks his detective duties in order to participate in the Olympics, except he gets caught up in Mario And Sonic's adventure to save the Snow Spirits.
509* FriendlyRivalry: With Donkey Kong.
510* FurryReminder: The way Vector swims in Aquatics resembles a real crocodile swimming.
511* {{Irony}}: He's good friends with Donkey Kong, despite not being too far off from resembling a [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Kremling]].
512* GreatDetective: Vector runs his own detective agency.
513* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Subversion. Vector is definitely big and intimidating, but he's still one of the good guys.
514* StoutStrength: He has tiny legs, but very impressive arms which gives him his power.
515* SuperStrength: As a Power-type character. Vector is generally more balanced than the other Power-Types, not standing out in any aspect.
516* TrueCompanions: With Knuckles and Donkey Kong in ''Sochi 2014''.
517* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: In London 3DS, it looks like Vector and Knuckles have stopped Bowser and have the situation under control, until [[ActuallyADoombot the Koopa King was revealed to be a fog imposter]] the entire time.
518[[/folder]]
519
520[[folder:Blaze]]
521The Flame Princess from the Sol Dimension jumps to another world to have some fun in the Olympics.
522----
523* CuteLittleFangs: They can be seen when she [[http://konkonkonna.tumblr.com/post/146487875940/i-noticed-this-while-watching smiles]].
524* CommonalityConnection: Princess Daisy takes interest in Blaze as a friend and rival when she learns that Blaze is a princess. Being [[ShrinkingViolet Blaze]] however, she is hardly flattered by [[GenkiGirl Daisy's forwardness]].
525* FauxHorrific: Peach, Amy, and Daisy invite Blaze to shop and fun with them after their work is done, for someone as socially withdrawn as Blaze, however, this is the worst possible thing to happen.
526* GotVolunteered: The girls invite Blaze to [[FauxHorrific their fun outing]] in ''London 3DS'' and they won't take no for an answer. The Toads even stop Blaze from leaving before she can escape.
527* {{Irony}}: Blaze is primarily associated with fire, yet her official artwork in ''Tokyo 2020'' has her taking part in a swimming event.
528* JackOfAllStats: She's an All-Around type, meaning she has balanced stats. Her highest stat is her speed.
529* TheLancer: Among the ''Girls'' group in ''London 3DS'', Blaze plays this role, while Princess Peach is TheLeader.
530* OutOfCharacterMoment: Compared to [[PerpetualFrowner her mainstream persona]], Blaze is frequently hyperactive and happy during gameplay, naturally this is most evident whenever she wins an event, where she sports a wide open grin (something almost never seen in other games).
531* PlayingWithFire: The Mario Bros aren't the only ones with fire powers in this series. She [[MeaningfulName isn't called]] ''Blaze'' for nothing. In ''Vancouver DS'' Blaze puts her fire powers to good use to melt an ice block puzzle, allowing her to get through without causing a potential cave-in.
532* PurpleIsPowerful: Blaze is a princess who wields the power of fire, and a lavender-colored cat.
533* RedOniBlueOni: She plays as a Blue to Amy and Daisy's Red.
534* ShrinkingViolet: She may be a bit more more talkative and mellow now, but Blaze is still just as shy and socially awkward as ever. Peach, Amy, and Daisy actually ''force'' her to shop and have fun with them in ''London 3DS''.
535* TechnicolorFire: Blaze's flame powers sometimes range from standard orange fire to a very snazzy ''purple'' fire.
536* TrueCompanions: Has special team animations with Amy Rose, Silver and Daisy in ''Sochi 2014'', and in ''Rio 2016'', Rouge.

546The mysterious being from the future with psychic powers.
547----
548* BerserkButton: Do not hurt Yoshi, [[https://youtu.be/iftPOXhTy9I?t=86 or else you'll end up like DK]].
549* DefeatMeansFriendship: Silver and Blaze finally join the player after their second defeat in ''Vancouver DS''.
550* {{Flight}}: With his PsychicPowers, Silver is capable of hovering over distances.
551* OddFriendship: With Yoshi.
552* PapaWolf: Do anything to hurt Yoshi, and Silver will make you ''pay''. DK finds this out the hard way in the intro to ''Tokyo 2020''.
553* PsychicPowers: He has been using them to levitate in poses. He proves beneficial to the group many times. In Vancouver DS, he helps Donkey Kong retrieve his lost bunch of bananas from a crevasse in Icepeak.
554* RecurringBoss: In Vancouver DS, Silver initially turns down the offer to join the heroes, only changing his mind after defeating him again.
555* TrueCompanions: With Blaze, Shadow, and Yoshi in ''Sochi 2014''.
556* VitriolicBestBuds: With Shadow.
557* WeakButSkilled: As you might expect from a being with Psychic Powers. He's a Skill-type in this series, meaning he lacks power, but makes up for in technique.
558* WeWillMeetAgain: Silver and Blaze get this in ''Vancouver DS'' only joining the player for good after being defeated in the second encounter.

561[[folder:Metal Sonic]]
562A cold, wicked robot created by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of matching and destroying Sonic. Whichever is good.
563----
564* BossBattle: The gang has to face him with a group of Egg Pawns in ''Tokyo 2020'' at the Metropolitan building. He also plays the role of a boss in ''Vancouver DS'' in the Dream Long Jump.
565* TheDragon: To Eggman's empire.
566* EvilKnockoff: Evil Robot Knockoff in this case.
567* FelonyMisdemeanor: In ''London 3DS'', Metal Sonic breaks Waluigi's invention, prompting the angry plumber [[ThisMeansWar to come after him]].
568* {{Flight}}: He's armed with rocket thrusters that allow him to do this.
569* LegionOfDoom: After Bowser, Eggman, and Bowser Jr., Metal rounds out the group.
570* OddFriendship: With Bowser Jr. Reptilian Koopa child? Evil Robot who doesn't even talk? They're [[VillainousFriendship good friends]].
571* ShockAndAwe: A lot of Metal's special moves use this.
572* SuperSpeed: Since he was designed to match Sonic, he has this in spades. He's a Speed-Type character.
573* TheUnintelligible: In lieu of a proper voice, he emits electronic jabbering and warbling sounds.
574* TrueCompanions: With Eggman and ''Bowser Jr.'' in ''Sochi 2014''.
575* VillainousFriendship: With Bowser Jr. Apparently evil princes and evil robots can relate to each other quite well.
576* VillainTeamUp: Metal and Bowser Jr. form one at the end of Vancouver DS, after being left out of the main plot.
577* TheVoiceless: He doesn't speak, except for unintelligible robot noises. In London Wii's London Party mode, Orbot and Cubot talk for him.

579
580!!!Rio
581[[folder:Rouge]]
582A seductive, sassy bat girl who was once one of the rival characters, but takes part in the Olympics for real in Rio 2016.
583----
584* AdaptationalVillainy: She's definitely more antagonistic than in the original games. She seems to have grown out of it by Rio 2016
585* AntiHero: She's not a bad girl overall and will assist the good guys, but her {{Greed}} does gets the best of her on many occasions and the heroes often have to battle her regardless.
586* BeatTheCurseOutOfHim: in London 3DS, Rouge is brainwashed and under the influence of the Phantasmal Fog. It takes Princess Peach beating her in a duel to snap her out of it.
587* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Rouge is this [[MindManipulation under the influence]] of the Phantasmal Fog in ''London 3DS''.
588* {{Flight}}: She's a bat. What do you expect?
589* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler:She randomly appears at the end of ''Legends Showdown'' as one of the three final rivals.]]
590* {{Greed}}: The main reason why [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Rouge is so easily talked]] into switching sides. Anything to get her hands on some wonderful treasure.
591* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: ''Many'' examples.
592** In Vancouver DS, Shadow talks her into helping the good guys recover the stolen Olympics Memorabilia, which she agrees to on the condition of offering her whitestones. However, later on in Icepeak, Bowser and Dr. Eggman get her to turn on the group by offering her a Whitestone reward of their own if she beats the player in a Figure Skating Duel. Once Rouge loses, Eggman and Bowser have no intention of honoring their part of the bargain. Being used, Rouge ''turns'' once again. The Revolving ''finally'' stops by then, however, and Rouge remains a face, even apologizing afterwards.
593** In London 3DS, Rouge is once again set up as a villain, but she's actually brainwashed. Once Princess Peach breaks the influence over her, she agrees to hang out with the girls.
594** However, [[spoiler:Rouge then teams up with [[EvilCounterpart Eggman Nega and Dry Bowser]] to steal the legends Trophy in ''Sochi 2014''.]]
595* KillAndReplace: Rouge (brainwashed) threatens to do this to the Girls in ''London 3DS''. Her scheme is to trap them in the fog of Hyde Park, while their Phantasmal Fog copies replace them in the games.
596* MindManipulation: An unfortunate victim of the Phantasmal Fog's influence in London 3DS.
597* MoneyFetish: Gives Wario a run for his money literally and figuratively in terms of liking money and treasure.
598* MsFanservice: Being ''Rouge'', this was a given.
599* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Rouge feels remarkably guilty after being duped over some Whitestones by Bowser in Dr. Eggman in Vancouver DS.
600* PromotedToPlayable: After being a rival, Rouge competes in Rio 2016.
601* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only ''female'' rival character. Or rather [[PromotedToPlayable was]].
602* TokenGoodTeammate: Out of all the rivals in the first four games, Rouge is probably the friendliest and most likely to assist the heroes.
603* TrueCompanions: Has a special team animation with Blaze in ''Rio 2016'' 's Wii U version.
604* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler:Teams up with Eggman Nega and Dry Bowser, of all people, to steal the trophy in ''Legends Showdown''.]]

609[[caption-width-right:350:''Tokyo 2020'']]
610A little rabbit girl with a Chao named Cheese who always tags at her side. She teams up with Toad to handle the host and ref duties for the Olympics. She becomes playable in the 3DS version of Rio.
611----
612* CheerfulChild: Cream is very friendly and rather cheerful, as she continually bobs up and down even when she's standing.
613* DamselInDistress: In ''London 3DS'', Cream and Cheese are attacked by Phantasmal Fog Impostors mimicking the heroes in the main stadium. Thankfully, The real heroes arrive to rescue them in time.
614* DemotedToExtra: In the first three games, Cream was a prominent referee, acting as a host for the games alongside Toad, and even became [[PromotedToPlayable playable]] in "Rio 3DS". However, in "Rio Wii U", Cream is running the "Item Stand: Sonic Edition" in the game's HubWorld instead of acting as referee/host or being a playable character. The same also applies to '"Tokyo 2020'' as well.
615* TheHost: For Vancouver's ''Festival Mode'', ''and London Party''. Generally, when Cream isn't refereeing or running item stands, you'll see her doing this.
616* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: In ''Vancouver DS'', Cream is stuck with a locked chest and can't get it open. Luckily Knuckles helps her out and the player is able to obtain a Hockey Stick, which lets Mario & Crew play Hockey Events.
617* JapanesePoliteness: Being [[{{Moe}} Cream]], she can't resist calling others Mr. or Ms.
618* ModestyShorts: Is given a little pair of black shorts under her dress for her playable appearance in ''Rio''.
619* PromotedToPlayable: She was a referee/host from Beijing to Sochi. Now she joins the fold in ''Rio 3DS'', but goes back to referee duties in the Wii U version and ''Tokyo 2020''.
620* VideoGameFlight: She uses her rabbit ears to float and hover, as she proudly demonstrates on the trophy stand in ''Rio 3DS''.
621[[/folder]]
622
623[[folder:[=E-123=] Omega]]
624One of Dr. Eggman's robots. The last of his famous E-Series Line.
625----
626* AntiHero: He opposes Dr. Eggman out of principle, so he'll help the team out in stopping his plans but mostly operates out of his own self interest too much to be a real ally.
627* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In ''London 3DS'', Dr. Eggman installed a part in him that causes him to go nuts, and he attacks [[BullyingADragon Donkey Kong]] during his breaks.
628* BullyingADragon: Omega in his rampage attacks ''Donkey Kong'' and ruins his banana. CurbStompBattle in Wrestling ensues.
629* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Omega constantly fluctuates between ally and enemy to the heroes.
630* PromotedToPlayable: Becomes a playable character in ''Rio 3DS''.
631* PutOnABus: Is no longer playable and absent in the Wii U version of ''Rio 2016'' and ''Tokyo 2020''.
632* RoboSpeak: Of course.
633* SkewedPriorities: Being ''Omega'', his main focus and ''only'' focus is on the destruction of Dr. Eggman. In Vancouver DS, Eggman even takes advantage of this by goading Omega into a condition that he can only face him if he defeats Sonic and Mario.
634* StockSoundEffect: All of his spoken dialogue in the ''Rio 3DS'' is taken from ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes''.
635* TookALevelInKindness: In ''Vancouver DS'', he wants to destroy Dr. Eggman and is easily manipulated into battling the heroes. ''London 3DS'' has him accompanying Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Tails and Toad after being asked to by Donkey Kong and turns back at Stonehenge due to Toad being unwell and later reports on the clearing of the fog. ''Rio 3DS'' has him helping Sonic and his friends from the start.
636[[/folder]]

638[[folder:Espio]]
639The chameleon ninja member of the Chaotix Detective Agency.
640----

642* PromotedToPlayable: He was a referee in the previous games, but becomes playable in ''Rio''.
643[[/folder]]
644
645[[folder:Jet]]
646The cocky leader of the Babylon Rogues from the ''Sonic Riders'' series.
647----
648* AllUpToYou: In ''Road To Rio'', It falls upon Jet (and your character) to rescue [[BadassInDistress Sonic the Hedgehog]], who is trapped inside Dr. Eggman's base. Jet plays an unlikely hero and puts his lock-picking skills to good use to bust him out.
649* CharacterSelectForcing: He can only be challenged by playing as [[TheRival Sonic]] in Vancouver DS.
650* HiddenDepths: His profile in ''Rio 2016'' states that he has an interest in ball sports such as soccer due to the pace and technical skill required.
651* PromotedToPlayable: Like Rouge and Dry Bones, Jet is a former rival competing in ''Rio''.
652* TheRival: Even though they're [[VideoGame/SonicRiders not on airboards this time]], Jet still views himself as one to Sonic.
653[[/folder]]
654
655[[folder:Eggman Nega]]
656Dr. Eggman's strange descendant.
657----
658* AscendedExtra: While still only a guest, Eggman Nega plays the main ''Sonic'' villain in Tokyo 2020 (possibly due to Metal's inability to speak).
659* ArcWelding: In London 3DS and Tokyo 2020, it's confirmed that he is Eggman's descendant from the future, which is established in ''VideoGame/SonicRivals'', however Tails' dialogue after he mentions it in the former has him saying that also mentions about how Sonic and Blaze stopped him, which references his debut ''VideoGame/SonicRush'', where he is said to be Eggman's AlternateSelf. This has been established by Iuzuka, but this is the first game to mention so.
660* EvilCounterpart: Dr. Eggman is a bad dude himself, but Eggman Nega is what he would be if the doctor didn't have any semblance of standards or restraint.
661* FauxAffablyEvil: He puts a pretty nice facade to hide his real evil and sociopathy.
662* {{Foil}}: To Bowser Jr. While also a descendant, he is from a far further era of time. Unlike Bowser Jr., he shows no respect for his ancestor Eggman, calling him an embarrassment and being far less resourceful. He is also far older than Jr. and his NeverMyFault moments are usually blamed on Eggman.
663* GenerationXerox: He looks exactly like his predecessor with slightly different colors and different design of his jacket.
664* GoKartingWithBowser: A notorious creep of a villain who was Blaze the Cat's Arch-Enemy before becoming Silver's, then became a standard rival in the Olympics, now he's in on the fun for good this time.
665* ILied: In London 3DS, Eggman Nega has no intention of living up to his bargain when the heroes defeat him, pulling a VillainExitStageLeft.
666* OverlordJr: Exaggerated. He's a descendent of Dr. Eggman, though from a very far future.
667* PromotedToPlayable: He becomes a playable character in Rio.
668* PutOnABus: Is no longer playable and absent from the Wii U version of ''Rio 2016''. A particularly odd example as, aside from the first, he's appeared in every game so far including ''Rio 3DS''.
669** TheBusCameBack: He returns in ''Tokyo 2020'' and also has a major role in the storyline.
670* StockSoundEffect: Speaks entirely in recycled voice clips from Chikao ÅŒtsuka in the Japanese versions of ''Rio 3DS'' and ''Tokyo 2020''.
671* TookALevelInKindness: In ''Tokyo 2020'' he doesn't do anything terribly bad outside of coding in power-ups with the intention of giving Bowser and Eggman the means to cheat. Aside from that, he's totally helpful, if arrogant (which is no surprise considering [[{{Jerkass}} his personality]] and [[GenerationXerox who he's a descendent of]]). Additionally, like in ''Rivals'', he holds embarrassment for being a descendant of Dr. Eggman, but is willing to help save his ancestor.
672* VillainousBreakdown: In Vancouver DS, after being defeated once again in Polastraits, Eggman Nega's nice façade evaporates and [[spoiler:he dumps the cage containing the Snow Spirit Cuby into the water, attempting to drown him.]]
673* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Just when the characters are about to claim the Legends trophy in Sochi 2014, Eggman Nega, along with Dry Bowser and Rouge the Bat, ambush them and take the trophy, forcing the character to beat them in the Winter Sports Champion race.
674[[/folder]]
675
676[[folder:Zavok]]
677Zavok is the strongest of the sinister Zeti and leader of the Deadly Six. As the last disciple of Master Zik, he's a certified force to be reckoned with. His greatest joy is in improving his skills, which makes the straight-forward competitive nature of the Olympic Games quite appealing.
678----
679* ChallengeSeeker: His reason for taking part in the Olympic Games.
680* GoKartingWithBowser: Zavok and the other Zeti betrayed Dr. Eggman and have gone so far to try to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy]] Sonic's world before. All water under the bridge now, as Zavok plays right along with Sonic and the others in the Olympics.
681* GracefulLoser: He shows bewilderment if you beat him in the 3DS version, but it quickly gets replaced with excitement at having a WorthyOpponent to face to further test his skills.
682* TheRival: The intro to the Wii U version of ''Rio 2016'' shows him having a boxing match against Bowser.
683* VillainsOutShopping: He's got no evil intentions; he just came to the Olympics to test his skills.
684[[/folder]]
685
686[[folder:Zazz]]
687The wild and crazy member of the Deadly Six, Zazz is every bit the metalhead he looks like. His competitive style is a bit chaotic than is usually seen in the Olympic Games.

728The third member of the Chaotix Detective Agency. This little bee guy makes himself busy.
729----
730* AscendedExtra: Alongside Espio, he temporarily joins the Heroes in ''London 3DS'', as they split up into teams to solve the mystery of the Phantasmal Fog.
731* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Due to Toad and Tails split off on their own teams, Charmy teams up with [[HeroicMime Luigi]].
732* TrustPassword: Charmy is in charge of a locked gate in Cubyrinth in ''Vancouver DS'' under command of Vector, and he won't open the gate until you tell him the "password". The "password" is actually a quiz Vector has to solve.
733* VideoGameFlight: He's a bee, and stays aloft consistently.
734* VirtuousBees: A young and friendly bee child and also the youngest of the Chaotix group.

747* GoKartingWithBowser: A [[VileVillainSaccharineShow nasty]] ghost king and Luigi's ArchEnemy in the Luigi's Mansion games, He's mostly taken a break from stuffing people into portraits and is okay with just competing in the Olympics.
748* FlunkyBoss: Is the main villain of the ''Luigi's Mansion'' titles, but is just a minion of Bowser in the Olympics games.
749* GhastlyGhost: He's not as terrible as he is [[VileVillainSaccharineShow usually]], but he's still a bad guy, usually aiding Bowser in his schemes in the Olympics.
750* KingMook: As his name implies, King Boo is the leader of the Boos.
751* LargeAndInCharge: He's the king of the Boos, so it only makes sense that he's larger.
752* RightBehindMe: In London 3DS. King Boo is chatting it up with his Boo minion about Bowser and Eggman's plan, completely unaware that the minion has attracted the attention of Sonic and Tails, who has followed them, and is hearing everything they're saying. King Boo is completely unaware of this until the minion points them out, but by then, it's too late.

765Frosty, Sparky, Pola, Cuby, Icy, and Blizza, the Snow Spirits are a team of six characters in Vancouver DS' Adventure Tours.

766----
767* AnIcePerson: They have the power to control snow.
768* BatmanGambit: Blizza pulls a pretty good one on Dry Bowser, who has Frosty captive. She taunts him into accepting a match. While Dry Bowser is distracted, Blizza sneaks to go free Frosty from his cage.
769* BigEater: Cuby is heavily implied to be this.
770* ColorCodedCharacters: The Snow Spirits are all based on different snowflake designs, but the best way to tell them apart is their color. Frosty is [[BlueIsHeroic blue]], Sparky is [[RealMenWearPink pink]], Pola is [[TrueBlueFemininity Cyan]], Cuby is yellow, Icy is green, and Blizza is purple.

774* FunPersonified: Sparky is energetic and just wants others to have a good time, to a fault, as he never takes things seriously.
775* TheIngenue: Pola is very soft spoken and gentle.
776* TheEeyore: Icy... is not a very confident or optimistic guy.
777* TheLancer: Blizza. After Frosty is put out of commission in the final chapter of Adventure Tours, Blizza takes the lead and guides the group through Blizland. She even takes it upon herself to free Frosty from his cage.
778* TheLeader: Frosty. In fact, he's the only one who escapes Bowser and Eggman's initial kidnap attempt. Of all the Snow Spirits, he has the most leadership qualities.
779* OriginalGeneration: The first real original characters created for this series.

795* MindProbe: The Phantasmal Fog can read minds, and take the form of that person's thoughts.

797* SealedEvilInACan: The Phantasmal Fog once ran rampant across Europe, until it was sealed within an urn.
