SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES for iPhone

Game Snapshot

SONIC AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES - TOKYO 2020™ is a free-to-start mobile sports title from SEGA Games Co., Ltd. It’s an official entry tied to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic lineup and blends classic Sonic action with Olympic-style competitions. Players travel to Tokyo with Sonic and his companions, but the trip is derailed when Dr. Eggman takes the city hostage — leaving you to unravel his scheme while competing in a variety of events.

Storyline and Main Goal

• Sonic and his allies arrive in Tokyo to enjoy the Summer Games, only to find the city under Dr. Eggman’s control.
• Your mission is to thwart Eggman’s interference and keep the Olympic festivities on track.
• Progress is made by completing sporting events and side challenges that drive the narrative forward.

Roster and Game Modes

• Select from a 16-character lineup that includes familiar heroes, supporting characters, and even some rivals — every character can be used within the same story arc.
• Modes include the main Olympic-focused EX Events and a collection of shorter minigames tied to Tokyo attractions.
• Gameplay keeps the arcade energy of Sonic while reproducing the mechanics of each sport for a recognizable competitive feel.

Sporting Events You’ll Play

• Hammer Throw
• 100m sprint (dash)
• 400m Hurdles
• Plus a total of 16 distinct Olympic-style events that follow their real-world rules and measurements.
  Each event mirrors its real-life counterpart (timed races in seconds, distance-based throws, etc.), letting you experience the pacing and decision-making of actual athletes.

Mini-Games Inspired by Tokyo

• Claw Machine (arcade-style prize grab)
• Tokyo Skytree Jump (vertical timing challenge)
• Number Lock puzzle (quick logic test)
• The game contains six mini-challenges in total, each themed after popular Tokyo landmarks or tourist attractions to give a short, local-flavor distraction between main events.

Leaderboards and Global Competition

• An in-game ranking system records your scores alongside friends and players worldwide.
• For every event you can view standings showing username, country, and final result (time, distance, or points depending on the discipline).
• Country tallies aggregate individual points so you can see how nations compare overall; leading nations frequently include the United States, Great Britain, and China.
• There’s no in-game chat to communicate with fellow country players, but the leaderboards provide a clear picture of international competition.

Alternatives and Related Titles

• Sonic the Olympian — another entry that channels Sonic into Olympic atmospheres, worth trying if you want a different take.
• Sonic Jump Fever — a high-energy, vertical-action spin-off that captures Sonic’s speed in a different arcade format.

Overall Impression

A lively, interactive sports experience that blends Sonic’s signature speed with structured Olympic events. It’s easy to pick up, offers global leaderboards for competitive play, and includes bite-sized mini-games that showcase Tokyo’s sights — a fun choice for fans of both Sonic and Olympic-style competition.
