Team Sonic

Image	Name	Stats	Description	Events
	Sonic	Power: 6 Speed: 9 Technique: 3	A blue hedgehog with a penchant for high speed, Sonic is a free spirit with a love for adventure. He despises anything that is unfair and will get into trouble to help anyone in need. For Sonic, saving the world is just another thrilling episode in his life. He's currently hoping to turn his innate speed into some quick gold.	All events
	Tails	Power: 3.5 Speed: 5.5 Technique: 9	Sonic's best friend and trusty sidekick, Tails can use his two tails to fly, allowing him to lend Sonic a helping hand with hard-to-reach places. Tails is also somewhat of a technical genius, applying his mechanical expertise to invent all sorts of vehicles and other robotic contraptions. Undaunted by Sonic's speed, he's determined to use his wits to propel himself to a gold medal.	All events (Wii U) 100m Freestyle & Beach Volleyball (3DS)
	Amy	Power: 6.5 Speed: 5.5 Technique: 6	An over-enthusiastic, but good-natured hedgehog girl with a preference for cute things, sweets, and shopping. Amy's constantly trying to close the gap between her and Sonic, but the Blue Blur is one tough guy to catch. She hopes to spend the Olympic Games enjoying the sights of Rio, and is looking to bring home a gold medal as a souvenir.	All events (Wii U) 100m Freestyle & Rhythmic Gymnastics (3DS)
	Knuckles	Power: 8 Speed: 4.5 Technique: 5.5	A red echidna that boasts some serious muscle, Knuckles is what one might call "best frenemies" with Sonic. He's a capable treasure hunter, but his straightforward and trusting nature gets him mixed up with less-scrupulous characters on occasion. He's eager to test his formidable agility and prodigious strength to the fullest in the Olympic Games.	All events (Wii U) Javelin Throw & Boxing (3DS)
	Blaze	Power: 5.5 Speed: 6 Technique: 6.5	A noble princess from another dimension who is also guardian of the Sol Emeralds. Blaze has a kind heart, and always stands up for those who can't stand up for themselves. In addition to being athletic, she also has the power to control flames. After a bit of time away, she's once more crossed over from her dimension in order to rekindle old friendships and test her skills in the Olympic Games.	All events (Wii U) Equestrian & Rhythmic Gymnastics (3DS)
	Shadow	Power: 5 Speed: 9 Technique: 4	A black-and-red hedgehog who bears a striking resemblance to Sonic. While Shadow may seem like Sonic's rival, he personally hates for the two of them to be seen together. A stoic perfectionist, Shadow has a great deal of pride in his own exceptional abilities. He hopes the Olympic Games will provide him the ultimate competition - one he has no intention of losing.	All events (Wii U) Football & 100m Dash (3DS)
	Silver	Power: 3.5 Speed: 6.5 Technique: 8	This silver hedgehog from the future has a complicated past with Sonic, but has been known to go on world-saving adventures with him. Silver can use his telekinetic powers to move objects or even levitate himself. He has a rather straightforward mindset, loves world peace and blue skies. The true and fair spirit of competition cultivated by the Olympic Games is what drew Silver back from the future.	All events (Wii U) 110m Hurdles & Archery (3DS)
	Dr. Eggman	Power: 3 Speed: 6 Technique: 9	This evil scientific genius needs no introduction. Dr. Eggman is constantly plotting to fulfill his hopes and ambitions of conquering the world and rebuilding it into his ideal "Eggmanland", but Sonic always manages to stop him. His current madcap scheme is to sweep the medal race, then hijack the competition and turn the Olympic Games into his own Eggman-sponsored affair.	All events (Wii U) 110m Hurdles & Equestrian (3DS)
	Metal Sonic	Power: 5.5 Speed: 9 Technique: 3.5	This high-performance combat robot was built by Dr. Eggman for the sole purpose of defeating Sonic the Hedgehog. Metal Sonic's metallic frame resembles Sonic, as does his speed, power, and endurance. Like Sonic, Metal Sonic plans to put his exceptional speed to the test at the Olympic Games.	All events (Wii U) 100m Dash & BMX (3DS)
	Vector	Power: 8 Speed: 3.5 Technique: 6.5	This crafty croc leads the Chaotix Detective Agency. Vector may speak in a rough tone and he may not sweat the details, but uses his powers of deduction to solve any case with dignity and respect. Vector is a true leader with dreams of becoming rich, but is perpetually broke since he often takes jobs that help people but don't pay. There's a strong possibility he'll be competing in the Olympic Games on an empty stomach.	All events (Wii U) Golf & Table Tennis (3DS)

Guests

Image	Name	Stats	Description	Events
	Jet	Power: 7 Speed: 8 Technique: 3	Jet is the leader of the Babylon Rogues, and Sonic's rival when it comes to "Extreme Gear" racing. His mastery of the board is so impressive, he's earned himself the name of "Legendary Wind Master". When he's not seeking treasure, he's looking for new speed challenges. The pace and technical skill required in ball sports caught his eye, and he intends to add a few Olympic medals to his collection.	Football
	Wave	Power: 7 Speed: 8 Technique: 3	A member of the Babylon Rogues, Wave serves as the team's mechanic as well as strategist. She can't abide anyone she considers less intelligent than herself - which in her mind is pretty much everyone else. Nevertheless, she still admires Jet and serves as his faithful follower. She seems especially fond of Olympic events that involve riding on things.	BMX
	Rouge	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	A sultry bat with an air of mystery who specializes in jewels, Rouge is a brave and seasoned spy who boasts excellent footwork in a fight. Although a treasure hunter by nature, her love for gems can sometimes cause her thieving tendencies to take over. Perhaps she entered the competition in order to get her hands on a shiny and sate her lust for glitter.	Beach Volleyball (Wii U) Golf (3DS)
	Espio	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	This straight-laced detective is the voice of reason in the Chaotix Detective Agency, but his reserved demeanor hides a burning sense of justice and a refusal to let evil have its way. Trained as a ninja, this chameleon is a master of throwing kunai, and can vanish using his Leaf Swirl technique. For Espio, these Olympic Games are merely a step along the path to perfecting his art.	Triple Jump (Wii U) Long Jump (3DS)
	Sticks	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	A free-spirited badger who lives on the outskirts of the jungle. Sticks is a bit wild due to her woodland upbringing, but she's a talented hunter who can take down any prey with her trusty boomerang. She's also obsessed with things that glitter, and so has come to Rio after hearing she might be able to win a shiny medal.	Archery
	Zavok	Power: 9 Speed: 3.5 Technique: 5.5	Zavok is the strongest of the sinister Zeti and the leader of the Deadly Six. As the last disciple of Master Zik, he's a certified force to be reckoned with. Along with his formidable physical prowess, a calm demeanor and penchant for quick-thinking makes him well-suited to leadership. His greatest joy is in improving his skills, which makes the straight-forward competitive nature of the Olympic Games quite appealing.	Boxing
	Zazz	Power: 7 Speed: 8 Technique: 3	The wild and crazy member of Dr. Eggman's Deadly Six, Zazz is every bit the metalhead he looks like and and his unruly and unpredictable personality makes him destructive even by Deadly Six standards. He hates boredom above all else, and will fly into a rage when held back from a fight. His competitive style is a bit more chaotic than is usually seen in the Olympic Games.	Table Tennis
	Cream	Unknown	N/A	Beach Volleyball (3DS only)
	Omega	Unknown	N/A	Javelin Throw (3DS only)
	Eggman Nega	Unknown	N/A	Long Jump (3DS only)

Team Mario

Image	Name	Stats	Description	Events

	Luigi	Power: 5 Speed: 6 Technique: 7	This green-capped Mario brother is easily scared, but a kind person at heart. Although he often finds himself overshadowed by his older brother, he's actually quite skillful himself. He's come to Rio with the goal of winning more Olympic medals than Mario, who always seems to hog all the attention.	All events (Wii U) Table Tennis & 110m Hurdles (3DS)
	Peach	Power: 4 Speed: 5 Technique: 9	The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She's come to the Olympic Games with a bevy of Toads by her side, and is driven to put on a brilliant performance in the name of all the Toads back home who couldn't attend.	All events (Wii U) Golf & 100m Freestyle (3DS)
	Daisy	Power: 6.5 Speed: 8 Technique: 3.5	The peppy princess from Sarasaland is having a blast at the Olympic Games! In her downtime, she plans to chow down at fine restaurants and maybe get a little shopping in with Peach.	All events (Wii U) Football & Rhythmic Gymnastics (3DS)
	Yoshi	Power: 6 Speed: 8 Technique: 4	This voracious friend of the Mario brothers hails from Yoshi's Island. He uses his long tongue to eat just about anything, but is especially fond of melons and other fruits. He's attending these Olympic Games with a host of colorful friends at his side.	All events (Wii U) Football & 100m Dash (3DS)
	Wario	Power: 8 Speed: 4 Technique: 6	Money, money, money! This scoundrel has taken on all sorts of jobs in his pursuit for cash, including treasure hunter, adventurer, and even president of a game company. His latest scheme involved dominating the Olympic Games with the power of garlic, thus allowing him to hog all the valuable gold medals for himself.	All events (Wii U) Javelin Throw & Archery (3DS)
	Waluigi	Power: 4 Speed: 6 Technique: 8	This oddball sports a hat with an upside-down L on the front. Although his distinctively scrawny physique leaves him without much power, he makes up for it with flexibility and athleticism. Despite his seemingly lackadaisical attitude, he actually trains quite hard behind the scenes.	All events (Wii U) Long Jump & BMX (3DS)
	Bowser	Power: 9 Speed: 3 Technique: 6	The vicious and egotistical King of the Koopas! He's come to these Olympic Games with a host of seasoned minions in tow, and ordered them to win gold on penalty of fire breath - even though he plans to keep all of them for himself. It's just what any good villain would do.	All events (Wii U) Golf & Boxing (3DS)
	Bowser Jr.	Power: 6 Speed: 6.5 Technique: 5.5	Bowser's prankster of a son. Since Dad spoiled him rotten, he now expects to get his way. Despite his selfishness, he still holds Father in high regard, and wants nothing more than to impress him.	All events (Wii U) Long Jump & Equestrian (3DS)
	Donkey Kong	Power: 9 Speed: 4 Technique: 5	Although this mild-mannered king of the jungle isn't the brightest banana in the bunch, he boasts exceptional strength with which he hopes to dominate the Olympic Games. Since DK and his friends normally live in the jungle, these Olympic Games are perfect for his training regimen.	All events (Wii U) Boxing & Beach Volleyball (3DS)

Guests

Image	Name	Stats	Description	Events
	Diddy Kong	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	Although this simian lacks the brute strength of his buddy Donkey Kong, he makes up for it with keen agility and technique. This skill set makes him particularly well-suited for dodging tackles in rugby sevens.	Rugby Sevens (Wii U) 110m Hurdles (3DS)
	Nabbit	Power: 7 Speed: 8 Technique: 3	This mysterious creature carries a large sack over its shoulder, and also conducts research about Mario from a base on Secret Island. He's surprisingly fast despite the hefty sack, and hopes to use that speed to full effect in the Olympic Games.	100m Dash
	Wendy	Power: 8 Speed: 3 Technique: 7	This lone girl among the seven Koopalings has a bullish attitude and always seems angry. She's also very style-conscious - wearing a necklace, bracelets and high heels. Because of her personality, her only focus now is on winning the Olympic Games.	100m Freestyle
	Larry	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	One of Bowser's seven Koopaling henchmen. His unique ruffled mohawk and blue head star give him a flashy appearance. In the Olympic Games, he performs acrobatic movements on horseback to thrill the crowd!	Equestrian
	Rosalina	Power: 3 Speed: 7 Technique: 8	A mysterious woman who travels aboard the Comet Observatory starship. She's taller than Peach and Daisy, and has an air of mystique about her.

	Dry Bowser	Power: 9 Speed: 3.5 Technique: 5.5	Bowser's skeletal form. This bony transformation grants him the agility of lightweight competitors while maintaining his heavyweight power. Only those who've boned up on their skill set can hope to pull off such a humerus technique.	Javelin Throw
