In a recent chat, former SEGA producer Ryoichi Hasegawa opened up about the legendary collaboration between Mario and Sonic in the Olympic Games series. Once rivals, their first game together set the stage for something special. Hasegawa mentioned that Nintendo insisted Mario's foot always be in front of Sonic's in artwork—an amusing detail that shows how much they cared about the image!
While this partnership paved the way for future crossovers, including hints at characters from Zelda and Dragon Ball, it feels like that chapter might be closing with the last game released in 2020. What do you think about the legacy of Mario and Sonic together?
