Video: Mario, Sonic, A Rowboat, The Olympics & Satan
That's right, Satan. Le diable. Old Scratch. Mama Tiny. Beelzebub. The Dark One goes by many names, but it takes only one look at the plastic, dead-eyed smiles on these lighter-hued corporate approved multi-ethnic faces to know that something deeply evil is afoot with regards to Mario & Sonic Olympics. The chartreuse wallpaper and hideous red wall hangings serve only to reinforce the feeling that something dark and decaying lies behind the ruse: Mario...and Sonic... together? What ancient evil awakes thus? What horror lurks behind Mario that he should so desperately row? Why, why, O why, Sweet Zombie Jesus, am I tempted to play?
This is what happens when adult men write about a game rated 3+. Don't even look at me, I'm so ashamed...

I'm done with minigame compliations already...I want to play Ghost Squad which comes out next month, because I want to shoot bikini clad women with waterguns and stab them with bananas
That guy was a liiiiiiiiiiitle too happy about crossing the finish line. I'm also a little disappointed there didn't seem to be any power-ups or weapons or anything of that nature. It was just... rowing. I can see that getting very tiresome very quickly.

I hear there are Dream Events that use power-ups. I'm excited for this game at least...
My favorite part is where the hooting and music subside into a frighteningly realistic awkward silence; that sudden stab of awareness that they were getting that excited about simulating a dull, repetitive action, and worse, who could simulate it most efficiently. That guy's jubilation will fade quickly as it dawns on him that his victory is as meaningless as the contest was, and no one will praise him for his achievement.
I'm sure it'll sell a million with that commercial.
