Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (stylized as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games: Sochi 2014) is a minigame compilation sports game released for the Wii U in 2013 by Sega and mh:awesomegames:Nintendo, it is the fourth installment of the Mario & Sonic sub series and the first to be released on the Nintendo Wii U instead of the Nintendo Wii like the previous three games were, it is the first game in the series to be published by Nintendo unlike previous games where they were mainly published by Sega.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The game has a severe lack of content when compared to previous games, as it features nearly all of the events from the previous Winter Games installment, and there are only a few new ones, which are mainly the dream events. Many things haven't been upgraded from previous games like the character roster which still features only 20 characters with no new ones at all.
 * 2) Many of the events utilize the Wii U game pad in a rather poorly executed way, which leads to many of the events being somewhat sluggish to play thanks to this bad playstyle.
 * 3) Legends Showdown is a weak story mode since it copies the idea of characters fighting their fog shadow in the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
 * 4) There's no opening intro, unlike the previous Mario & Sonic games.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The graphics look very beautifully done, even for a Mario & Sonic game, the visuals are top-notch and the colors look very nice.
 * 2) At least the next game, Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, was somewhat a neat improvement, even if it also lacked any features.
