Sonic has not been training for the Olympics

Oh, Sonic! How unkind the years have been to you! We remember the days when you dashed through Green Hill Zone at breakneck speeds, a blue, blast-processed blur. Look at you now, wheezing while just keeping pace with an obese plumber. You make us sick.

We're not sure whose idea it was to pit these two rivals against each other in a footrace, but they're to blame for our harsh words with Sega's mascot. Four new screenshots showing off Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games have been unveiled and dropped into our gallery below. Though this image of our favorite hedgehog lagging behind in a sprint event is downright deplorable, we were happy to see Luigi's arms thrust up in victory for a change.
