Dream Events are back in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, and Sega has introduced three all-new activities that you'll be able to enjoy when the full game releases.
You can get a quick taste of them in the trailer up above, but we also have a handy description of each for you below:
Dream Shooting: Aim and take fire at a range of targets placed all around a traditional Japanese manor in this competitive score-based event! At different intervals during the match, flying kites will appear, which players can target for bonus points.
Dream Karate: Fight to light up the most blank spaces featured on the floor to expand your territory, combining the lightning-fast action of Karate with free-for-all gameplay! Every space where an enemy falls by your hand will light up. The player or team that lights up the most spaces at the end of the round is the victor. It's chaos, fun-filled chaos!
Dream Racing: Hop on a hoverboard and zoom through a downhill course filled with question-mark power-ups and challenging obstacles, performing sweet tricks to earn a speed boost and gain the lead. The first one to the bottom wins!
These events will be playable alongside the standard 3D events, retro-themed 2D events, minigames and more found in the game. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 launches on 5th November in the Americas and on the 8th November in Europe.
Looking forward to this one? Do you think you'll be getting a copy this November? Let us know in the comments below.

Wait, weren't these shown already?
Oh, Gosh... 🙄
(Saw Shooting sport)
Not that sport ! 😒
Shooting and Soccer are two sports that i will not even consider to play when i got the game.
Game looks really good. Really really good
@Anti-Matter yea this game will not be appropriate for you. 😉
Shooting is evil
@Luigi-number1
I still will buy Mario & Sonic 2020, but i will not touching Soccer and Shooting at all.
I pretend those sports are never exist.
I will probably play Boxing , Swimming, Surfing, Karate a lot since they are my favorite sports.
@Anti-Matter But the shooting isn't even violent...you're just shooting targets, not other players.
I’m hoping that there’s more Dream Events because I would honestly be disappointed if there was only 3. But i’m still looking forward to this game. And these Dream Events do look pretty fun. The Dream Racing event gave me Sonic Riders vibes.
@Matthew010
But....It still looks like Splatoon and Splatoon shooting style still looks like rated M shooter games. 😕
No, just No.
Strangely, i didn't even felt guilty to blast out the blocks from LEGO CITY undercover with Ultra Ray gun from Astronaut job (1 shoot = 1 car Kaboom) or shooting the aliens that tried to attacking me from Metroid Prime Federation Force or destroying Grocks with Dillon and my Amiimal gunslingers, but i still feel guilty to shoot something like Splatoon or Fortnite style.
@Anti-Matter yea shooting is bad. You must’ve hated the cannons in super Mario 3d world and Kirby games when he eats the enemies and shoots them out or when link slices the monsters with his sword.
Oh wait. Swords are fine right.
@Anti-Matter I'm sorry - I don't understand. In Splatoon, yes, you can shoot the other players. Here, you can't - you just shoot the targets. How do you feel guilty shooting targets?
@Anti-Matter this is a massive bruh moment
My dreams are true YES!!!
I wish this was coming out this week instead of November. Also hoping for more dlc when the actual Olympics come around.
@Matthew010 boxing and Karate are fine though.... but shooting a paper target isn’t... I’m lost
Ordered this to play with my kid. Hopefully it’s fun since I’ve never played a game in this series!
@Matthew010
Ow... 😶
Well... 😔
Shooting genre was kinda very controversy thing for me. It was like a knife straightly in front of me and already touching my skin.
It was really hard to explain why did i still have Double Standard to allow or not allow shooting things. 😣😓
I'm sorry with my poor English to explain from my head.
There are some kid friendly shooting games i knew, far away from Splatoon style (attacking other players) such as LABO blast Gun or Shooting the clay mini games from Go Vacation and those are still tolerable for me, same things also for the shooting things on LEGO CITY undercover, Metroid Prime Federation Force, Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers. The shooting level and the impact for me was like touching my skin, not even harming for me. But, the shooting like Splatoon or Fortnite was like stabbing my skin.
I was really really freak out with shooting genre because after what i have experienced in the past, i didn't even play shooting games but i saw by accidentally the disgusting things from shooting games (attacking other peoples). It still affecting me with my decision to allow or not the shooting stuffs. I still haunted by a guilty and hatred feeling by guns especially with intensity like that.
@Luigi-number1 I think we're all forgetting the real evil here - football. May it have mercy on our souls.
...stealth-gauging if there's interest in another Sonic Riders?
Does anyone know if this will be part of the Nintendo voucher programme?
@WaitroseDad64
Sega is publishing it, so no.
I was already getting this on launch, but now I'm even more hyped! I can't stand soccer or rugby games, so Rio was a bit stale for me.
I'm glad they are not being lazy with this one and are having a lot of variety. Will it top the London game? We shall see.
@Doofenshmirtz Pretty sure the footage was never shown. We only had screenshots and speculation about the Dream Events.
For some reason, Dream Shooting's gameplay is giving me Snowball Scrimmage vibes. Had fun with that dream event in the 2014 game, it involved snowballs! Can it be Christmas already? Hoping to get this one for Christmas.
@Anti-Matter Either you're trolling or need to get a serious grip on reality.
@Rob3008
I wasn't trolling. 🤨
@Anti-Matter
You need to get a grip. Shooting targets with fake guns has to be the least violent thing possible. I can't begin to fathom how shooting people in a video game is like being stabbed - you need to get some help.
Leave Anti-Matter alone. You're not his conscience.
@MrGlubGlub I'm assuming you're his alt
I was disappointed when they skipped 2018 because I like winter sports better than summer. But the dream racing looks like snow boarding (minus the snow) so I'm happy about that. Actually this game looks amazing and I'm glad looks significantly different than Rio. Even though I really liked 2014 Sochi, it was a little too similar to 2010 Vancouver.
