In Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics, there will be a story mode. At the beginning of the game, you arrive in town. It turns out there’s a rivalry between the Mario Gym and the Sonic Gym, and you have to chose between the two. Your choice will have an impact on which sports you will get to train for and compete in.

If you chose the Mario gym, you will get (among other things):

110 metres hurdles
Beach Volley
Peach’s Training Gym
If you chose the Sonic Gym, you will get (among other things):

100 metres
Table Tennis
Amy’s Training Gym
Once you’ve cleared the story mode, you will get the Mario or Sonic costume for your Mii, depending on the route you chose.

Of course, you can also play with your Mii.

When you play with your Mii, you will be able to wear various costumes (such as a Samba Dancer outfit, Fairy clothes and hat, or even a Tails’s suit… there’s 270 of them in total!). But there’s more to the customisation of your Mii. By training at the Champions Road, you get TP (Training Points). Once you get enough of those, your Mii will level up: this allows you to wear higher level gear.

To get the upper hand, your Mii can use special gear in order to become even stronger: boxing gloves, golf clubs, etc… There’s quite a lot of them, (including a Chomp golf club), and they all have their own stats.

But in order to get costumes and gear, you need to use Apples and Melons at the Costume and Gear Shops (respectively), at the Champions Road. How to get Apples and Melons? By training! You can also get some by competing in the Full Marathon, walking a certain number of steps within a time limit, or completing Bonus challenges.
