These events are played in places from the Mario and Sonic franchises.

Like in the previous games, players can also participate in one of eight fictional Dream Events, including a new mixed event in which cases can be simultaneously played with snowboarding, skiing and bobsledding players.

Along with returning events, such as skiing, bobsledding and curling, new events include figure skating pairs and snowboarding slope style. Events are controlled either using the Wii Remote MotionPlus and Nunchuk controllers, or the Wii U GamePad, with some events, such as the biathlon, utilising both control methods, for the Wii U version. The players can only choose one of twenty characters that return from the previous two games, participate in a series of sixteen Olympic events.
