Mario, Sonic and Final Fantasy at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games: would it be cool?

I wonder: would it be cool if not only Mario and Sonic appeared at the Milano-Cortina 2026 olympics, but also Final Fantasy too (and some guest characters from other Nintendo and Sega franchises set on our Earth, representing Earth)?

Story Mode - The Jenova Game

Intro

The story mode opens with Bowser and Eggman receiving from Kamek information about the Snow Spirits' return. Kamek explains that every four years, when the Snow Spirits come out, the Mushroom Kingdom and Sonic's World merge with the six towns of the Snow Spirits. where the Spirits' Events (Olympic Games) are going to take place.

However, this time the blue snow spirit Frosty appears mutated, and a certain silver-haired pretty boy manifests, telling Bowser and Eggman that he has the power of Jenova, which can travel through worlds, and with that power he infected all six Snow Spirits turning them into Jenova Spirit. Bowser Jr. mocks him telling him that "he looks like a princess". The white-haired man then asks Frosty to show him his true form, and Frosty suddenly transforms into the dragon Bahamut. Impressed, Eggman and Bowser decide to ally with the man, wanting to crash the Spirit Games again and maybe use the power of Jenova to turn the world of the snow spirits into their empire. The man introduces himself as Sephiroth, and claims, to the utter horror of Bowser and Eggman, that people from world were also called by the Snow Spirits and that "a part of him, a boy so beautiful and yet so unsettling, so strong and manly and yet so frail and destabilized, just like snow" is going to compete in the Spirit Events, and that they may have "the guy in the red hat" and "the blue hedgehog", but that boy is "his and only his".

As Bowser, Eggman and Sephiroth are teleported to the towns of the Snow Spirits due to the Spirit Events, Sephiroth appears among a terrified crowd in Frostown/Bahamutown, followed by Bowser, Eggman, Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic, and threatens a Toad announcer with his Bahamut, proclaiming that "the Spirit Events have been canceled". Bowser, Eggman, Bowser Jr. and Metal Sonic cheer for Sephiroth.

"I hereby announce the start of the Jenova Game. As I now control the six Snow Spirits, I can send natural disasters to the entire world. Mario, Sonic, Cloud, I want to challenge you all. You have to beat all the Jenova Guardians scattered throughout the six Spirit Towns, and free the Snow Spirits from Jenova's power. If you manage to break all Snow Spirits free in seven days, then the Spirit Events will be safe. But, if you fail, then I'll turn this world into absolute chaos."

Mario, Sonic and Cloud awaken in Sparkleton, now renamed Ifriton, and turned into a mess with erupting volcanoes and magma, alongside Toad. Toad gets acquainted with Cloud, who tells him that Sephiroth is his enemy and he has a score to settle with him. Toad tells Mario, Sonic and Cloud about Bowser, Eggman and Sephiroth's attack on Frostown, and soon, the group decides to start competing in the game.

Locations (Spirit Towns)

Each location, aside from the final one, has two events bosses (a miniboss that you unlock as a playable character by defeating it, a boss that is not a playable character

  • Ifriton (Sparkleton): The Spirit Town ruled by the Sparkling Spirit Sparky, AKA Ifrit. It's plagued by erupting volcanoes and magma. Its bosses are Jet, Dry Bones and the special boss Ifrit.
  • Leviastraits (Polastraits): The Spirit Town ruled by the Waving Spirit Pola, AKA Leviathan. It's plagued by tsunami and whirlpools. Its bosses are Petey Piranha, Chaos and the special boss Leviathan.
  • Ramyrinth (Cubyrinth): The Spirit Town ruled by the Thundering Spirit Cuby, AKA Ramuh. It's plagued by thunderstorms and earthquakes. Its bosses are Omega, King Goomba and the special boss Ramuh.
  • Shivapeak (Icepeak): The Spirit Town ruled by the Freezing Spirit Icy, AKA Shiva. It's plagued by blizzards and avalanches. Its bosses are King Boo, Nack the Weasel and the special boss Shiva.
  • Odinland (Blizland): The Spirit Town ruled by the Heroic Spirit Blizza, AKA Odin. It's plagued by darkness, fog and ghosts. Its bosses are Orbot and Kamek and the special boss Odin.
  • Bahamutown (Frostown): The Spirit Town ruled by the Leader Spirit Frosty, AKA Bahamut. It's been turned into a futuristic amusement park in perpetual night, which contains Bowser Jr's arcade/casino Koopa Kasino and Metal Sonic's nightclub/disco Metal Madness. Its bosses are Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic, who you have to seek out in their lairs and beat (before challenging them in an event, you have to beat Bowser Jr. in a minigame of poker and Metal Sonic in a dancing minigame) in order to get their keys and access the center of the town, where you challenge special boss Bahamut. After finishing the game, the "Kamurocho-style" bar called New Serena appears where Bahamut was fought: there you can meet "four travelers from a faraway kingdom known as Japan" (Ryu Hayabusa, Kazuma Kiryu, Travis Touchdown and Ryo Hazuki), who reveal you that they are the Japanese national team who won the 2026 Olympics, and you can talk to to play the "Gauntlets".
  • The Heart of Jenova: A castle that has appeared in Bahamutown, comprised of a fusion between Bowser's Castle, Eggman's Factory and Sephiroth's Northern Cave and acting as the trio's hideout. The final bosses are Bowser and Dr. Eggman (as a tag team), then Sephiroth as the final event boss, and then the final boss, the special boss Jenova BOWMAN (a fusion between Bowser, Eggman, Sephiroth and Frosty/Bahamut).
  • The Aurora Ruins/Wanda Dimension (DLC: The Aurora Ruins): An ancient Spirit Town which used to be ruled by the Snow Spirit Aurora, who was corrupted and became Culex. It's now a barren wasteland covered in mist. Its bosses are Squall, Zidane, Tidus and Clive, which, like Bowser Jr and Metal Sonic, can be beaten in any order. Tidus, Squall, Zidane and Clive are the four crystals of Culex, which took the personalities and looks of people from other worlds after absorbing them. Beating all of them allows you to go fight the special boss Culex. You need to have finished the story to access it.

Gameplay of the Jenova Game

The game plays in a similar way to the Adventure Tour of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the DS, which this game is a sequel to. It involves Mario, Sonic and Cloud, alongside a non-playable Toad, traveling through the Spirit Towns, interacting with characters and doing special missions related to both Olympic and Dream Events. Doing missions nets you crystals that are used to break walls of Jenova constructs that keep you from progressing.

You can switch between Mario, Sonic and Cloud at any time: Mario's field ability is going into pipes and use power ups, Sonic can use his spin dash and homing attack to create pathways and knock down bridges, and Cloud can use his Buster Sword to break crates and cut chains. Some character events can only be played as Mario or as Sonic or as Cloud, for instance Luigi only wants to compete with Mario, Tails only with Sonic, and Tifa only with Cloud.

Some missions allow you to beat certain characters in events, causing them to join your party and become playable in missions (aside from missions which are locked to specific characters). Each character has a special challenge minigame, most of which are based on Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the DS.

Bosses are of two types: some are played out like normal events (with special conditions) where you have to beat the boss, while some others, called Special Bosses (such as the transformed forms of the Snow Spirits and the final boss Jenova BOWMAN) are fought like platformer/action battles involving you switching between Mario (using his ground pound and fireballs), Sonic (using his spindash and homing attacks) and Cloud (using the buster sword). Bosses can be refought, including special bosses. Most minibosses, AKA event bosses that don't conclude a world, are unlocked in most modes by beating them during the story (though they're never playable in the story itself), while main bosses and special bosses are never playable.
