Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games - Dream Snowball Scrimmage (Hard)

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games (stylized as Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games: Sochi 2014) is a Wii U game, and is the fourth installment in the Mario & Sonic series. It includes a variety of events from the winter games such as skiing, figure skating, and curling. As the title implies, the game is centered around the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, taking place in Sochi, Russia. Different events uses the Wii Remote Plus controller, Wii U GamePad, or both. As the other games in the series, it features realistic events with ones in Mario's and Sonic's worlds. As the game is a Wii U exclusive, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is the first in the series to not have a handheld version. It is also the first game in the series published by Nintendo outside of Japan and South Korea rather than SEGA, who published the first three games, and the first to feature online multiplayer and a non-pre-rendered opening cutscene. This is the last game in the series to take place during the Winter Olympics.

The game had used Nintendo Network for its online functionality until it was terminated on April 8, 2024.

The basic mode of play where players select one event to play in. The player can change the CPU difficulty level, the music to use in events, and extra options for certain events. The number of players and the team settings are decided upon, each player selects characters to use for an event, then the match begins.

Before each event, there is an event intro screen. Events where all 4 players play at once show the VS screen, displaying which players or teams they are up against. For turn-based events, the current results screen will be shown, similar to the final results screen that shows the current running order prior to the next player or team beginning their turn. For head-2-head events, the tournament grid, showing the 4 players or teams in a tournament bracket, will be shown.

For the latter two types of intro screens, these screens are shown again during the course of an event after a player or team finishes their turn in case of turn-based events, or after a round is complete in case of head-2-head events, until the final results have been determined.

There are some events that put the players in teams. There are also other events that have 8 players vying for 1st place. In certain events, the results of CPU players/teams are simulated, and are shown in the current results screen before the next player/team begins their turn. The length of an event depends on how the event is played and the game settings for the selected event.

There are some events that are played without the GamePad. For these events, the Mario & Sonic Live will be displayed on the GamePad, with Toad hosting the events. Toad will comment at the start and end of events. Miis would give tips on how to play an event based off posts from the Miiverse network; due to the shutdown of Miiverse, the penguins instead now give a preset list of tips for the event. There are some events with a track map that shows where the players are running at the moment; the map can be enlarged to fit the screen by pressing Y.
