"Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics") is a 2011 sports and party game developed by Sega Japan. It was published by Nintendo in Japan and by Sega in all other regions.

It is the third installment in the Mario & Sonic series after the commercial success of its predecessors and is an official video game of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.
