The concept for the game originated after Sega acquired the license to create official tie-in games for the Olympics. They intended to feature ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' characters in the game from the beginning. Because of the Olympics featuring competitive sportsmanship and Sega's friendly relationship with their formal rivals at Nintendo, Sega and Nintendo ultimately agreed to feature ''Super Mario'' characters as well, allowing Mario and Sonic to finally appear together in the same game.

This spawned the ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' subseries. A new installment would be made for nearly every occurrence of the Olympic Games going forward, with the only exception thus far being the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. The series has also been notable for being the only crossover between the ''Super Mario'' and ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series, although the two would also appear together in multiple games of the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.
