These mascot suits appeared at E3 2009, which was held in Los Angeles Convention Center. They were there to promote Sonic & Mario at the Olympic Winter Games game for the Wii. Both the suits are of an unusually good quality. Sonic & Mario are both really proportional (though it appears something's gone a bit wrong with Mario's fingers) and Sonic actually looks pretty cool and not mutated. The surface isn't overly fuzzy, appearing more like a crush-velvet fabric, which creates an even enough tone that's not super shiny or inappropriate. If you want to see these in action a video should appear with this link: Mascot Suit Winter Games. The banners are also a good backdrop, full of action and excitement for the game. This is def. one of the better suits to appear in the USA!
