Vector appears in | Vector appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. As a Power type character, he can excel in any event that requires strength possessing the second highest power in the game, but he's more difficult to use in running events as a consequence: he's tied with Waluigi for the second worst speed in the game, and his skill is low, tied with both Bowser and Knuckles. His stamina is also tied with Bowser, only losing to Wario. He also has his own swimming stroke, called the Crocodile Paddle. His main rival is Bowser, whom he has to beat in the Mission Mode in both the Wii and DS version. Clearing all the mission will award the player with the Vector Emblem, while getting a Gold Medal in every Event with him will unlock the Vector Crown. | ||

Vector returns as a playable Power type character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. He also gains two new special abilities: When using the Head Slide, Vector falls down on his stomach head-first and moves like a swimming crocodile to accelerate or break through obstacles. Exclusive to the Rocket Ski Jump event in the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|DS version]], Vector can blow up his Gum Balloon to use air streams to his advantage and move at a faster pace. In the [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Wii version]], the Vector Emblem can be unlocked by earning a Gold Medal in every event with him, while in the DS version it is rewarded if the player clears ten missions in Adventure Tours with Vector. A Vector suit for the player's [[Mii]] can be bought in the [[Christmas Village]], giving the Mii Vector's stats. | Vector returns as a playable Power type character in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''.

In the Adventure Tours mode in the [[Nintendo DS]] version, Vector is first mentioned in [[Cubyrinth]] when [[Charmy]] refuses to open a gate unless they bring his friend with them. Later in [[Icepeak]], Vector is seen next to a mission sign and becomes irritated when [[Toad]] calls for him loudly. Upon seeing [[Mario]] and [[Sonic]], he greets the gang and becomes curious about [[Donkey Kong]]. After a short conversation about music, Vector asks Donkey Kong for a [[Short Track 500m]] race to honor their first meeting. After losing to the ape, Vector admits the Chaotix actually came to do research about the mysterious Whitestones, but he got caught up in training for his favorite event. He then decides to join the group on their adventure to have an alibi in front of his two colleagues. He also shamefully remembers having abandoned Charmy in Cubyrinth, so he asks them to head there next. | In the Adventure Tours mode in the [[Nintendo DS]] version, Vector is first mentioned in [[Cubyrinth]] when [[Charmy]] refuses to open a gate unless they bring his friend with them.

Meeting up with the other teams at the top of the castle, Vector and the others are finally ready to retrieve the Legends Trophy, but suddenly [[Eggman Nega]], [[Dry Bowser]] and [[Rouge]] appear, ready to steal both the keys and the prize for themselves. Vector and the others manage to beat them in the final event, Winter Sports Champion Race, and then start to celebrate as the Legends Trophy is finally unlocked from its cage. | In Legends Showdown mode, where the cast of playable characters join forces to win the Legends Trophy, Vector teams up with [[Daisy]], [[Luigi]] and [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]] to take on area 3 of the mysterious castle and retrieve the yellow key. Upon arriving at the castle grounds, mysterious doppelgangers emerge from their shadows, challenging them to multiple events and retreating to higher platforms after each of the team's victory, before disappearing altogether. As Vector and the others finally reach the gate, however, the yellow key starts glowing and summons [[Jet (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Jet]]. After beating him in Snowboard Parallel Giant Slalom, they finally get the key and move on.
