| Game Summary |
| ___________________________________________________________________________|
| /
|/Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is, at heart, a suite of Olympic-themed
| minigames. The games are loosely held together by a few game-wide objectives
| and Circuits in which the player competes for points from event-to-event,
| with the most points winning the gold medal at the end of the Circuit. The
| game also has several unlockables for achievements. These unlockables
| include emblems of recognition, extra events, extra circuits and extra
| characters.
|
| The game also functions as a major promotional tool for the upcoming Olympics
| in Beijing, China. The Olympic logo is used throughout, and the game is
| officially licensed by the IOC.

| 100m
|
| Event Type : Race (running)
| Concurrent Players : 1-4 human, 1-7 computer (8 max)
| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : The standard 100m race; reach the finish line before
| : everyone else.
|
| How To Play : Essentially, run as fast as you can. There's no strategy
| : or stamina in this event, so just shake the controllers
| : until your arms fall off.
|
| Tips : The magnitude of your gestures don't affect your speed;
| : only the frequency. So, basically the most efficient,
| : effective method is to do a virtual drumroll with the
| : controller and nunchuk.
|

| 400m
|
| Event Type : Race (running)
| Concurrent Players : 1-4 human, 1-7 computer (8 max)
| How To Unlock : Unlock Comet Circuit (Medal in Planet Circuit)*
| Description : This is a longer foot race that brings in the aspect of
| : stamina into the gameplay.
|
| How To Play : Run while keeping a close eye on your stamina. To regain
| : stamina, stop running (your character will keep running,
| : but stop moving the controller). Your stamina will only
| : start to run out when you start running in the red area
| : of your meter at the top left. During the last 100m,
| : hold down A to spring and use the rest of your stamina.
|
| Tips : The key to this event is to carefully balance your
| : running speed at the top of the blue area. This, though,
| : is a lot harder than it sounds. With practice, though,
| : you can master this.
| :
| : Balance your speed on the top of the blue until the
| : final 100m, then you should have enough stamina to
| : sprint the last part. Don't worry about other
| : competitors passing you; chances are they'll tire out in
| : the end.

| 4x100m Relay
|
| Event Type : Race (running, relay)
| Concurrent Players : 1-4 human, 1-7 computer (8 max)
| How To Unlock : Unlock Moonlight Circuit (Medal in Jupiter, Saturn,
| : Mercury and Venus circuits).
| Description : The standard 100m dash, but with a relay function added
| : in.
|
| How To Play : From the start, it's a standard 100m race. Towards the
| : end of a stretch, though, your speed will lock and
| : you'll need to handle the handoff. Press B to start your
| : partner running, then swing the WiiMote down to execute
| : the handoff. Run another 100m, repeat, run another 100m,
| : repeat, finish the race.
|
| Tips : Press B fairly shortly after your speed gets locked, and
| : execute the handoff a good bit before you actually reach
| : your partner; I've never actually found a 'too early'.
| :
| : You're much more likely to handoff too late than too
| : early, so lean on the early side. As far as running, see
| : the tips for 100m.

| 110m Hurdles
|
| Event Type : Race (running)
| Concurrent Players : 1-4 human, 1-7 computer (8 max)
| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : The standard 100m, but with hurdles.
|
| How To Play : Running is identical to the 100m race. To jump the
| : hurdles, press B shortly before you reach each one.
|
| Tips : This event is all about the hurdles - if you
| : successfully jump them, your running speed won't matter
| : as much. Jumping should be slightly before you reach
| : the hurdle itself; with practice you'll master the
| : timing.
| :
| : One reader suggests intentionally NOT using the nunchuk
| : - I haven't tried this, but if you're having difficulty,
| : it may be worth a try.

| 400m Hurdles
|
| Event Type : Race (running)
| Concurrent Players : 1-4 human, 1-7 computer (8 max)
| How To Unlock : Unlock Meteorite Circuit (Medal in Sunlight Circuit)*
| Description : A combination of hurdles and 400m; you have to both jump
| : hurdles and monitor your stamina.
|
| How To Play : Running and stamina work just like in the 400m, and
| : jumping hurdles works just like in the 110m Hurdles.
|
| Tips : The stamina tips included above apply here too; try to
| : balance your speed at the top of the blue on your speed
| : meter in the top left.
| :
| : Again, one reader suggests intentionally NOT using the
| : nunchuk - I haven't tried this, but if you're having
| : difficulty, it may be worth a try.

| Long Jump
|
| Event Type : Performance (measurement)
| Concurrent Players : 1
| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : Jump as far as you can. Or as "long" as you can, so to
| : speak.
|
| How To Play : When your turn is up, run with the controllers the
| : standard way. Once your speed is locked, jerk the
| : controller upward as close to the white foul line as
| : possible.
|
| Tips : Running at max speed is important; but the more crucial
| : aspect of this event is the jump itself. The motion is
| : very delicate - jerking very hard at all will result in
| : an over jump and a very short jump; but barely moving
| : will result in a bad jump as well.
| :
| : The only way to master the jump itself is practice,

| Triple Jump

| Event Type : Performance (measurement)
| Concurrent Players : 1
| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : The same as the long jump, but there's three jumps one
| : after the other (the first is called the 'Hop', the
| : second the 'Step' and the third the 'Jump').
|
| How To Play : Run with the controllers as usually, then hop (by
| : jerking up on the controller) the first time as you
| : reach the foul line. Then, right as you hit the ground,
| : jerk up on the nunchuk to accomplish the step. Then,
| : again, right as you reach the ground after the step,
| : jerk up on the controller again for the final jump.
|
| Tips : Like the long jump, this is entirely dependent on how
| : well you jerk the controller. Too hard or too soft will
| : doom you, and the happy medium is very small.
| :
| : With practice, though, you'll get it. In my experience,
| : the step and jump are much less sensitive than the
| : initial hop.

| Description : Throw the hammer as far as you can.
|
| How To Play : When your turn comes up, press A to lift the hammer,
| : then spin it as fast as you can around your head.
| : Eventually, you'll get a countdown until when you have
| : to throw it by - throw it before the countdown reaches
| : 0 by pressing B to let go.
|
| Tips : There are two main facets of this spinning and throwing.
| : For spinning, spin the controller as fast as you
| : possibly can (duh). The more delicate part of the event
| : tends to be the actual throwing - you might find you
| : quite frequently hit the poles on either side.
| :
| : The key I've found is to throw a little bit later than
| : feels natural. As long as you get it through the opening
| : it'll fly the same distance; where you release it
| : doesn't matter.

|
| How To Play : Start running the standard way, then swing the

| : don't cross the foul line.
|
| Tips : Throwing the javelin is delicate here like in the long
| : jump and triple jump, but also delicate is making sure
| : you don't cross the foul line. You'll actually keep
| : going 3-4 steps after you make the throwing motion, so
| : fouls are frequent.
| :
| : The best time to throw the javelin is just past halfway
| : down the on-screen meter; any later and you'll likely
| : cross the foul line.

| How To Unlock : Unlock Planet Circuit (Medal in Stardust Circuit)*
| Description : Specify a height for the bar, then jump over it. You'll
| : get 3 tries per height, and you can keep going until you
| : fail or until you reach the maximum height (2.6m).
|
| How To Play : Specify your height, then run in the standard motion
| : until your speed locks. When you reach the pink-to-blue
| : mat, jump as late as you can (closest to the end of the
| : blue area). As you go over the bar, jerk the nunchuk
| : upwards to pull your legs over the bar.
|
| Tips : Running speed, as always, is important, but mostly the
| : entire event revolves around the initial jump and the
| : nunchuk jerk.
| :
| : Unlike the long jump, there is no sensitivity to how
| : strong you pull the controller. Instead, your jump
| : height is dependent on your running speed and how late
| : you jump from the mat - so, jump as late as possible.
| :
| : When going over the bar, pull up on the nunchuk just
| : before your legs pass over the bar to dodge it.
| :
| : As you succeessfully make jumps, you'll get "hot" and
| : become more likely to make the following jump; for this
| : reason, it's good to slowly raise your height from
| : jump-to-jump than jump ahead all at once.
| :
| : The highest possible score (2.6m) really isn't that hard
| : to achieve in this event.

| Description : Specify your height, then try to vault over it. You'll
| : get 3 tries per height, and you can keep going until you
| : fail or reach the maximum height.
|
| How To Play : Specify your height, then run in the standard way until
| : your speed locks. Like the high jump, you want to plant
| : the vault as late in the blue area as you can. Plant the
| : vault by swinging down, then make the running motion
| : again to try and propel yourself up and over the bar.
|
| Tips : Like the high jump, this event relies largely on timing
| : on when you plant the bar. The higher you're trying, the
| : shorter the blue area will be.
| :
| : The running motion at the end is important as well, but
| : by now you should have plenty of practice with that.

| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : As you bounce on the trampoline, execute tricks by
| : pressing A, B and twisting the controller.
|
| How To Play : At the start, bounce on the trampoline by jerking
| : upwards on the controller just before you hit the
| : trampoline on each fall. Once you start bouncing above
| : 7 feet, you'll begin to receive tricks to execute
| : involving press A, B and twisting the controller. As you
| : successfully execute tricks, the tricks will get more
| : complicated. Jerk upwards each time you near the
| : trampoline to jump higher and have more time to execute
| : subsequent tricks.
|
| Tips : As is becoming far and far more common, there really
| : isn't a trick to doing well in this event - just
| : practice.
| :
| : At first, twisting the controller for part of a trick
| : seems very non-intuitive, but you'll get used to it.
| :
| : Jerking up on the controller to jump higher is crucial
| : to having enough time to complete the more difficult
| : tricks.
| :
| : According to Vgamer23, playing the event with a
| : character with a higher skill stat will result in a
| : shorter list of commands.

| How To Unlock : Unlock Cosmos Circuit (Medal in Supernova Circuit)*
| Description : After jumping off the vault, execute flips by dropping
| : the two parts of the controller, then stick the landing.
|
| How To Play : This event can be divided into four parts. First, run as
| : usual (getting old, isn't it?). Second, jump off the
| : vault by jerking up on the WiiMote right as your
| : character lands on the springboard (this will control
| : how high you get and, in turn, how long you have to
| : execute tricks). Third, while in the air, execute flips
| : via one of the following motions: swing the WiiMote
| : down; swing the nunchuk down; swing both down at once.
| : There are flip combos as well, though it's rather
| : difficult to pinpoint what they are. Last, when you
| : land, make the running motion again to balance yourself.
|
| Tips : Running is still running.
| :
| : Springing is like the step and jump of the triple jump -
| : swing the moment you hit the board.
| :
| : Annoyingly, one of the best way to execute tricks is
| : just to swing madly to ensure you execute a new trick
| : the moment the last one is done.
| :
| : The only general tip is to try not to be executing a
| : flip when you land.

| Description : Using your rifle, shoot the clays as they fly out.
|
| How To Play : The event is divided into 8 rounds. In each round, you
| : need to accurately stop the moving dot when it's over
| : the center of the heart. The closer you come, the larger
| : your area of shooting will be for that round. Then,
| : shoot the clays as they are fired from cannons on either
| : side.
|
| Tips : Correctly stopping the dot in the middle of the heart is
| : critical to this event; or, more specifically, stopping
| : it within the two center rings is critical. You can
| : still be quite successful if you stop the dot in the
| : outer ring, but stopping it outside either ring is a
| : recipe for disaster. Anticipate the dot's movement.
| :
| : Then, for the actual shooting, pay attention to the
| : arrows at side of the screen to see where the next clay
| : will be coming from.
| :
| : By default, I recommend aiming on where the cannon in
| : your view is pointing; clays shot by the cannon you can
| : see tend to spend less time on the screen. Also, when
| : two clays are flying at once, aim for the one coming
| : from the closer cannon first.

| Description : Row to the finish before the other competitors by
| : pressing the displayed button combinations and pulling
| : on the controllers.
|
| How To Play : From the start, button combinations will be displayed -
| : Z+B, Z+A and A+B. When a combination is displayed, hold
| : down those buttons and quickly pull back on the

| : will disappear and you'll just need to row madly to the

|
| Tips : Usually Z+B is the combination for the first 10-12
| : strokes. After that, Z+A will start to appear
| : occasionally with increasing frequency. Then, finally,
| : A+B will start to appear. Towards the end of the race,

| How To Unlock : Unlock Stardust Circuit (Medal in Moonlight Circuit)*
| Description : Over three rounds, try to his the center of the target
|
| How To Play : For each arrow, hold down A and B and pull back on the
| : WiiMote to focus on the target. Tilt the WiiMote and
| : nunchuk to align the two crosshairs one over the other -
| : they're flashing when they're aligned. Then, release
| : A+B to fire. Remember to factor in the wind.
|
| Tips : Get a stress ball; this is, in my opinion, easily the
| : most aggravating event in the game. Aiming the nunchuk
| : is extremely delicate and difficult to master, and it's
| : very hard to hold the WiiMote steady while releasing
| : A+B.
| :
| : There are a few ways to counter this. First of all,
| : don't release the moment the crosshairs start flashing
| : over the location you want; hold them still for a
| : second and make sure they aren't still moving before you
| : release A+B. Try to hold the controllers against your
| : legs or a table or other firm object to keep them from
| : reacting to your own twicthes.
| :
| : As far as the wind, a wind less than 3mph tends to have
| : no effect; 4-6mph warrants a slight adjustment; 7mph or
| : above warrants a major adjustment.
| :
| : One reader also suggests releasing the B button while
| : aiming (the arrow doesn't fire until you release both
| : buttons) so that your hand doesn't twitch as much when
| : you release.
| :
| : A player named Kevin has suggested that, when dealing
| : with diagonal winds, the horizontal wind affects the
| : shot more than the vertical wind, so adjust accordingly.

| How To Unlock : Initially Available
| Description : Race to the finish using your character's swim style.
|
| How To Play : Hold down B to charge up before the race, then swing
| : the WiiMote down the moment the race begins. Then, using
| : your character's swim stroke (I won't detail them here
| : since the in-game instructions give a much better
| : demonstration), swim as fast as you can. Your stamina
| : meter will decrease as you swim; as it gets near the
| : bottom, press B right as it empties to receive a speed
| : boost and a stamina boost. Swing the controller down
| : when you reach the wall to turn around without losing
| : speed.
|
| Tips : This event is all about timing the stamina meter.
| : Swimming fast is important, but easy to master; it's
| : important to note that none of the strokes require
| : timing, so ignore your character's on-screen depiction
| : and just swim as fast as you can.
| :
| : For the stamina meter, press B right as it hits empty
| : to get your boost - this is critical to doing well.
| :
| : For the turn, just swing down as soon as you see the
| : icon. Sometimes it will feel like your character isn't
| : reacting to your input at all (randomly slowing down,

| How To Play : Use the joystick to move back and forth (twice to move

| : while swinging the WiiMote to parry your opponent's

|
| Tips : Finally, an event with some strategy. There's a lot of
| : effective tactics to employ in this event.
| :
| : For one, back away from your opponent, then double-move
| : towards them and immediately jab; usually you'll get an
| : attack in, especially against the easier opponents. This
| : is especially effective when you back the opponent up
| : against their side.
| :
| : Another effective strategy is to hold A and carefully
| : watch for when your opponent begins their attack;
| : there's enough time to react and parry, forming an
| : opening to attack them; you can also just back up when
| : they strike, then quickly counterstrike, though this
| : doesn't have any benefits over parrying. This strategy
| : is especially effective when you're backed against your
| : own side.
| :
| : Less complicated strategies include jabbing madly
| : against them, or parrying madly until you succeed and
| : then counterattacking.
| :
| : Note also that the opponent's eyes will flash just
| : before they thrust; if you notice it, it will give you a
| : split second advantage.
| :
| : One reader suggests intentionally NOT using the nunchuk
| : and moving back and forth with the D-pad. I, personally,
| : find this more difficult, but if you're having trouble
| : it's worth a try.

| Description : Win a game of table tennis (first to 11) against your

|
| How To Play : To serve, pull the controller up to toss the ball, then
| : swing a forehand to serve. When the ball comes back to
| : you, swing either a forehand or a backhand (depending
| : on the ball's and your player's locations) to return it.
| : Special shots include holding A to make it easier to
| : return a fast shot (although the return is softer), or
| : holding B to slam the ball (although careful timing is
| : required to successfully slam).
|
| Tips : Oftentimes this event will end up feeling like you just
| : have to return enough volleys until the opponent messes
| : up. Overall, this event is pretty annoying - the mapping
| : of the ping pong swings, especially the backhand, is
| : poor. The forehand is okay, but when you swing a
| : backhand, make sure to swing very, very deliberately -
| : no quick twitches like in Wii Tennis.
| :
| : The A special shot is intended to make it easier to
| : return your opponent's slams, so use it accordingly if
| : you're having trouble. The B special shot (slam) is very
| : difficult to time properly unless the ball is coming
| : slowly. To slam, swing a good half-second before the
| : ball reaches your paddle.
| :
| : My overall strategy is to hold the controller straight
| : in front of me (for each access to forehand or backhand)
| : while holding the A button while awaiting the opponent's
| : return - then, if they slam it, you're ready for it. If
| : it's not a slam, you can choose to return regularly or
| : attempt a slam in return.

|
| How To Play : For the most part, this game is just like the original

| :
| : The only thing that really changes strategy is the

| Description : Just like the original table tennis, but with

|
| How To Play : Play proceeds just like the regular table tennis, but
| : for scoring, instead of the winner of each volley
| : getting a point, the winner of each volley gets a number
| : of points equal to how many volleys there were in the
| : sequence - so if you and your opponent hit it back and

| : points. Throughout the game, you'll charge up
| : superpowered attacked which can be triggered by
| : pressing A+B when the ball is near you. Different
| : special attacks have different effects - some make the
| : ball invisible for the return, some make it go super
| : fast, some make it take bizarre spins, etc.
|
| Tips : The strategy for this game is pretty much like regular
| : table tennis - the different scoring doesn't change the
| : fact that your goal is to win as many volleys as
| : possible.
| :
| : Some people say it's good to use your special attacks
| : when a volley gets long to get as many points as
| : possible, but I recommend saving your specials for
| : returning the computer's specials; they tend to be much
| : more adept at returning special shots than we are, but
| : using a special shot after they've used one guarantees a

| Free Circuit |
| ___________________________________________________________________________|
| /
|/Free circuit is basically a free play of sorts in which you can choose (or
| have randomly selected) events for you to compete in against either the
| computers or friends.
|
| Only events that have been unlocked otherwise can be participated in. The '4'
| and '8' refer to events that involve 4 or 8 participants. Typically,
| 8-participant events are events when all participants compete simultaneously
| but not directly against one another (such as races, where one participant's
| actions do not affect the other participants), or events where participants
| take turns competing. 4-participant events are typically events where
| participants compete directly against each other, such as tennis and fencing.

|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Are there any unlockable characters?
|
| As of the time of this publication, there are NO known unlockable characters.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Do you recommend buying this game?
|
| I recommend renting the game first. The game is small enough that you can
| unlock everything fairly quickly, so you may end up playing it for 5 days and
| never touching it again if you buy it. Rent it first, and if you like it
| enough to buy it, you'll still have your saved data on your console.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Are there any other ways to unlock given circuits or events?
|
| Yes, absolutely. I, personally, unlocked the Moonlight Circuit before ever
| even playing the Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury or Venus circuits. The methods
| posted in this FAQ are guaranteed to work, but they are not guaranteed to be
| the only nor easiest way.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| Who's the best character to play as?
|
| There isn't one. All the characters' stats add up to about the same, so no
| character is overall better than any other. Some characters are better suited
| to some events; I'll detail which in later versions of this FAQ.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| How do I execute 'Shouts' for Peach's Hammer Throw mission?
|
| Press A after throwing the hammer.
|
|\________________ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
| What is the Emblem after the Blaze Emblem?
|
| The Thanks for Playing Emblem, obtained for playing the game 50 times. Thanks
| to DA_J for this.
