Controls
************************************************************************
Okay, some controls in the game. There are lots of different movement involved, so Ill try
to explain it the best I can!
Move the Wii Remote:
-Move the cursor. Used in the Main Menu, when an event is paused, Archery & Shooting
Skeet Event.
-Move the Wii Remote in various directions in certain events. You can move it;
-Left and Right in Table Tennis and Dream Table Tennis to hit the ball with your
racket.
-Forward in Fencing and Dream Fencing to stab with your epe.
-Upwards in Long and High Jump to make the character jump.
-Quickly shake the Wii Remote in Trampoline and Dream Platform in certain
sequences.
-Spin the Wii Remote in a vertical clockwise direction in Hammer
Throw to gain power.
-Shake the Wii Remote downwards in Pole Vault to plant the pole. Hold A & B while
doing so in Javelin Throw to throw the javelin.
-Backwards while holding A & B in Archery to start aiming the arrow.
Move the Wii Remote & Nunchuck:
-This is perhaps the most used action. You can move them;
-Up & down to simulate running. Used in all Track events, Javelin Throw, Long,
Triple, and High Jump, Pole Vault, Dream Race, Vault, and with characters with Dog
Paddle in Aquatics events. Can also be used in Long and Triple Jump after the jump
to increase distance slightly, and in Vault again if you land spinning to regain
balance. Used in Pole Vault to gain recoil.
-Up one at a time(Remote first, Nunchuck second) in High Jump and Pole Vault. Raise
Remote again in Triple Jump to simulate the third jump.
-Left & Right to draw applause in certain events, and for characters with
Breaststroke Swimming Style in Aquatics events.
-Forward & Backward for characters with Crawl Swimming Style in
Aquatics events.
-Both upwards repeatedly for characters with Butterfly Swimming Style in Aquatics
events.
-Left & Right simultaneously for characters with Crocodile Paddle Swimming Style
in Aquatics events.
-Backwards simultaneously in Rowing to make the character row,
assuming you already pressed the sequence.
Move the Nunchuck alone:
-This is another movement action. It sees significantly less use than moving the Wii
Remote. It can;
-Aim the arrow in Archery.
-Move your character slightly upwards in High Jump and Pole Vault to get your
character's body over the bar.
A: Accept an option in the Main Menu, pause screen, and 'before event'
screen, hold A and move the Wii Remote downwards in Table Tennis/Dream Table Tennis to
create a 'chop' shot. Hold A and move the Wii Remote in any direction in Fencing to parry.
Hold A in Hammer Throw to start the throw, and press it after the throw to perform a
shout. Used in Rowing, Trampoline, and Dream Platform sequences. Press A & B
simultaneously in Dream Fencing and Dream Table Tennis to do a special attack.
B: Used in menus to return to the previous screen. Press B in Fencing to
do a 'feint', a fake stab, or in Hammer Throw to release the hammer. Hold B while moving
the Wii Remote to do a 'slam' shot in Table Tennis/Dream Table Tennis.
Z: Used in Rowing: Single Sculls
as a sequence.
C: Nothing.
+: Pause events.
-: Nothing

Mii

The Mii is a weird character. They wear the same type of outfit that Peach and Daisy wear.
You can select from 6 'demo' Miis in the game, the ones you made in your console, or any
you stored in the Wii Remote. The
Mii's stats are not displayed, but as they share the same event 'discipline' as Mario(i.e.
They move the same way Mario does), I would say it's a safe guess that they play similar
to the plumber. Miis also do not have any missions. This is only here for completeness.

[MS6]
Events
************************************************************************
Okay, events. Here are all the events, the ones you can automatically play, and the
Unlockables, and how to unlock them. Ill also say a little help tip for winning the event.
[MS6.1]
*Off the Bat Playable*
Athletics (Track)
100m:
Kick off from the starting block and sprint along the 100 meter stretch to the finish line
in as short a time as possible to win. The key to winning is to perform a perfect starting
boost. I find a good character to win this with is shadow. But thats just me.
110m Hurdles:
Kick off from the starting blocks and sprint toward the finish line as fast as you can,
leaping across the hurdles positioned along your path. You wont be penalized for knocking
down the hurdles, but it will cost you valuable seconds each time. Try to jump over the
hurdles at just the right moment for a small boost.
Athletics (Field)
Long Jump:
Sprint down the runway and jump just before the foul line as far as you can into the
sand-filled pit. If your leap begins with any part of your foot in front of the take-off
mark, it will be a foul, and the distance will not be recorded. The best of three attempts
will be your final score.
Triple Jump:
Sprint down the runway toward the designated take off mark. Take a hop, step and jump into
the sand-filled pit. Start your first leap before the take-off maker to avoid a foul. The
best of three attempts will be your final score.
Hammer Throw:
Take the hammer in hand, spin on the spot to build up momentum, and release the hammer in
the direction of the landing area before the countdown runs out. The further away it
lands, the better you score. The best of three attempts will be your final score.
Javelin Throw:
Sprint down the runway to build up momentum and throw the javelin as far as you can into
the landing area. Time your throw carefully to avoid crossing the foul line, or the
attempt will not be recorded. The best of three attempts will be your final score.
Aquatics
100m Freestyle:
Dive in on the start signal and swim two lengths of the pool in the fastest time to win.
Dont forget to breathe, or it will cost you valuable seconds in recovery time.
4 X 100m Freestyle:
Four team members take turns swimming two lengths each. Each player should touch the wall
before the next player dives in. the first team to have all four players complete two
lengths wins.
Gymnastics
Trampoline: use the trampoline to propel yourself high into the air and perform complex
spins and somersaults. Your performance is judged how precisely you execute. As you land,
be sure to prepare yourself with a good high jump for the next set of moves.
Shooting
Skeet:
Make your way through eight stations firing high and low airborne targets as theyre
released. You only have enough ammunition for one short per target, so aim carefully. The
player with the most total hits wins.
Fencing
Individual Epe:
Brandishing your epe, aim to touch your opponent anywhere on their body with the tip of
the blade to score a point. Use your defence skills to prevent your opponent from doing
the same. The first player to hit their opponent 15 times wins the round.
Table Tennis
Singles:
Use your paddle to bounce the ball across the net into your opponents side, and score a
point if they fail to return it, allow it to bounce twice, or if their shot doesnt hit the
table. The first to 11 points wins the round.

[MS9]
Missions
************************************************************************
Okay, on to missions. I have a difficulty rating, (*= Super Easy. **= Easy. ***=Not Real
Hard. ****= Hard. *****= Stupid Hard.) and a little tip on completing the mission.
[MS9.1]
*Knuckles Missions*
Knuckles Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Javelin Throw
Throw the specified distance!
Difficulty: ***
Tries: 3
Distance: Between 40m and 50m
In this mission, you have to get the javelin to the specified distance within 3 tries. A
bad throw is near-mandatory to get the distance you need. You can experiment a little to
see what the most optimal time to flick the Remote down will be. Also, try to get the
lowest speed possible. These aspects are the key to intentionally getting low.
Knuckles Mission 2: Fencing: Individual Epe
Win after parrying!
Difficulty: **
Times to Parry: 5
In this mission, you have to parry your opponent 5 times during the match. A parry
consists of holding A and moving the Remote. The timing can be a little hard, so look at
your opponent. If their eyes flash, and they grunt, parry. This will stun the opponent.
You may also want to distance yourself slightly so that the opponent won't score points.
Knuckles Mission 3: Shooting: Skeet
Shoot the fast targets!
Difficulty: ***
Targets to shoot: 2
You must shoot 2 fast targets out of the number that appear. This one will take some
practice with skeet. Try to get a Good if possible, to increase your crosshairs. An OK can
work, but a Good is easier. You may also want to try this mission a few times to see the
timing of the targets.
Knuckles Mission 4: Athletics: Track: 400m
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Vector
400m can aggravate you, if you don't know what you're doing. In general, high Stamina
characters do well in this event. Usually, what works for me is lightly 'drumming' the
Remote and Nunchuck so that your character uses a very small amount of stamina. Stamina
only reduces if the character's blue energy in the corner gets into the red area. At the
final stretch, keep drumming slightly, and when Vector gets tired, hold A and sprint ahead
of him.
Knuckles Mission 5: Table Tennis: Singles
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Blaze
The only strategy here is to practice at Table Tennis. Blaze has the same AI as a normal
Table Tennis player. Abuse that.
Knuckles Mission 6: Dream Events: Dream Fencing
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Dr. Eggman
Dr. E is disadvantaged here. His fencing seems to be slightly slower than most others, so
use that to your advantage, and don't let your hit points drop.
[MS9.2]
*Bowsers Mission*
Bowser Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Pole Vault
Recoil to clear the bar!
Difficulty: *
Times to do so: 2
In this mission, control is automatic until Bowser actually reaches the vault. He will
always plant a bad pole, so you have to get as much recoil as possible. There's no
strategy in this mission. Just shake the Remote and Nunchuck as fast as possible and
you'll be fine.
Bowser Mission 2: Athletics: Field: Javelin Throw
Throw the specified distance!
Difficulty: ***
Tries: 3
Distance: 50-55
Strategy is the same as Knuckles' Mission 1, except with a bit more luck involved, as the
distance it has to be thrown is smaller.
Bowser Mission 3: Athletics: Track: 400m Hurdles
Don't knock down any hurdles!
Difficulty: ****
Time to aim for: 45-53 sec.
This one is a bit intimidating, as you have to aim for a specific time, and not hit any
hurdles. With Bowser, it can be a bit difficult, as he can block a good portion of the
track with his size. But if it makes it any easier, 45-53 seconds is about a 4th or 3rd
place time, and place doesn't matter.
Bowser Mission 4: Athletics: Field: Hammer Throw
Throw the specified distance!
Difficulty: ***
Tries: 3
Distance: 50-55m
Same type of mission as Mission 2's Javelin Throw, except different. What you should do
here is not to build up power, and time it so that it will be thrown in the center
regardless. Too much to the left or right will result in you just falling short, or
possibly a foul.
Bowser Mission 5: Table Tennis: Singles
Smash the ball to win!
Difficulty: ***
Times to Smash: 7
Same as Knuckles' Mission 5, except hold B and time the opponent shots. I wouldn't hold B
if the opponent smashes back, though.
Bowser Mission 6: Dream Events: Dream Fencing
Knock your opponent out of bounds!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 2
This mission is easy, if you're good at parrying. The opponent tends to be fairly
aggressive in this mission, which is bad if you're trying to get him or her over to the
other side. Parry when the opponent strikes, and then push him or her forward by tapping
forward twice. When you get enough power, and your opponent is right at their end, use
your special, or even better, parry and then use your special, because your opponent will
be stunned and unable to react when parried.
[MS9.3]
*Vectors Missions*
Vector Mission 1: Aquatics: 100m Freestyle
Get the specified time!
Difficulty: ***
Time: Between 48 and 51 sec.
If you're good at swimming events, you're probably going to hate this mission. You have to
move at a bit more of a restful pace and sometimes even miss-time stamina boosts
purposely.
Vector Mission 2: Rowing: Single Sculls
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Bowser
Even if Bowser doesn't, it's easier to get first in the race to guarantee victory.
Acceleration is determined by the remaining blue energy when you push backwards. Press the
buttons and push back quickly for the maximum acceleration. (3 music notes.)
Vector Mission 3: Aquatics: 4x100m Freestyle
Get the specified place!
Difficulty: ***
Place: 2nd
Same strategy as Vector Mission 1. This can be a little hard if the computer opponents are
close fighting for first. If they aren't, move just behind the computer in first place,
but with caution, as you might overtake it and fail the mission.
Vector Mission 4: Dream Events: Dream Table Tennis
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Yoshi
Yoshi has the same AI as a normal Dream Table Tennis player. Try not to let him get a
rally, and use your specials when he uses his.
Vector Mission 5: Shooting: Skeet
Shoot the fast targets!
Difficulty: ***
Targets to shoot: 3
Same as Knuckles' shooting mission, except you have to shoot 3 targets
instead of 2. Same strategy applies.
Vector Mission 6: Dream Events: Dream Race
Get the specified place!
Difficulty:
Place: 2nd
There's truly no strategy for Dream Race. It's entirely based on randomness. But stay
close to the first place racer, or the racers in general, and use any item you can.
[MS9.4]
*Warios Missions*
Wario Mission 1: Table Tennis: Singles
Continue a rally!
Difficulty: ****
Rally: 12 passes without a miss
This is harder than it sounds. Practice at table tennis, and return all the shots. This is
easy. The hard part is getting the computer to co-operate. Try to keep the shots easy to
return, like a chop once or twice. Be careful when using the chop, though. Sometimes you
can overshoot and lose the mission.
Wario Mission 2: Athletics: Field: Long Jump
Jump perfectly from the foul line!
Difficulty: *
Tries: 2
There are some hidden things in this mission. In order to jump perfectly, you not only
have to jump near the foul line, but run at maximum speed, and get at least a 'Good' on
your jump form. If it helps, raising the Wii Remote at about a 90 degree angle a bit
before the foul line can at least get a good.
Wario Mission 3: Dream Events: Dream Table Tennis
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Mario
Just a simple game of Dream Table Tennis. Use your specials to counter
Mario's, and make sure your backhand gets registered in the game. If it's too soft, you'll
whiff the ball.
Wario Mission 4: Athletics: Field: Javelin Throw
Throw as close to the foul line as possible!
Difficulty: *
Tries: 2
This one isn't all that daunting. Just throw any way you want, but make sure you end up
close to the foul line. If it helps, if you're at full speed, the time to hold A & B
and flick the Wii Remote down is at about 3/4 or so of the running area.
Wario Mission 5: Fencing: Individual Epe
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Mario
Fencing This one's easy without specific goals. Generally, what I do is rush backwards
until Mario does a thrust, then rush forwards and stab him. Rinse and repeat 14 more
times.
Wario Mission 6: Athletics: Track: 110m Hurdles
Win and jump through the hurdles perfectly!
Difficulty: ****
This is one of the more annoying missions. You have to win the race, which is easy, but
you have to jump every hurdle so that Wario gets a speed boost each time... which is hard.
But for jumping perfectly, it's about a 1 second wait for each hurdle, if you're going
maximum speed. If you can't follow that, try jumping as late as you can, when Wario nearly
touches the hurdle, but not late enough to make the hurdle fall down.
[MS9.5]
*Marios Missions*
Mario's Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Long Jump
Jump perfectly from the foul line!
Difficulty: *
Times to do it: 1
This one is easy. Just flick the Wii Remote upwards before the foul line, and make sure
your speed is maximum.
Mario's Mission 2: Aquatics: 100m Freestyle
Finish in the specified placing!
Difficulty: *
Place: 1st
The Crawl consists of moving the Wii Remote & Nunchuck (Or just the Wii
Remote, if you're Chuck-less) forwards and backwards repeatedly. But even then, the key is
the timing of your stamina. Press B when your stamina heart gives off the bubble with the
B button for the most optimal boost.
Mario's Mission 3: Shooting: Skeet
Shoot targets with the small crosshairs!
Difficulty: **
Targets to shoot: 1
Take advantage of the fact that you only need to shoot 1 target. When the target gets into
the crosshair area, quickly press B to shoot it. If you succeed, feel free to waste your
shots. Fantastico!
Mario's Mission 4: Gymnastics: Trampoline
Perform difficult moves consecutively!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 5
Tricks in trampoline consist of 3 things. A button, B button, and shaking the Wii Remote.
The criteria for performing a successful move is to pass the sequence to perform the trick
before the character lands on the trampoline again. Do so 5 times in this case.
Mario's Mission 5: Dream Events: Dream Fencing
Win with a Special Move!
Difficulty: **
Play Dream Fencing like you normally do. Then, when the opponent's energy is low, use your
Special Move, assuming you have enough energy for it. If you don't, build up power by
parrying and feinting repeatedly.
Mario's Mission 6: Athletics: Track: 100m
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Sonic
Lots of people tend to have trouble with this mission. For me I didnt find it that hard.
Remember that the secret to running is based on the frequency of the shaking, not the
strength behind it. A perfect boost helps matters a lot, too.
[MS9.6]
*Amys Missions*
Amy's Mission 1: Aquatics: 100m Freestyle
Start at exactly the right time to win!
Difficulty: *
No problem here, aside from learning the breaststroke. Just moving the Wii Remote and
letting go of B when GO! appears should be enough for a good start.
Amy's Mission 2: Dream Events: Dream Platform
Get through the rings!
Difficulty: **
Specifics: 5 rings, you must hit the water first
Simple. Move Amy quickly to gain speed to hit the water, and slow down to hit rings if
needed.
Amy's Mission 3: Athletics: Track: 100m
Win with a starting dash!
Difficulty: **
Also simple. Just gain energy by holding B, and move the Wii Remote down and release B at
'GO!' to get a good start.
Amy's Mission 4: Dream Events: Dream Table Tennis
Finish with a Special Move!
Difficulty: **
With this mission, you simply have to win the match by having Amy use one of her Special
Shots in Dream Table Tennis.
Amy's Mission 5: Fencing Individual Epe
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Peach
Any fencing strategy applies.
Amy's Mission 6: Athletics: Track: 110m Hurdles
Win with all perfect jumps!
Difficulty: ****
Exactly the same as Wario's mission. I suppose the difficulty in this mission makes up for
how simple the other ones were.
[MS9.7]
*Luigis Missions*
Luigi's Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Triple Jump
Jump perfectly from the foul line!
Difficulty: ***
You know the drill. Maximum speed, near the foul line, at least 'Good!' jumps. The reason
this is a 3-star is because you have to do good on ALL the jumps. Which is harder than it
sounds.
Luigi's Mission 2: Aquatics: 4x100m Freestyle
Aim for the specified time!
Difficulty: ***
Time: 3 minutes, 21 seconds to 3 minutes, 25 seconds
This mission seems simple, but like the previous swimming missions, you have to slow down
for the timer. If it helps, the time given is a rough 4th place behind the other swimmers.
Luigi's Mission 3: Dream Events: Dream Platform
Destroy the blocks!
Difficulty: *****
Specifics: Destroy 6 blocks, hit the water first
Luigi's hardest mission by far. You have to hit 6 blocks by running into
them, and hit the water first. This is much harder than it sounds, because each time you
hit a block, you lose speed. While it can be hard to get to the water first and hit 6
blocks, here are 2 ways you can do so without losing speed.
1. Use a Shield item. With this, you can potentially break 2 blocks at a time.
2. Perfectly move Luigi in an area with a ring next to a block. If you aim Luigi right,
you can hit the block and the ring at the same time, and not lose speed.
Luigi's Mission 4: Athletics: Track: 400m
Stagger to the finish line!
Difficulty: ****
This one can be annoying. You have to get low enough stamina to make Luigi slow down right
near the finish, and he staggers for very little time. Luck, and practice are the keys. If
it helps, try keeping Luigi's stamina around half-full, or slightly less, then use it all
up by the final stretch.
Luigi's Mission 5: Dream Events: Dream Table Tennis
Win and score ten points in one rally!
Difficulty: ***
Similar to Wario's Table Tennis mission, except with fewer points to gain. Remember, the
biggest problem comes from having the computer co-operate to continue the rally.
Luigi's Mission 6: Dream Events: Dream Fencing
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Waluigi
Even if Waluigi's ability may be different, the strategy for him is exactly the same as
most fencers. The 'Rushing and Retreating' strategy works.
[MS9.8]
*Blazes Missions*
Blaze's Mission 1: Aquatics: 4x100m Freestyle
Finish in the specified placing!
Difficulty: *
Place: 1st
These missions are hard... unless you have to place first! Just do your team swimming
styles as fast as possible, and time your stamina boosts as good as you can.
Blaze's Mission 2: Athletics: Field: Triple Jump
Jump perfectly from the foul line!
Difficulty: ***
Yes, we know. Full speed ahead, good jumps, before foul line.
Blaze's Mission 3: Athletics: Track: 400m
Pass your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Specifics: You get a 2 second handicap to wait before you start.
Rival: Amy
Most people find this mission hard, but I didnt find it real intimidating. You have to
wait two seconds, getting a boost is almost mandatory though, and race up to Amy, pass
her, and win. It may sound a little difficult, but its a lot easier when it gets done.
Blaze's Mission 4: Gymnastics: Vault
Recover from a stagger on landing!
Difficulty: *
Times to do so: 2
No strategy needed. This is almost exactly the same as Bowser's Mission 1, where control
is automatic until the moment of truth. And the same technique applies, what with the
shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck as fast as possible.
Blaze's Mission 5: Athletics: Track: 110m Hurdles
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Peach
Fairly simple, assuming you're good at hurdles. Like in most non-final
missions, Peach has the same AI as in a normal Single Match of this, so she isnt a threat,
if you keep a good speed.
Blaze's Mission 6: Dream Events: Dream Race
Win without colliding with other racers!
Difficulty:
This is a real annoying mission of Blaze's. Like most Dream Race missions, this one is
based entirely on luck. Just be careful, and try to get ahead as much as possible, so that
you won't have to worry about other racers.
[MS9.9]
*Sonics Missions*
Sonic's Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Long Jump
Jump perfectly from the foul line!
Difficulty: *
Times to do so: 1
Easy, easy. Maximum speed. Good jump. Before foul line.
Sonic's Mission 2: Athletics: Field: High Jump
Clear with jumps only!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 1
Specifics: Sonic has full power. (4 Music notes) Bar is 2.20m high.
Also easy. Gain high speed by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Flick up the Wii remote
by the end of the blue area.
Sonic's Mission 3: Dream Events: Dream Race
Finish in the specified placing!
Difficulty:
Placing: 2nd
Dream Races are very random. You could be literally seconds away from winning and a
barrage of several items from enemies, like a Boo, thunderbolt, and another Boo will
strike, and everyone will pass ahead. This event is all about luck.
Sonic's Mission 4: Dream Events: Dream Platform
Reach the specified speed!
Difficulty: ***
Speed: 170 mph
Specifics: You must hit the water first. However, you do not need to maintain the speed of
170 mph and hit the water. You can simply reach it once and it will count.
Hit as many rings as you can. This will increase your speed. You should hit 170 mph by
about 2-3 rings hit. After that, feel free to lower your pace, but you still have to hit
the water first. If a koopa shell threatens that, move in a large circle to avoid it. By
the way, have you noticed that Sonic always wears a life jacket in sports that involve
water Can he not swim or something
Sonic's Mission 5: Athletics: Track: 400m Hurdles
Stagger to the finish line!
Difficulty: ****
Specifics: You must also win.
Manage your stamina carefully. Be wary, though, Sonic's stamina isn't too good. You could
run out easily.
Sonic's Mission 6: Athletics: Track: 100m
Win with a super starting dash!
Difficulty: ***
A 'super starting dash' is different from a normal starting dash. Rather than throwing the
Wii Remote down when 'GO!' appears, you have to do so at the same time it appears. I
counted about 3 and a half seconds after the 'Ready' to 'GO!' sequence, so count that out,
and hope for the best.
[MS9.10]
*Daisys Missions*
Daisy's Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Javelin Throw
Throw as close to the foul line as possible!
Difficulty: *
Times to do so: 1
Yeah, if my repetition says anything, you should know this by now. Full
speed, 'Good!' or 'Great!' jump, all before foul line.
Daisy's Mission 2: Shooting: Skeet
Shoot the fast targets!
Difficulty: **
Targets to shoot: 1
This mission is fairly easy, because you will be at station 8. Anticipate a target and
shoot it, because in these missions, all
targets are fast. Take advantage of the fact that you only need to hit one disk.
Daisy's Mission 3: Athletics: Track: 400m Hurdles
Finish without knocking down hurdles!
Difficulty: ***
Specifics: Finish within 45-53 seconds.
This mission can be hard if you don't know the timing for hurdles. But to lower the
pressure, when I tried it, the time was about a 4th place or lower time, so no pressure to
get first.
Daisy's Mission 4: Gymnastics: Vault
Recover from a stagger on landing!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 2
Very simple. Just shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuck as fast as possible and hope for the
best.
Oh, and don't be fooled by Daisy's "NO!" I gave this 2 stars for a reason.
Daisy's Mission 5: Athletics: Field: High Jump
Clear with jumps only
Difficulty: ** and a half
Times to do so: 2
Specifics: Daisy has full power. (4 Music notes) Bar is 2.20m high.
Bring up the Wii Remote when Daisy hits the blue area. Bring it up subtle enough not to
lose much energy.
Daisy's Mission 6: Table Tennis: Singles
Smash the ball to win!
Difficulty: *****
Specifics: Points with other balls don't count. You must smash the ball 5 times to win.
Looks can be deceiving. This mission is a perfect example. You do not need to win with a
smash. Instead, the only points you can gain is with a smash. And you win the game when
you reach 5 points.
[MS9.11]
*Shadows Missions*
Shadow's Mission 1: Aquatics: 100m Freestyle
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: *
Rival: Tails
Simple. Crawl ahead of Tails and press B when the B bubble appears. Easy
enough.
Shadow's Mission 2: Dream Events: Dream Fencing
Win by knocking your opponent out of bounds!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 1
If you aren't aggressive, you won't be able to push your opponent. Even then, the opponent
almost never wants to co-operate. Parry them, and push them by pressing forward twice. Get
enough power for a Special Move, and use it on them when they've backed up as far as they
can go to get them out of bounds. You do not have to win this way. You may simply do so
early in the match and then play normally.
Shadow's Mission 3: Athletics: Track: 110m Hurdles
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Blaze
Easy enough. You don't have to focus on the hurdles, as long as you're
careful not to run into them. Just keep ahead of Blaze.
Shadow's Mission 4: Rowing: Single Sculls
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: **
Rival: Vector
Wow, Shadow must have a lot of rivals. Anyway, the AI for characters in all non-final
missions is the same as in a normal event. Just try not to get too many button
combinations bad, or else Vector will pass you.
Shadow's Mission 5 Athletics: Track: 400m
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Sonic
Shadow must not be too friendly or sportsmanlike to get this many enemies. Anyway, this
mission is similar to Sonic's but slightly harder. Shadow has the lowest stamina of the
game, and thus, even the tiniest of drumming movements drains about half of his energy.
Make sure he regains his energy before drumming along again, and when Sonic gets tired
near the end, sprint ahead of him so that he'll never catch up.
Shadow's Mission 6 Athletics: Track: 100m
Beat your rival!
Difficulty: ***
Rival: Sonic
Again with the rivals. Oh well. Shadows been through a lot. This mission is exactly the
same as Mario's. I actually found this one little easier, because Im used to using shadow
in these events. Though you may find Marios mission easier. You may need a Super Starting
Dash to win this one, unless your awesome at 100m, then a starting dash should be enough.
[MS12]
*Yoshis Missions*
Yoshi's Mission 1: Athletics: Field: Hammer Throw
Throw right in the center!
Difficulty: * and a half.
Times to do so: 1
Specifics: To get a good throw, you must be at full power.
Nothing special. A lot of these aren't all that special to write for. Just do the normal
technique for hammer throw.
Yoshi's Mission 2: Athletics: Field: High Jump
Jump from the blue zone!
Difficulty: **
Times to do so: 2
Simple. Jump flick the Wii Remote upwards when he reaches the blue area, and lift the
Nunchuck as he goes upwards.
Yoshi's Mission 3: Fencing: Individual Epe
Win after parrying!
Difficulty: **
Times to parry: 6
Keep at a distance enough to parry the opponent, and avoid damage if you fail and he or
she strikes. When you successfully parry, attack. These mission descriptions are
misleading. Again, you have no need to win the match directly after a parry. Just parry 6
the enemy 6 times at the start, and then play normally.
Yoshi's Mission 4: Table Tennis: Singles
Continue a rally!
Difficulty: **** and a half
Rally: 15 shots
This is the hardest Table Tennis Mission, mostly because the computer isn't the most
co-operative partner out there. Don't slam, and only do a chop every 6 or so shots or you
might overshoot.
Yoshi's Mission 5: Aquatics: 100m Freestyle
Finish in the specified time!
Difficulty: ****
Time: 48-50 seconds
The block of time here is very small to get. The earliest time can be
attained if you move just ahead of the person in 2nd place(not too much), so try that.
5df.
Yoshi's Mission 6: Athletics: Track
Win with a perfect relay!
Difficulty: ***
A 'perfect relay' consists of getting all 'Great!'s in passing the baton. It can be hard
to figure out the timing at first, but roughly, a baton length between the characters is
the optimum time to move the Wii Remote down.
[MS9.13]
*Peachs Missions*
Peach's Mission 1: Aquatics: 4x100m Freestyle
Finish in the specified time!
Difficulty: ***
Time: 3 minutes, 21 seconds - 3 minutes, 29 seconds
This one was annoying for me to practice. You have to really swim with
attrition, and be careful not to go too fast or too slow. But again, if it helps, getting
the fourth swimmer to the end at about 2:55+, and then
returning at a normal pace should get you within the time.
Peach's Mission 2: Athletics: Hammer Throw
Let out a shout!
Difficulty: *-***** depending on if you know how to do it.
Times to do so: 3
Oh yes, this is the super magical mission which everyone asks about in the message boards.
Then again, the instruction book doesn't mention how to do so. Anyway, in order for Peach
to let out a shout, you must press A after you release the hammer. However! You must be at
full power to throw the hammer good enough to shout.
Peach's Mission 3: Rowing: Single Sculls
Win by rowing with max. acceleration!
Difficulty: **
Specifics: You must row 10 times with maximum acceleration(3 music notes.) during the
race, not winning with one.
This is easiest to do near either the beginning or the end of the race. In the beginning,
just press Z and B and pull the Wii Remote back. If you do it right, you'll get 3 music
notes of acceleration. Near the end, too, when the game just asks you to pull backwards,
doing so quick enough will also yield a maximum set of music notes.
Peach's Mission 4: Athletics: Track: 400m
Stagger to the finish line!
Difficulty: ***
Yeah. Just use your stamina as well as you can until the end, then sprint to get your
energy lowered faster, and move closer to the finish.
Peach's Mission 5: Archery: Archery
Hit that circle!
Difficulty: ****
Specifics: 6 pt. circle, moderate winds. (about 4-6mph.)
Tries to do so: 2
These archery missions suck. I might just be bad at archery, but you really have to study
the patterns of the winds. What's more, in my practice run of this mission, Peach proved
to be an oddly good archer, and shot her arrows as close to the center as possible.
There's no real solution than to practice the placement of the arrows in wind, and aim
accordingly.
Peach's Mission 6: Gymnastics: Trampoline
Perform difficult moves consecutively!
Difficulty: ** and a half
Times to do so: 10
This is what they call a final mission Hah! Then again, I'm pretty good at trampoline, so
it's easy for me. But seriously, this mission is a joke. A huge, elaborate joke, compared
to mission 5. All you have to do is press all the buttons in the sequence before Peach
lands. It doesn't matter if you make errors on the way, either. The game will accept a
'Good'.
[MS9.14]
*Tails Missions*
Tails' Mission 1: Gymnastics: Trampoline
Jump 7m high!
Difficulty: *
