Dream Basketball

From the Super Mario Wiki

Dream Basketball is an event in the DS Version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In this event, players can shoot basketballs into three baskets with wings to score points (2 points per basket). All the baskets move horizontally, but all in a different speed (Uppper basket flies fast, middle basket flies normal, lower basket flies slow). If the ball the player throws comes in more baskets in 1 throw, the player can get combos to get more points. Golden basketballs will sometimes appear. They can be thrown in a basket to get 6 points, and getting more points by making combos. There are also basketballs with item logos marked on it. The player automatically uses the item market on it, if the ball makes it through the hoop. Each item has a different effect, and all are limited for a time:

• Super Mushroom - After use, the hoops of the baskets wil grow in size, so it's easier to score.
• Chaos Emerald - Can cause one of the 2 things to all foes: the first one is that a Boo will block a random basket, so it can't be used; The second one is that some baskets fly slower or faster, so it's harder to score.
• Balloon - All the baskets will fly to the center of their horizontal line, so it's easier to make combos.
• Starman - When the Starman is in use, only Golden basketballs appear, for getting more points.
