| | '''4x100m Freestyle''' (pronounced '''four by one hundred meter Freestyle''') is a real-life Olympic event that can be played in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. It is under the "Aquatics" category, along with [[100m Freestyle]], and plays somewhat similarly to [[4x100m Relay (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)|4x100m Relay]]. Four teams of four players take turns to get past the 100m pool four times first. This game requires both speed and stamina and features all sixteen playable characters. |

|
| '''4x100m Relay''' is an [[Aquatics]] [[Event]] that appears in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''. The aim of the event is for each swimmer to complete their 100m stretch in the fastest time, with the event taking place in the National Aquatics Center. The starting world record for this event is 3:12.46, while the starting Olympic record is 3:13.17. [[Espio]] appears as a referee in this event.
| | ==Controls== |
| | The controls of the game are very similar to that of the [[100m (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|100m]] event. The [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]] can be used on its own, or with the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]]. Before the event starts, the player is given a certain swimming style (example, [[Vector the Crocodile|Vector]] has the Crocodile paddle). The way to swim is to shake the Remote and Nunchuk in a certain direction (see [[100m Freestyle]] for more details). There are five swimming styles. |
| | *''Crawl'' – Forward and back alternately. |
| | *''Breaststroke'' – Left to right alternately. |
| | *''Butterfly'' – Up and down together. |
| | *''Dog paddle/Underwater running'' – Up and down alternately. |
| | *''Crocodile paddle'' – Left to right together. |

| ==Gameplay==
| | [[File:Startingdive.jpeg|thumb|Characters prepare to dive in.]] |
| In this event, the player starts by choosing a team of four characters in the order that they will swim in the event. At the start of the event, as the word "Ready" is displayed onscreen, the player can press and hold the B button to charge up power, which will give them a greater speed boost and a faster starting speed the longer the button is held for. The charge level speed is indicated on a meter in the top left of the screen throughout the event. When "Go!" appears, the player must swing the Wii Remote down to start the event. Doing so with good timing will give the player an extra speed boost, however doing it too early will cause the character to stumble and perform a later and slower start. Once the character has entered the pool, the player must swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in a specific motion to swim, with each character having a different stroke and motion:
| | When the event starts, the player has to hold the {{button|wii|B}} Button while '''READY''' appears on the screen, to build up energy. When '''GO''' appears, the player has to release the {{button|wii|B}} Button and flick the Wii Remote down, to get a speed boost. The sooner this is done, the better the boost, but doing it before '''GO''' appears will result in a Foul, and will slow down the player, rather than speed them up. Once in the water, the player has to use one of the above swimming styles, which will be shown when the player starts swimming. The faster the controllers are shaken, the faster the player will swim. However, more energy is used up the faster the player swims, and if all of the players energy is burned up, they will stop in one spot, and waste time. To combat this, the player has to press the {{button|wii|B}} Button before the Stamina meter drops to zero. Perfect timing will give the player more speed, but bad timing will slow them down. |
| *Crawl (Swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk forwards and backwards alternately): [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], [[Shadow (character)|Shadow]]
| |
| *Breaststroke (Swinging the Wii Remote towards and away from each other simultaneously): [[Wario]], [[Bowser]], [[Amy]], [[Dr. Eggman]]
| |
| *Butterfly (Swinging the Wii Remote up and down together): [[Waluigi]], [[Knuckles]], [[Blaze]]
| |
| *Dog paddle (Swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up and down alternately): [[Yoshi]], [[Tails]]
| |
| *Underwater running (Swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up and down alternately): [[Sonic]]
| |
| *Crocodile paddle (Swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk left and right simultaneously): [[Vector]]
| |
| The faster the player swings, the faster the character swims, but swimming at higher speeds will deplete the stamina meter, indicated by a heart. If the meter is fully depleted, the character will tread water at a much lower speed until enough of the meter is refilled to continue swimming again. To avoid this, the player can press the B Button when the stamina meter is low to refill their stamina. The closer the meter is to being empty the meter is when the player presses the B button, the more stamina is refilled and less speed lost. This is also shown by the number of musical note icons that appear above the character's head after the refill, with one blue one indicating poor timing, two green ones representing good timing and three red ones representing the best. When the character reaches the end of the pool, the player can swing the Wii Remote down to gain a small speed boost from turning. When the character reaches the end of their 100m, the player can also swing the Wii Remote down to cause the next character to gain a small speed boost when diving in.
