Dream Race

Dream Race is an Olympic event in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and the first Dream event to be unlocked. Like the other Dream events, it is fictional and is not in the real Olympic Games. It is not based off of any particular event, but does borrow elements from the Athletics events. It takes place on a track known as the Sandhill Track Course.

Items

 * High Speed: Automatically speeds the player up for five seconds. It is similar to the Mushroom in the Mario Kart series.
 * Starman: Renders the player invincible against all items and hazards, excluding Boo.
 * Explosion: Blows up opponents if ran into, slowing them down.
 * Boo: Hinders the player in first place for a moment.
 * Green Shell: Hits opponents, or breaks down hurdles.
 * Red Shell: Homes in on a random opponent.
 * Lightning: Shocks all players ahead of the user, slowing them down.
 * Chaos Emerald: Uses the effects of the lightning on all opponents and gives the user invincibility.

Obstructions
There are three obstacles that slow players down on the course.


 * S and Trap: If run into, the player slows down automatically.
 * Badnik: Starting on lap 3, they appear to walk around on the course. When run into, they blow up and slow the player down.
 * Hurdle: Works as the Hurdles do in Field events.
