Rocket Ski Jumping

Rocket Ski Jumping is a Dream event in the DS Version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. It is very similar to Dream Long Jump in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The event takes place on a new place called Cape Aurora. The player must try to land on the farthest snow island possible. The stylus is used for this event. An Energy bar is shown near the top right to show how much farther the character can go before losing altitude. To move the character, the player must touch wherever they want the character to go; increasing the altitude and going right or left all use energy. Stroking up with the stylus gives the player a boost, but this uses up even more energy and should be done before passing through a ring to minimize the amount lost. Items appear in this event, and Egg pawns fly around as well. If a character gets too close to them, the Egg pawn will fly towards the character and explode if they run into it. When all energy is depleted, the rockets on the skis will fall off and the character will start to descend. To land, the player must stroke down, and avoid falling into the water. Slide left to right to stop after landing.
