Archery (event)

Archery is the only "Archery" event in the game Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. In order to win, the player has to score the most points. This is done by shooting four sets of three arrows into a target at 70 meters, aiming for the center circle for maximum score. Skill players are the best at this event.

Controls
Archery uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuk together, and is not compatible with the Wii Remote only. This event stays true to the way it is played in real life. When the event starts, the player has to hold the A Button and the B Button together, and pull the Wii Remote back. This will prepare the arrow, as the player begins aiming with the Nunchuk. The Nunchuk forms a cursor on screen, and the player has to move this cursor to a spot on the target. To aim, the player has to tilt the Nunchuck in any direction, rather than actually shaking it around. Once the player has the perfect aim, align the Wii Remote crossheir with it, and then let go of the A and B buttons. This will release the arrow, firing it at the target. However, the player also has to focus on the wind whilst firing. The wind will blow in any of the eight directions, and its force can blow from 0-9 meters. If the player constantly aims at the middle of the target while the wind is blowing, it will blow away from the center. If the arrow misses the target, no points will be earned.
