Figure Skating

Figure Skating is a winter event found in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. You will also face Rouge in this event, in both Festival Mode and Adventure Tour.

Wii Version
In the Wii version there are six songs to skate to, such as Swan Lake, Ave Maria, Fantaise Impromptu, the Nutcracker, and other classics. In Figure Skating, only the Wii Remote is used. The character that is picked will skate laps around the rink, and the player must shake the Wii Remote according to the arrows. For example, if there is a down arrow, the Wii remote should be shook in a slapping motion.

Nintendo DS Version
The Nintendo DS version of Figure Skating is a bit different from the Wii one. The player holds the stylus and drags the character where they want it to go, and then use the stylus to perform spins and other tricks. There are three songs on the DS version including Carmen, Die Fledermaus, and a song from the Nutcracker.
