Events List - Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Events List - Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, referred to as Get ready for the road to Rio by its description, was a gallery in Play Nintendo's Pics section. This gallery showcased the events in the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and contained 15 images.

Take on your friends and family in these fun events! ''Metal Sonic is getting ready to dash in 100m. The “m” stands for “metres,” so this race only covers 328 feet!'' Marine is shooting for the stars (but aiming for the target) in Archery. ''Ain’t sand grand? Bump, set, and spike your way to victory in Beach Volleyball.'' Keep your paws on the handlebars in BMX (Bicycle motocross), where riders compete on a track filled with jumps and obstacles. ''Knock ‘em out! Knuckles and Donkey Kong are going for the K.O. in Boxing.'' ''Hold your horses! Bowser Jr. and his trusty steed are catching some serious air as they jump over fences and gates in Equestrian.'' Bowser’s having a swinging time in Golf, an event that’s new to the series and only on the Nintendo 3DS version of the game! Rosalina has hoop dreams in Rhythmic Gymnastics, another event that’s new in the series and also only on the Nintendo 3DS version of the game. ''Talk about overcoming obstacles! The goal in 110m Hurdles (exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS version of the game) is to run and jump and NOT knock anything over.'' ''Rah-rah-sis-boom-bah! You might know this sport by its American name (soccer), but pretty much the rest of the world calls it “Football.”'' Princess Peach is making waves in 100m Freestyle, where competitors rely on Speed and Stamina to swim two lengths of the pool. Mario is keeping his eye on the ball in Table Tennis—and that’s not easy, since the ball is awfully small (and moving very fast!). Espio’s got a jump-start in the Long Jump, where the goal is to, you know, jump as far as possible. ''Whose bright idea was it to give Wario a pointy spear? Don’t worry—he’s using that javelin to try and win the Javelin Throw!''
