High Jump (event)

High Jump is a real-life Olympic event, that can be played in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The goal is to try and jump over the pole and get the highest score; the score rises the higher the pole. Perfect timing and good speed are needed to succeed in this event.

Controls
The first thing the player has to do is run by shaking the Wii-remote and nunchuck up and down until "speed locked" appears. When the player reaches the blue place, they have to swing the Wii-remote up; when the character is in mid-air, the player also has to swing the nunchuck up for an extra boost.

Sonic
Sonic's second mission in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is high jump. To win this mission Sonic must finish the mission by hitting the bar on the exact right try. The point of this mission is to come in not first but second place at the very end of the mission.

Daisy
Daisy's fifth mission in the Wii version is high jump. The bar height for this mission is 2.20m and Daisy has four red musical notes to start off with. To win this mission Daisy must clear the bar using only her jumping power. This means that if the player tilts the Nunchuck at any time during Daisy's jump; Daisy will fail the challenge due to it not being all her jump that powers her over the bar. Daisy must do this twice to win.

Yoshi
Yoshi's second mission in the Wii version is high jump. To win this mission Yoshi must do something very easy. All Yoshi has to do is clear the bar and jump from the blue zone. This is ordinarily what would happen in a regular match so Yoshi must just act as if he is winning a regular match and clear the bar from the blue zone. The only complication is that he has to do this twice.

Tails
Tails' second mission in the Wii version is both high jump and practically the exact same thing as Yoshi's second mission in the Wii version except this mission is a small amount easier. To win all Tails has to do is clear the bar but he has to jump from the blue zone which once again is not very hard. The small difference between this mission and Yoshi's second mission in the Wii version is that in this mission Tails must only jump once; Yoshi has to jump twice.
