100m Freestyle: Difference between revisions

When the event starts, the player has to hold {{button|wii|B}} while '''READY''' appears on the screen, to build up energy. When '''GO''' appears, the player has to release {{button|wii|B}} and flick the Wii Remote down, to get a speed boost. The sooner this is done, the better the boost, but doing it before '''GO''' appears will result in a Foul, and will slow down the player, rather than speed him/her up. Once in the water, the player has to use one of the above swimming styles, which will be shown when the player starts swimming. The faster the controllers are shaken, the faster the player will swim. However, more energy is used up the faster the player swims, and if all of the players energy is burned up, they will stop in one spot, and waste time. To combat this, the player has to press {{button|wii|B}} before the Stamina meter drops to zero. Perfect timing will give the player more speed, but bad timing will slow him/her down.

The event is the same in the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version of the game. Controls however are different. Instead of shaking the Wii Remote (and/or nunchuk) different ways of rubbing the touch screen make the character swim in their specific style. The beginning speed boost is controlled by pressing down with the [[stylus]] on the screen and releasing it when the event begins.

The Wii Remote can be used on its own, or with the Nunchuk. Before the event starts, the player is given a certain swimming style (example, [[Yoshi]] swims using the Dog Paddle). The way to swim is to steadily move the Remote and Nunchuk back and forth in a certain direction (e.g. The Dog Paddle is done is moving the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk up and down alternately). There are six swimming styles. The character swims to one end, and back. To turn, the Wii Remote needs to be thrust down when the moving ring  is inside the pink ring. By pressing the
