Singles

Template:M&S-TableTennis Template:Event-infobox Singles (A.K.A Table Tennis) is a real-life olympic event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and the only one in the "Table Tennis" category. The first player to reach eleven points (five in the DS version) wins the game. It has a Dream version, called Dream Table Tennis, where Special Attacks can be used.

Controls

Swing the Wiimote to hit the ball, press the B Button to hit the ball hard but have a chance of missing and press the A Button to hit it soft but have a greater chance of getting it. A point is awarded every time the opponent misses the ball or gets it out. To win the game, reach eleven points before the opponent does. The losers of the first game face each other for third and fourth meanwhile the winners face off for first and second.

Missions

Wii Version

Knuckles

Knuckles' fifth mission in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is singles. To win his mission he must gain eleven points before his rival does, therefore defeating his rival. His rival for this mission is the fiery princess Blaze.

Bowser

Like Knuckles, singles is also Bowser's fifth mission in the wii version. The criteria however, are different. Knuckles must simply gain eleven points before his rival does but Bowser must both gain eleven points before his rival but there is an extra condition, he must smash the ball (hold B while swinging) a total of seven times.

Wario

Singles is Wario's first mission in the wii version. This mission is really easy, all Wario has to do is rally (pass back and forth) a shot twelve times. The biggest difficulty here is the opponent missing the ball when it comes to them. A remedy for that is to hold A while hitting to do a slow shot.

=Daisy

Daisy's sixth mission adds a twist to the game of singles, it is her hardest mission and is found in the wii version. The pointing system in this mission is different as here, Daisy must gain only five points but in the real thing, she would have to gain eleven. The hard part of this mission is that points can only be gained by holding B when swinging, in other words, smashing the ball.

Yoshi

The fourth mission in the wii version for Yoshi is singles. To win he must do the same thing as Wario had to do in his fifth mission; continue a rally. The only difference between this mission and Wario's mission is that in this mission, Yoshi must rally three more times for a total of fifteen times.

Description

"Use your paddle to bounce the ball across the net into your opponent’s side, and win a point if they fail to return it or allow it to bounce twice. The first player to reach 11 points wins the round. Each player takes turns serving twice."
