A Start Dash is a term from Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. It is when the racers in a track event crouch down into their starting position and build up their potential energy to gain a quick boost in their start. In the Wii version, players hold down the "B" button to build up the energy of their character. Once GO appears on the screen, releasing the button and swinging the wii-mote downward will make the racer rocket out of the blocks. When playing the DS version, holding the stylus down on the touch screen will charge up the energy and releasing will activate the speed boost.
