Sport Climbing is an Event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition. The player's objective is to climb the wall as fast as possible.
Gameplay[edit]
At the start of the event, the player grabs hold of the first rock on the climbing wall. To move to the next rock, the player has to press the button of the color matching that rock. There are three buttons on the machine, and therefore three colors of rocks. Sometimes, a white rock appears, but it is always farther away from the previous rock than any other color of rock. To move to these rocks, the player must jump, triggering a switch in the arcade machine upon landing. A circular progress bar appears around each rock as the game awaits input, and the player gets better grades for using the correct input as fast as possible. Missing an input will lock the player out of moving for a short time. The event concludes once the player reaches the top of the wall.
Sometimes, the player enters a special dashing mode, during which they can mash all three buttons to climb rocks without the need to match inputs to colors. These input rules and the dashing animation make climbing faster than normal.
