Bobsleigh
- This article is about the event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. For the Yoshi transformation in Yoshi's New Island, see Bobsled Yoshi.
Template:Event-infobox Bobsleigh is a regular event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. It is very similar, and nearly the same thing, as the Skeleton event. Bobsleigh uses 4 players on a team, though 1 player can control the entire Bobsleigh with 1 Wii Remote.
Gameplay and controls
At the start of Bobsleigh, the Wii Remote is shaken up and down at a fast pace. Then, as soon as "A" appears on-screen, is pressed. For the rest of the race, the game is played with the Wii remote being tilted left-to-right, which steer's the bobsleigh in that direction (players must tilt the Wii remote in rhythm in multi-player). Another critical thing in the game is to keep the bobsleigh in the golden path; this will increase the speed continuously, which will end the course faster.
The DS version is slightly different. There are four teams of two rather than 4 players on 1 team. To start, the player must press the + Control Pad down and super fast. Then they should press the following button input on the screen. To control the sled, the player needs to press + Control Pad right and to go right and + Control Pad left and to turn left. Teamworks turns gives he or she a boost. But they should be careful not to collide into the walls at high speed or else they will crash and slow down.
Trivia
- In the Wii version’s opening, Bowser Jr. and Bowser are seen doing 2-Man Bobsleigh despite the fact the game itself uses 4-Man Bobsleigh.
