Each of these games adds a nice variety to the typical selection of sports-based battles. Karate utilizes the punching and kicking from the more “grounded” Olympic minigame and changes the stage to a free-for-all where knocking someone down covers the ground they land on with your tiles have the most tiles at the end to win. Racing involves a Sonic-styled track with rails to grind and power boosts to pick up. Shooting involves running around a small map and firing at targets (and later a giant kite when it appears.) You can shoot at your rivals of course, but you don’t get any points for that, you just stun them. There’s Shooting, Racing, and Karate, and each feels right at home in a Sonic or Mario game. Perhaps one of the game’s most unique features is the addition of 3 “Dream” events, a sort of video-game spin on Olympic events. And any lack of multiplayer segues or story between games - the game just kicks you back to the menu to select the next game, no rolling dice blocks and moving around a board - makes play sessions feel go even shorter.
Swimming is too basic, rock-climbing too complicated - there are only a few mini-games that hit that "goldilock's zone" of being the perfect size of fun, the zone that nearly every game in the hard-not-to-compare Mario Party universe. There are only a few buttons to learn, not endless combinations like in gymnastics, but the back-and-forth gameplay is a bit more high-octane than the other sports. Other events like karate manage to be both fairly straightforward, while still maintaining a bit of difficulty. While free-style skateboarding may sound fun in theory, when the result is simply a toned-down Tony Hawk Pro Skater, the replayability just doesn't cut it. The games are similarly varied in execution. Others are multi-staged, like gymnastics: involving accurate button presses, balancing, and sticking a landing.
Some minigames are simple, involving just one or two buttons. There’s a wide range of events to choose from, like the newly added Skateboarding or Karate to old classics like the 100 Meter.
