I dedicate this to the NES fans out there, as this one is part of the NES
FAQ completion Project of 2004-2005, courtesy of the FAQ Contributor Board.
We honour the most truly awesome and great system... the Nintendo
Entertainment System! Never mind about Atari, Commodore 64, Colecovision,
Sega Master System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis, or
any of the newer systems, we all know that the good old NES is where true
gaming is at!
Also, for Cougar, Howler, and Koonce. I miss you, and I hope you are living
it up in the afterlife as you did in this world. You will always be in my
memories, and you will never be forgotten.

1) Well now, you consider yourself to be in superbly good shape? You think
that you are all ready to go all out and beat your competition to the
line? Or will you be the one eating dust as you gasp for air?
As for the FAQ, the controls for the four events will be covered from the
Player One perspective, so just transfer the controls to the Red Buttons
beside the Blue Buttons indicated for each portion of an event.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------Computer Opponents------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) This section will take a look at the three computer opponents, outlining
their skills and abilities.
o-------o
| Ollie |
o-------o
Description..: The weakest of the three opponents, Ollie is a perfect choice
as a starting point for a new player or those who are badly
out of shape.
Race Strategy: Ollie will plod along at a somewhat slow pace, suffering
badly in the Belly Bump Ball and the Bubble Run events.
However, if he does manage to build up a substantial lead on
you and your efforts, he will often stop and wait a while
before continuing to run, giving you time to play catch-up!
o-------o
| Jimmy |
o-------o
Description..: The middle of the road as far as speed goes, Jimmy is far
more advanced than his weaker competition Ollie.
Race Strategy: He will speed along at a fairly brisk pace, performing
admirably well at all events, but he does not move through
any event with spectacular speed.
o------o
| Jack |
o------o
Description..: Easily the cream of the crop of these three competitiors,
Jack is the perfect male specimen... even though he looks
identical to the other two somehow.
Race Strategy: You ever see one of those bullet trains that are in Japan,
whether in person or on TV? He goes about that speed through
EVERY possible variation in the game, creaming your efforts
unless you have become a veritable GOD at this game.

3) This section will take a look at Obstacle Course A, offering up Controls,
Track Layout, and Strategies (both legitimate and cheating) for thriving
at every portion.

=======
Log Hop
=======
i) Seven single log jumps laid out with some running room in between each
obstacle.
ii) Two log jumps laid out together (side by side) are next, with running
room between each set.
iii) Two log jumps that are double stacked are the last obstacles, then open
ground remains to traverse.
===========
Water Cross
===========
i) Four pools to swim across are the first set, with ground portions in
between each one.
ii) A single Log Wall is next, so jump over it.
iii) One final pool is followed by a ground portion to the end.
=========
Wall Jump
=========
i) Three short walls with ground in between to start.
ii) Two taller walls are next, each with minimal ground in between.
iii) One bridge structure with unevenly laid boards is the next set, then
open ground to the end.
======
Sprint
======
i) Open ground to the finish line.

==========================================
Log Hop & Water Cross & Wall Jump & Sprint
==========================================
i) In these games, the best way to play is to use your feet, hopping when
necessary. This may sound a bit blasse, but it is the only real way to
play as I shall soon explain.
ii) Cheating at these events are rather difficult to pull off, and to make
it work, it will go slower than the proper way of playing. If hands are
to be used, the Power Pad can sense the pressure on the buttons,
meaning that use will cause the athlete to jump more often and without
the proper landing pressure of feet, the Power Pad will not recognize a
landing, thus wiping out the character on screen.
iii) However, to actually get a bit of cheating in, when jumping a player
can lean on a chair positioned nearby to stay in the air longer, thus
extending their jump to get over walls/ponds without touching down on
them nearly as soon as they would normally. Nearly almost all of a
Pond can be cleared this way, but remember on any attempt to step back
down or face a wipeout.

i) Open ground to the finish line.
o------------o
| Strategies |
o------------o
===============
Belly Bump Ball
===============
i) This event can be done through the conventional running method, but
remember that continual speed is better than short bursts, as losing
momentum will cause the ball to not go as far, leaving less running
room for the next bump.
ii) This is an event that lends itself well to cheating, in that the hand
method can easily outperform conventional running techniques. In
fact, the large speed build ups of this technique can just send the
ball flying.
=========
Crab Walk
=========
i) In this event, you can do nothing more than alternate on the two sets
of pads to get moving, but no matter how good the effort, the movement
speed of your character remains pathetically slow.
==========
Bubble Run
==========
i) To start off, conventional use of footfalls will inflate the Bubble at
a reasonable pace (using the 1-2 pads), but using hands on the pads
will get the job done far quicker. However, that moral dilemma is one
that the player must solve on their own.
ii) The running aspect of the event portion is one best served by
conventional footfalls, as the hand efforts will end badly due to the
pressure on the pads being recognized as cheating by the game (causing
jump wipeouts). Stick to footfalls, it is ultimately faster.
======
Sprint
======
i) Once again, the pressure readings on the Power Pad are interpreted
in a manner meant to disaude the player from the cheating method they
were attempting. So, use your feet, not your hands to get their at the
best time possible.

5) This section will take a look at Skateboard Race, offering up Controls,
Track Layout, and Strategies (both legitimate and cheating) for thriving
at every portion.

==========
Skateboard
==========
Movement: Place feet on the 5-9 pads, tapping the 5 pad to get movement.
Jumping.: Leap into the air off the pad, landing back on the 5-9 pads to
finish the jump. or else your character will do a faceplant,
wasting valuable time regaining his feet.

o--------------o
i) Simply put, the track is open except for various sets of debris
scattered all over the track.

the proper landing pressure of feet, the Power Pad will not recognize a

hop as an object is approached, but if you land back onto the pad too
soon, the object will wipe your character out temporarily.

7) This section will take a look at the various games that can be played in
human teams, including Controls, Track Layouts (when necessary), and
Strategies (both legitimate and cheating) for beating your human
opposition.
o---------------o
| 6-Legged Race |
o---------------o
Workin unison is of the utmost importance here, moving the team forward to
the finish line.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Controls~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
i) Each team must have three players, standing on two buttons of their
colour (for example, the White Team would use the 1-2, 5-6, 9-10 pads,
with each combo set covered by one person).
ii) The team mates must then move their feet up and down in sync, causing
their team to move forward. If they are out of sync, no significant
movement will occur.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Strategies~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i) Moving as a team has to be done together, so try to find people you
work well with.
ii) In addition to the above idea, try to work out a counting/spoken word
system, as it will help streamline efforts of the three players,
allowing them to get combined movement efforts going.
o------------o
| Tug Of War |
o------------o
Beat your opposition by pulling them across the line positioned between the
two sides. Use in sync movements to score the strongest pulls.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Controls~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~
i) Each team must have three players, standing on two buttons of their
colour (for example, the White Team would use the 1-2, 5-6, 9-10 pads,
with each combo set covered by one person).
ii) The team mates must then move their feet up and down rapidly, adding
power to their team's tugs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~Strategies~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i) If a team can step rapidly in a likewise fashion to one another, then
the power of their tug will be greater than if they move at different
speeds. However, this is incredibly tough to pull off effectively.
ii) Though it is by no means endorsed by this FAQ author, a team could push
a member of the other team off of the Power Pad, rendering their
side powerless due to the loss of a team mate. However, this is not
recommended, as the opposing team can get revenge by causing the same
disruption on your side, which descends into a wrestling match on and
around the Power pad, instead of the proposed game. It also risks
damage to the Power Pad, which is not really good considering that
getting a replacement nowadays is pretty darn tough to do.
o-------o
| Relay |
o-------o
The whole point of this game is to hand off the baton to a new team mate
when the new character appears on screen, so follow the rules and perform
as the game does it, changing up to a team mate who replaces you on the
Power Pad.

necessary. This may sound a bit blasse, but it is the only real way to
play as I shall soon explain.
ii) Cheating at these events are rather difficult to pull off, and to make
it work, it will go slower than the proper way of playing. If hands
are to be used, the Power Pad can sense the pressure on the buttons,
meaning that use will cause the athlete to jump more often and without
the proper landing pressure of feet, the Power Pad will not recognize a
landing, thus wiping out the character on screen.

iii) However, to actually get a bit of cheating in, when jumping a player
can lean on a chair positioned nearby to stay in the air longer, thus
extending their jump to get over walls/ponds without touching down on
them nearly as soon as they would normally. Nearly almost all of a
Pond can be cleared this way, but remember on any attempt to step back
down or face a wipeout.
==========
Bubble Run
==========
i) To start off, conventional use of footfalls will inflate the Bubble at
a reasonable pace (using the 1-2 pads), but using hands on the pads
will get the job done far quicker. However, that moral dilemma is one
that the player must solve on their own.
ii) The running aspect of the event portion is one best served by
conventional footfalls, as the hand efforts will end badly due to the
pressure on the pads being recognized as cheating by the game (causing
jump wipeouts). Stick to footfalls, it is ultimately faster.
