Players can also vie for gold medals in classic Olympic Games events like Boxing, Archery, and the 100m sprint, using either the Wii U GamePad in single-player, or with Wii Remote button controls in multiplayer. Alongside the new events comes the new Heroes Showdown mode. Events are picked at random for a real test of all-around skill, and each round a character from the losing team is knocked out until either all members are knocked out, or Team Captains Mario and Sonic are eliminated. Over 30 playable characters from the Mario and Sonic series appear, including some that are exclusive to certain events. Sporting hopefuls can put themselves in the game as their Mii, and take part in tournaments for each event. Coins and rings earned through gameplay can be used to buy additional costumes from the Mario series or Sonic series respectively. Additional special tournaments can be accessed through the use of amiibo figures, which can be used after completing 25 tournaments. A special Mario or Sonic Mii costume will be earned for winning their respective leagues, while scanning in any other amiibo will reward the player with either coins or rings to use at the Item Stand for a chance to win additional costumes. Take part in loads of frantic four-player events, with over 30 characters from the Mario and Sonic series to play as! Play a powered-up version of Rugby Sevens, Football and Beach Volleyball in Duel Events. Go head to head in Heroes Showdown for a test of all-round skill where it’s all on the line to be the last team standing.
