'''Handball''' is a [[Court & Field Sports]] [[Event]] that appears exclusively in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. The event focuses on scoring points by defending the goal, rather than scoring them as typically happens in handball.

==Gameplay==
In this event, the player's character stands in the goal and must block the shots thrown at them by the [[Egg Pawn]]s. There are three different types of ball in this event which are worth different amount of points, white ones which are worth one point, blue ones which are worth two and rainbow colored ones which are worth three. If the player successfully blocks a ball, they are awarded the amount of points that the ball is worth, but are awarded none if an Egg Pawn scores a goal. The balls always start as white, but the other types will randomly appear later in the event. The Egg Pawns will shoot their balls to one of the four corners of the goal, and the player must move the circle pad in the direction of the corner that the ball is headed for to defend it. There are a total of fifteen Egg Pawns that shoot balls.

==Controls==
1) '''Block''': Move the Circle Pad toward one of the four diagonals.

==Medley Match==
In medleys, Handball features a slightly different scoring system, as the number of points the player earns in the events reflects the number they receive in the medley. Only ten Egg Pawns appear in total, and the number of multiple-point scoring balls varies depending on the player's current overall placement in the medley, with lower ranked players receiving more. Handball appears as the third event of the Court & Field Medley, the second event of the Unblinking Eye Medley and the fourth event of the Cat-like Reflex Medley.

==Story Mode==
In the game's story mode, Handball appears as part of both challenges in Tricksters Episode 1, [[Waluigi's Ambition]], both in which [[Waluigi]] must beat [[Metal Sonic]], along with [[1000m Kayak (Singles)]] and [[100m Breaststroke]] in the first and [[Badminton (Singles)]] and [[Taekwondo]] in the second. It also appears as part of the challenge of Tricksters Episode 2, [[Wario's Scheme]], in which [[Wario]] must beat [[Dr. Eggman]] in it along with [[Long Jump (Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for Nintendo 3DS)|Long Jump]], 1000m Kayak (Singles), [[25m Rapid Fire Pistol]] and Taekwondo. It appears again as part of the challenge of Tricksters Bonus 2, [[An Old Urn]], in which Metal Sonic must beat Wario in it as well as in 100m Breaststroke and Badminton (Singles).
