Dream Long Jump

Dream Long Jump

Dream Long Jump is a Dream Event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (DS version only). It is an extreme version of the event, Long Jump, as characters sprint off a track and fly through the air. The goal of this event is to fly the farthest before landing. However, characters must land on an island; falling into the water will result in a foul. The wind becomes a factor in speed and movement of the participant. Items can also be used to enhance the performance of the jumper or to harm others. Dream Long Jump takes place at Blue Sky Island.

A variation of this event appears in the Wii version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
