Special attack (Mario & Sonic series)

Special Attacks are moves in the Dream Events of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. They appear in two events on the Wii; Dream Fencing and Dream Table Tennis. You use them by pressing A+B at the same time while doing the Lunge/Hit. The attack varies with each character. They are very helpful and can be used to get an advantage over your opponent. Whilst playing the two events, there is a bar at the bottom which fills with energy every hit. When the bar is filled, you can use a special Attack and will start again to reach a new attack. The max amount of attacks you can have at one time is 3.
