Tips on Long Jump for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Two of video gaming's most adored icons are together in their own video game. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games pits a cast of characters from the Nintendo and Sonic the Hedgehog universe against one another in Olympic-style games that will give even the most hardcore gamer something to smile about. The game features a number of challenging events, such as the long jump.

Speed
- Remember to run at maximum speed when approaching the jump; the faster the rate of speed of your character, the better.
The Art of the Jump
- While your character's speed is important, the most important aspect of the long jump is the jump itself. Do not jerk hard when performing the jump as you will either jump too far or will land a very short jump. The trick is to time your jumps and find a "sweet spot." By doing so, you will jump at exactly the right time and will land a successful long jump.
Practice
- Chances are high that you will not master the long jump on your first try. As with all things, practice is the best way to get better. If you are having trouble and want to become better, keep trying the event over and over.
