Question
Hi,

Do you know a strategy for the aquatics division: 100m freestyle.. It's so hard i can't even be 3rd place.. i'm always last place.. So do you have any good strategy

Answer
You should choose Peach for this event, because her swimming shape is quite easy to trace with the stylus. Dragging the stylus from right to left at the start of the race gets a nice starting boost, then move the stylus in the right way to move quickly. For Peach, bring it back and forth as fast as possible. When the character runs low on stamina (which is in the heart), hit L or R very fast to restore it. When you see the "!" next to your character near the end of the pool. tap the screen to make a quick turn. Keep repeating the shape on the way back until you finish the race.
