Sports games here you have to be the fastest or jump the highest are kind of hard to translate to a medium where you have to press buttons and waggle joysticks. So you mostly end up trying to press the buttons as fast as you can. And if you can press the buttons the fastest, then you win. Though, with the pulled muscles you’re going to get playing games like this, there are really no winners.
So you, and up to one other person compete in a bunch of athletic events by mashing the buttons as fast as you can. Playing this game made my forearms ache mightily. Your stamina and fortitude will be tested. Play it enough and you might get Popeye-style forearms, but I didn’t play it that long.
