Gameplay[edit]

In this event, the player plays as two characters from the Heroes category, and competes against a team of the other two Heroes, as well as a pair ofKoopa Troopas and a pair ofChao who will always take the bottom two positions. During the event, the player must use to alter the position of the sail, with the angle and direction shown by an arrow on the water, and blow into the microphone to cause the boat to move forward. The harder the player blows, the further the boat will travel. The player is only allowed to blow at certain times, with time in between to be used for adjusting the boat's course, which cannot be done while the player is blowing or immediately afterwards. If the player hits the buoys at the sides of the course, they will be bounced back onto it and continue in the opposite direction. The course is also filled with whirlpools, which will slow the player down if they come into contact with one, and orange panels that function similarly toDash Panels and give the player a short speed boost if sailed over, although they will disappear briefly afterwards and will reappear after a short while. The whirlpools may either come singularly or in pairs, while the panels either come singularly or in groups of three.
