Ski Jumping: A good take-off angle is the key to a good jump.
Curling: Manipulate the stone into the center of the "house" with advanced throwing control and sweeping. Note that sweeping makes the stone travel further along the course. Curling is a competition between teams, high score wins. Here, a tournament is held between four teams, one for each player. When less than four players are competing, the remaining teams will be played by the computer. Two teams compete at a time, alternating with one throw apiece. One "end" is completed after each team throws 4 stones (B total), at which time the team that has placed a stone nearest to the center of the "house" (rings drawn on the ice surface) wins.
Free Style aerials: Can you come from behind to win with your last jump? Or solidify your victory? It's all in the timing! The level of difficulty is different according to the jump. Of course, more points can be received for a jump with a high level of difficulty, but you do not receive a good score if you make a mistake in entering the commands. Further, the same maneuver cannot be performed for both jumps.
