Comments
The run starts off with Wall Climbing to save some menu times for RTA Timing, where the time of the wall climb takes 9.867 seconds, almost twice as fast as the CPUs.
Golf is a difficult sport, unless you're a TAS. The first of 3 holes is a Par 4, and the TAS got an eagle making it 2 under par. The second hole is a Par 3, and the TAS gets a Hole in One, making the TAS a total of 4 under par. The third and final hole of this run is a Par 5, and the TAS finishes in 3 shots, making the final score as -6.
The third sport of the TAS is Ping Pong, where the TAS plays against a CPU until it misses the ball.

Wall Climbing
This sport is chosen first to optimise RTA Timing, and is a simple sport where you tap the direction of the next rock on the wall. At parts where a grab up is required, the player needs to alternate between both directions by sliding the stylus.
Golf
Golf is a difficult sport, unless you're a TAS. The first of 3 holes is a Par 4, and the TAS got an eagle making it 2 under par. The second hole is a Par 3, and the TAS gets a Hole in One, making the TAS a total of 4 under par. The third and final hole of this run is a Par 5, and the TAS finishes in 3 shots, making the final score as -6.
Ping Pong
The TAS plays against a CPU until it misses the ball, not much here.
Sky Diving
Sky diving is a timed event, winning is as simple as getting a higher score in the full 60 seconds, no skipping. This means there's room for entertainment! So I added some entertainment, enjoy : )
Rugby
Rugby is another timed sport, with it being 2 minutes per half, with 2 halves. This means 4 minutes of messing around! You do need 1 try to win however.
Arm Wrestling
Arm Wrestling is a basic sport where you slide the stylus across the screen fast to bring the CPU's arm to the table, and then do a tap to do the final touch, which the TAS does frame perfectly.
Cheerleading
Cheerleading is another semi-timed sport, where its about tapping and sliding on the screen to get a high score, the TAS gets a perfect score which beats all CPUs.
Sepak Takraw
This is another sport against another team, it's often called kick volleyball and it's basically just that.
Bobsled
Bobsled is a speed based sport, using a Large size character is faster due to better acceleration.
Clay Shooting
Clay shooting is a long sport where the player shoots targets, which is done as soon as possible in the TAS.

RTA timing starts when play is selected in the first sport and ends when “WIN” shows on the final sport.
