Olympic Summer Games

It follows the already common button mashing techniques of previous (and future) games, with the usual exceptions. It has 10 events (three more than Olympic Gold), with all but two based on track and field events. Unlike Winter Olympics, there are no major differences between each event on different platforms.

As in the previous titles, there are three difficulty levels and both Olympics and mini-Olympics (here called "custom game") modes. However, the points table was removed, and the only way to compare results is by the medals' table. In the sprinting events, there are two qualifying rounds, and only the winner (out of four competitors) passes to the next round. On long jump, triple jump, discus and javelin each player has three attempts; the best 10 progress to the final and have three extra attempts. The best result overall wins. In high jump and pole vault, there are not qualifying rounds; the players jump in turns until missing three consecutive jumps.
