- “Beijing, Vancouver and now London. This is my third Olympic Games! I hope everyone else is having fun! To show my appreciation, I want to pass out stickers, but I don't have that many. I'll give stickers to the one who knows the most about the Olympic events.”
- —Omochao, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)
Event Quiz! is a 4-player minigame in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Wii.
Gameplay[edit]
In this game, players answer three multiple choice or yes-or-no questions about the various events in the Olympic Games. Up to 50 points are awarded for answering correctly. Points are deducted as the player takes longer to answer. When time is up, the correct answer is shown and Omochao gives an explanation. He begins speaking while the timer is running, so the player can answer before he is done giving the entire statement. Trick statements where Omochao stops before saying the entire statement are indicated with an ellipsis. The one with the most points is the winner, even if it is a tie.
