Whether Practice or Combat mode the game needs to know how many human players there are

Up to four human players are catered for. Each has their own pair of buttons to bash. There are options to select which pair of buttons is used

In Practice mode the player gets to choose which event to compete in, in Combat mode there is no such choice

The start of an event is always well announced

The 800m race is the only one where the player has to keep an eye on their runners stamina

At the end of the race the runners gasp for breath. When the winner is announced she does a little dance
