## Champion Island Games

The **Champion Island Games** is a quadrennial event that happens on Champion Island in which the strongest athletes gather and compete. All animals are welcome to participate and attempt to defeat the champions in various sports.

### Process

#### Main Sports

Main sports mean the sports the player gets to compete by entering the red gate, and will be given a scroll after beating it.

In the event, the athletes challenge the Champions by entering the Red Gates situated all over the island. Sports such as skateboarding , artistic swimming, and climbing does not require the player to win *against* the previous champion: while other sports such as rugby, archery, marathon and table tennis would require the player to compete against the champion(s).

After completing the sport, athletes are rewarded with dangos depending on how well they played (If they don't manage to defeat the Champion). Dango is a Japanese dumpling made from rice flour - There are three of them, pink, yellow, and green - in a wooden stick.

Otherwise, they also get a scroll and get to become to next Champion of the sport they beat the previous one at (If they manage to defeat the Champion). The scroll that was floating below the red gate will vanish and will automatically transport into the statue in the main plaza, which will then have the shape of the player, Lucky the Cat.

#### Minor Sports

Minor Sports award the main player with scrolls, but does not display them in the main plaza or with a statue.

Minor Sports are unlocked by winning the previous one and completing certain tasks throughout the game. For example, stopping the rain in the bamboo forest would unlock a new game of table tennis. Lighting four stone lanterns does a similar thing.

### Myth

There is a myth about the "Chosen One", who will bring balance to Champion Island by gathering all the scrolls and beating all the champions. However, the myth is made up by the Stone Guardians to motivate the participants into the event.

## Trivia

* Each area of the island are meant to represent Japan's rich and natural environment. (such as underwater places, sandy tropical beaches, forests, and snowy mountains)
