General Advice: Set the difficulty before starting the speedrun in every event that needs so. You go through the Menus faster with the stylus/finger.

OLYMPIC EVENTS

Alpine Skiing: It's better if you just go around the fences without taking them. It's more consistent and you can get times similars to the current World Record in real time. The Time Losses are only from the ingame time, so this event is easy to do even if you have never ever played Alpine once.

Ski Jumping: Get the worst character and jump as low as possible. On the second jump you want to get a little bit further away, since you need to wait for the Points to show up and for your character to make a victory or losing dance. It's better if the 1st/2nd/4th position is showing up while your character is making the win-lose animation.

Moguls: You just wanna go fast. Choose a character that jumps low and runs fast. Interestingly, avoiding the bumps is faster than going in a straight line, so pick up the items.

Cross Country: You gotta train and become somewhat good. Select Hard difficulty, since you will be capable of building up a boost behind the NPCs.

Nordic Combined: You gotta train in Cross Country and become somewhat good.

---

Speed Skating: You don't need to be good for this one. Select Hard difficulty, since the NPCs take a while to finish the race and you'll have to wait for them. Depending on who you are up against, this event will take longer than normal, it's RNG. In a way, it doesn't matter if you go fast or not, you will have to wait for the NPC to finish in the end. You just can't lose.

Short Track: If you want to be a World Record Holder you need to be incredibly good and train a lot for this event, however for an AllEvents/ WinAllEvents being 3-4 seconds behind the WR is something that you can pull off with consistency, no matter how many times you crash against the walls or what you do. It's easy, just have consistency with the acceptable times that you want to achieve.

Figure Skating: I found a skip that I haven't used in my WinAllEvents run. As it turns out, you can skip the Musical notes part and still finish first. It's a 25 second TimeSave if you choose the 2nd song and pull off everything perfectly. Careful, you might want to play it save, you are skipping so much that it barely lets you win.

---

Snowboarding: You gotta improve. Become consistent. If you are a good player, you will always have an advantage of a few seconds over less skilled runners.

Bobsleigh: Don't crash. The TimeLoss is minimal so long you don't crash. Skeleton: Don't crash. The TimeLoss is minimal so long you don't crash.

---

Hockey: Set the game to the shortest time and set the speed to fast. The values reset after restarting the game. // You gotta be smart about it, the event has a timer but it stops every time you score and every time someone uses an Ultimate move. A little before the game tells you that there are X seconds before the game ends, the players will change their behaviour and hiding behind your goal will not be effective anymore, you gotta run in circles or do something creative about it.

You can prevent the puck from scoring on your side by touching the goalee. Touch your goalee when the puck is touching the goalee. The puck will be stopped.

Curling: Set stones to 3 or 4 and the number of games to the lowest amount. Every time you restart the game, the stone-discs value resets. // A Strat I never used in WinAllEvents is throwing your discs to the river-canal next to you. I do that in AllEvents, but one could argue that it is a risky strat here. However, once you have a disc in the middle of the BullsEye, you can stop playing save: the Easy Difficulty AI is not very capable, and it will rarely displace your disc enough for you to lose. It's less likely. Also, as you can see in my AllEvents run, or in my AllOlympicEvents run, sometimes the AI hits your own discs and makes you win, even when you don't do anything. It happens more often than I expected, so it's a viable strat that offers a whole 1 minute of saved time overall. There are 2 games of Curling though, so don't abuse the trick, it's essentially RNG.

Biathlon: Select Hard Difficulty. This event is like Cross Country.

Luge: Don't crash, stay on the yellow line. You don't need to risk it, it's pretty easy.

DREAM EVENTS

OBSERVATION: In a AllDreamEvents run the only events that can save time significantly are: Ski Cross Racing, Intense Short Track, and Extreme Snowboarding. Having mastered any of these 3 is key to pushing the record down. The hardest being Extreme Snowboarding, and the easiest being Intense Short Track (so easy in fact, that I got the world record just to be capable of pushing my AllDreamEvents record lower). Ski Cross Racing is the first event of them all, so resetting instantly is a major advantage. The harder task is improving in Extreme Snowboarding, and then getting lucky during your run, since it is an event full of RNG. This one is not like Ski Cross Racing, because it's twice as long and you cannot reset an restart your run if you feel like it. Beware Hockey, it can cost you time.

Ski Cross Racing: It has some RNG, but as long as you don't fall from the course you can get acceptable times (1-4 seconds behind the WR). You need to familiarize with it first, it's easy to be 10 seconds behind, so lower your PB to the second (not milisecond) where the Wixirix record is at.

Rocket Ski Jumping: It's better if you collect the rings and crash against an iceberg. You are going really slow when you fall down.

Downhill: Skip the Shield, kill yourself

---

Half Pipe Deluxe: easiest thing. JenteJ has very smartly pointed out that Tails and Peach allow you to drift faster. Go straight to the finish, don't jump.

Intense Short Track: You gotta improve your times. It's easy to become better at this event, and it will save you a lot. I was losing 10-15 seconds always, after getting the WR, I consistently got times 2-3 seconds behind my WR.

Ultimate Figure Skating: Timer based event. You gotta wait it out // JenteJ has pointed out that the Sonic song finishes 2 seconds earlier than the other 2.

---

Extreme Snowboarding: The toughest of them all. You have to improve and pray for good RNG.

---

OBSERVATION: It is after this point that an AllEvents run essentially becomes a long wait for the events to finish. All of the events forward require you to wait them out, since they involve timers. That's why an AllDreamEvents run could easily become optimized by a good runner.

Blazing Bobsleigh: for the AllEvents run this event is easy: you just crash as fast as possible. No skill, no nothing. The same goes for AllDreamEvents.

For the WinAllEvents though, this becomes an RNG challenge. In the best case scenario, all of the other NPCs will have crashed and they will die. Once they are all out, you can crash your own bobsleigh and win without reaching the finish line. No one has strategized too much about that, but you could follow the bobsleighs up close and crash against the remaining contenders, to force them to lose. It also depends on the RNG: different couples have different lifes and it will take more hits for them to crash. That's why the AllEvents run uses Waluigi and Eggman, they are really weak. Beware, inverting the order of the characters can grant them more life, for some reason. Remember that you can hit your opponents (and kill yourself) with the Dash Attack, which is performed by pressing left and Y or right and A twice in a row. You can crash in 5.099 seconds, almost sub 5 suic1de! (I call it Emo%)

Dream Hockey: the same as Hockey, but the NPCs change behaviour twice: when the gate that gives you stuff is opened and when the game is about to finish. It's a tiny bit harder, but you can lose a lot of time here with the animations. Beware

You can prevent the puck from scoring on your side by touching the goalee. Touch your goalee when the puck is touching the goalee. The puck will be stopped.

Dream Bowling: the same as Curling, in WinAllEvents you can throw the discs to your side if you see that you are winning by a lot.

Dream Ski Shooting: Timer base event, wait it out.

Snowball CannonFight: Timer base event, wait it out.

OVERALL NOTES: My AllEvents run was not fully optimized and can save a decent amount of time, but requires a certain mastery of lots of the events inside the game. A WinAllEvents run can save a lot of time, somewhere close to 2 minutes, if the strats of Curling, Curling Bowling and Figure Skating are successfully implemented in a clean run. An AllOlympicEvents run is about skill in several events with a mix of RNG in some others, but overall is less demanding than an AllEvents run. While an AllDreamEvents run revolves around optimizing a few very important events and avoiding time losses on Hockey, which makes it the easiest category.
