Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Amy Rose appears as an All-Around character, featuring good skill and stamina stats, average speed, and below average power.

Amy Rose utilizes some sort of heart power similar to Peach for her special moves. In the Wii version for Amy Rose's Dream Table Tennis special move, she laughs and hits the ball over the table covered with hearts with a "Go!". It hovers in above the table for a second, then plummets down. This move is quite easy to return, but if it isn't it will probably knock the opponent over. In Amy Rose's fencing special move, she lunges forward, propelled by her heart power in one powerful jab.
