The six-time Olympic gold medalist and so-called "fastest man on Earth", Jamaican runner Usian Bolt, is now a playable character in the mobile game Temple Run 2.
This is the first instance in which Imangi Studios, the game’s creator, has added a character based on someone in real life. Imangi Studios, called Bolt's addition to the game an "obvious and fitting partnership."
Bolt joins the game's cast of fictional characters as a 99-cent in-app purchase available from the game's "Upgrades" menu, wearing his signature yellow-and-green Olympic uniform. He also brings the unique power-up, "Bolt", when activated, the character auto-dashes at breakneck speed, immune from the game's traps, with the coin magnet.
"I am a big fan of Temple Run. I travel all over the world, and travel time gives me lots of opportunity to play Temple Run at airports or on car journeys," Bolt said. "It's exciting to see myself represented within a game I already play."
Temple Run 2 is free for iOS and Android
