Wii Games

*Tetherball - The object here is to smack the ball around the the pole so that your opponent can't hit it back while your opponent tries to do the same thing.
*Dodgeball - Here, you try to get all the players on your opponent's team out by hitting them with balls.
*Wall Ball - In this game, you try to hit the ball against the wall through power-ups (for example, warp holes) so that it goes past your opponent. If you do this, you score a point.
*Slot Car Racing - The basic object of the minigame is to get to the finish line in first place.
*Kicks - This game is a mix of soccer and volleyball. You have to kick the ball over the net and into the opponent's goal.
*Dart Shootout - Your goal is to shoot the targets with sad/mad faces on them to earn points(not the happy faces; those subtract points), shoot people to also earn points, and beat the level boss.
*Paper Airplane Racing - To win you have to steer your plane through obstacles to the finish line getting power-ups like speed boosts extra time, and sometimes red, green, and blue rings.
