1. Intro*****************************************WSR1************************
Welcome to my first FAQ for the Wii! This is my current favorite: my first
Wii game, Wii Sports Resort! Twelve sports in this great remake are now yours,
but first, you must become the master. Enjoy.
2. Swordplay (Overview)*****************************************WSR2*********
[Duel]
- 1 or 2 players
- Available: Always
Controls: Simply take the Wii Remote in both hands (or one handed, for quicker
attacks) and swing to attack your opponent. Depending on the size of
the swing, the attack may be stronger or weaker. Press B to block
opponent attacks. Both attacks and blocks can have a different angle
depending on how you hold the Wii Remote. (Held/swung horizontally
means a horizontal block.)
Gameplay: Just a basic best-of-three duel. Attempt to knock your opponent out
of the ring in about two minutes. If you can't, you tie. Win two of
three rounds, or the final match (round four) to win. The champion
will appear at level 1500 or so.
Tips: Usually, you can tell from what angle your opponent is going to hit you
from. Look at their sword. If their sword is NOT in a blocking position,
observe where it is (on right side? above him/her?). To easily block,
observe this position, and take a near-perpendicular blocking position.
(In other words, make a cross while holding B). If you're lucky, even
the higher level opponents will fall for this, hitting the block and
getting stunned.
Also, this is rather based on luck (the following trick). When your
opponent is blocking, observe the blocking position. Is it horizontal?
Vertical? Make an offensive swing in the exact position of his/her sword
(if possible, a bit higher/lower). This usually results in a hit.
Now, this next tip may not be true. I don't know, but it has worked on
some rare occasions. Sometimes, when your opponent does a vertical block,
the sword may be off be more on one side than the other. Hit the other
side (the one without the sword) with a horizontal swing. This is rather
risky, but can sometimes work in those critical, on-the-edge situations
where your opponent is waiting to stun you, or hit you. Either way, I
still recommend the above trick.
Secrets: - Hold 2 at the loading screen to play at dusk.
- At Pro class, you get new armor with shoulder & thigh pads.
- Beating the champion will earn you his samurai armor.
- After beating the champion, hold 1 at the loading screnn for his
purple sword.
[Speed Slice]
- 1 or 2 players
- Available: Play Duel at least one time.
Controls: Simply take the Wii Remote in both hands (or one handed, for quicker
attacks) and swing to slice a object. You can block, but it is NEVER
needed.
Gameplay: At the start of every round, a referee will throw two of the same
thing in the air. Once it comes down, QUICKLY observe the arrow and
slice in that direction. Slice ten objects correctly first to win.
The champion will appear around level 1500.
Tips: Just be careful and calm. Practice makes perfect on this. You may get Pro
in just a few hours.
Special: - At Pro class, you get new armor with shoulder & thigh pads.
- Beating the champion will earn you his samurai armor.
[Showdown]
- 1 player
- Available: Play Speed Slice at least one time.
Controls: Simply take the Wii Remote in both hands (or one handed, for quicker
attacks) and swing to attack your opponent. Press B to block
opponent attacks. Both attacks and blocks can have a different angle
depending on how you hold the Wii Remote. (Held/swung horizontally
means a horizontal block.)
Gameplay: From the get-go, you are fighting off a mob, essentially. Using the
sword as a weapon, you try to hit those in the group. Your and your
opponents' health is measured in hits. You can take three hits before
you lose. Your opponents can take anywhere from one to three hits
before they oddly disappear. If you defeat all of the opponents in
a single stage, you unlock the next one. There are 20 stages in all.
Tips: Usually, you can tell from what angle your opponent is going to hit you
from. Look at their sword. If their sword is NOT in a blocking position,
observe where it is (on right side? above him/her?). To easily block,
observe this position, and take a near-perpendicular blocking position.
(In other words, make a cross while holding B). If you're lucky, even
the higher level opponents will fall for this, hitting the block and
getting stunned.
Also, this is rather based on luck (the following trick). When your
opponent is blocking, observe the blocking position. Is it horizontal?
Vertical? Make an offensive swing in the exact position of his/her sword
(if possible, a bit higher/lower). This usually results in a hit.
Now, this next tip may not be true. I don't know, but it has worked on
some rare occasions. Sometimes, when your opponent does a vertical block,
the sword may be off be more on one side than the other. Hit the other
side (the one without the sword) with a horizontal swing. This is rather
risky, but can sometimes work in those critical, on-the-edge situations
where your opponent is waiting to stun you, or hit you. Either way, I
still recommend the above trick.
Those you are fighting can be designated into one of five types:
-Green Armor: One heart. They are mainly offensive.
-Brown Armor: One heart. They are usually defensive until you're
stunned.
-Red Armor: Two hearts. They are usually defensive until you're
stunned.
-Purple Armor: Two hearts. They are usually defensive until you're
stunned.
-Black Armor: Three hearts, block constantly.
My final and most useful tip: You'll eventually notice the opponents will
only attack one at a time, but will crowd in on you. Take advantage of
this by swinging wide in a crowd. Also, if you wait before doing the
"Point at the center of the screen" thing by not doing it, the game
won't start, but opponents will get closer and closer. Again, take
advantage of this glitch.
Special: - Get to Pro for new armor with new shoulder & thigh pads.
- Beat Stage 10 Reverse (Stage 20) to get samurai armor.
3. Wakeboarding (Overview)*****************************************WSR3******
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Always
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote horizontally with the D-Pad and A on the left
and facing you. Tilt it left to go left, and right to go right. Tilt
or flick it upwards to jump and do a trick. Either way, tilt the Wii
Remote various ways in the air to land flat, so you can complete the
jump and get points.
Gameplay: You get one minute to cross the wake of the boat and jump, gain air,
and earn points. By tilting the Wii Remote, you can cross the wake.
Do it fast enough to jump in the air. Land flat and earn points. Do
tricks to get extra points. Simple enough.
Tips: When doing tricks, you do NOT have to flick the Wii Remote just as you
hit the wake; you can do it at anytime. Other than that, practice makes
perfect.
Special: None.
4. Frisbee (Overview)*****************************************WSR4***********
[Frisbee Dog]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Always
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote horizontally with the D-Pad and A facing up.
Swing the Wii Remote back and forward.
Gameplay: It's simple enough. Your dog will catch the frisbee you throw. Try to
get closer to the center of the target for more points. You can also
hit balloons for points. You get ten shots.
Tips: My absolute worst and least favorite sport. Well, like a real frisbee,
use your shoulders to aim.
Special: None.
[Frisbee Golf]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Play Frisbee Dog at least one time.
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote horizontally with the D-Pad and A facing up.
Swing the Wii Remote back and forward.
Gameplay: It's like regular golf, but with frisbees. Try to throw the ball
into the ring of light (the hole) in as few shots as possible. The
fewer shots you take, the better.
Tips: Take in mind the average distance for each frisbee, and factor it in
with the distance from the hole. Example: don't use the wedge when you're
two feet from the hole.
Special: - Hold 2 at the loading screen for advanced golf.
- Get -1 or better on all three-hole courses to unlock three more
holes.
5. Archery  (Overview)*****************************************WSR5**********
- 1 to 4 players
- Requires Nunchuk
- Available: Always
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote in your left hand and the Nunchuk in your right
hand. Press A & Z and separate the Nunchuk and Wii Remote, with the
Wii Remote in front, like a bow and arrow. Let the two in the
direction you want to aim and let go of Z to let the arrow fly.
Gameplay: You get three shots each at four targets. Depending on how close to
the center you are, you may get 1-10 points per arrow. The max score
is 120.
Tips: Factor in wind speed and wind direction when playing. Winds of 1 ~ 3 mph
won't bother you much. However, factor in gravity. The greater the
distance, the higher you should aim.
Also, if you're very skilled at always hitting the secret targets, try to
aim for those - if you feel you can do it. They are 10 points each.
Special: - Press 2 at the loading screen for advanced mode.
6. Basketball (Overview)*****************************************WSR6********
[3 Point Contest]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Always
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote at your side with the D-Pad facing you. Point at
the ground and press B to grab a ball. Swing over your head to shoot
the ball. Twist it left to make it go more left, and right to make it
go more to the right.
Gameplay: Simple. You have 25 balls at five different 3-point areas across the
half of the court. The first four balls in each area earn you one
point. The fifth in each area gives you two points. You have sixty
seconds to shoot all of the balls.
Tips: Well, it is basically a straight shot each time, so shoot straight.
Special: None.
[Pickup Game]
- 1 or 2 players
- Available: Play 3 Point Contest at least one time.
Controls: Like before, hold the Wii Remote at your side with the D-Pad facing
you. When on the offense, you can put it in front of you and shake
it to run to the goal or point it at you to go backwards towards the
three point area. Press B to attempt a shot, and then swing it over
your head to shoot. Twist the Wii Remote left/right to make it go
more to the left/right (respectively). Press A or a D-Pad button to
pass. Press B in the blue area to dunk, which cannot be blocked.
On defense, flick the Wii Remote to attempt to steal the ball; note
that a miss will likely trip you. When the offense is shooting (not
dunking), swing the Wii Remote over your head to block, if possible.
Gameplay: Simple. On offense, try to make shots and dunks. On defense, attempt
to stop the other team from doing the same. The game is three minutes
long and is a 3-on-3. The champion appears at level 1500.
Tips: First, DO NOT STEAL IF THE BALL-CARRIER ISN'T IN REACH! If you aren't
almost right next to him/her, you likely will not get the ball and will
likely trip, which brings me to my next tip.
Whenever your opponent trips, ALWAYS take advantage of it. How? By
running past them into the blue area and pressing B for a dunk! It isn't
a three-pointer, but a goal is a goal.
Next, usually CPUs will eventually jump while your on the offense. This
will work up to about the level 2200's or so. Even late, they'll usually
jump in the 3rd-4th second, which is the prime time to shoot (oddly, I
rarely see a block in that time period, and I'm level 2600+!).
Finally, you dupe nearly anyone into jumping on defense by slowly moving
the ball up and down before shooting.
This is kinda cheating, but in two player mode, with your opponent on
offense, stand slightly behind them and/or raise you Wii Remote in synch
with theirs by watching it. Sorry, it is just something I noticed
(besides, it might help you take down a big-shot, I'm-better-than-you
friend at this).
Special: - Hold 2 at the loading screen to play at night.
7. Table Tennis (Overview)*****************************************WSR7******
[Match]
- 1 or 2 players
- Available: Always
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote in one or both hands, similar to how you would
hold a tennis racket. Hit the ball by swinging the Wii Remote. When
and how hard you hit it will determine where it goes. When serving,
press A or swing upwards.
Gameplay: Your basic table tennis match. You serve two balls, then your
opponent will serve two, going back and forth like this. If the ball
bounces twice on one side, the other gets a point. If someone hits it
before it bounces, the other person gets a point. If someone hits it
off the table AND it hits the ground, the other person gets a point.
The first to 6 points wins, or, if it become 5-5, the first to get
two points ahead wins. A tie will occur at 20-20. The champion
appears around level 1500.
Tips: Practice, practice, practice!
Special: - Hold 1 at the loading screen to use a shoe.
- Hold 2 at the loading screen to play an 11 point game.
[Return Challenge]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Play Match at least one time.
Controls: Hold the Wii Remote in one or both hands, similar to how you would
hold a tennis racket. Hit the ball by swinging the Wii Remote. When
and how hard you hit it will determine where it goes.
Gameplay: Someone will start tossing ping-pong balls at you. Hit them, and make
sure they stay on the table. A successful return is one point, and
hitting a can is worth three points. The game ends when you hit a
ball and it goes out before hitting the other side.
Tips: Practice makes perfect.
Special: None.
8. Golf (Overview)*****************************************WSR8**************
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Always.
Controls: Point almost straight down (NEVER completely straight down!!!) and
press B. Use the left/right on the D-Pad to line up your shot, and
press up/down to change clubs. Then hold A, and swing to hit the
ball.
Gameplay: On the first hole of any course, you start out by being told the par
and distance. Try to get the ball into the hole in as few shots as
possible. The lower your score, the better (ex. -4 is better than
-1). There are three, nine, or eighteen holes, depending on the
course you chose.
Tips: Always factor in wind direction and speed. Most of the time, go with
the club you automatically get, except in these situations:
- While on the fairway, if the shot on the map doesn't go too far into
the green (the diamond is where the full power is), press up to get
slightly more powerful club.
- In the rough, use a more powerful club, as power is halved.
- On the edge of the green/fairway near hole, use a wedge. Adjust the
power accordingly.
Also, usually use straight shots.
Special: - Hold 2 at the loading screen for advanced golf.
- Get -1 or better in each three hole course to unlock three more
holes.
9. Bowling (Overview)*****************************************WSR9***********
[Standard Game]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Always.
Controls: Use left/right to line up your shot. Press A and use left/right to
change the angle. Press and hold B, draw the Wii Remote back and
swing it forward to shoot. Depending on shooting style, it may
require you let go of B.
Gameplay: You get two shots at ten pins. At the end of those two shots (or one
if you hit all ten on your first try), the next frame begins and the
ten pins are replaced. There are ten frames in all. If you a spare or
a strike during the tenth frame, you get one extra throw. If you get
twelve strikes in a row, that is a perfect game (300 points).
Tips: This is the ONLY one I need to give: the sweet spot. If you're right hand
is your dominant hand, it is between the 1 & 3 pins. It is the 1 & 2 pins
for lefties. Use the zoom function to aim your shot between the two and
do a "granny shot" (spread legs, and... well, you'll understand) or a
VERY straight shot. Sometimes, it may be a good idea to put some left or
right spin (for lefties and righties, repsecitvely). 90% of the time,
this will result in a strike.
Special: - Starry ball: get Pro.
- Red ball: Hold left at the loading screen.
- Green ball: Hold down at the loading screen.
- Yellow ball: Hold right at the loading screen.
[100-Pin Game]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Play Standard Game at least one time.
Controls: Use left/right to line up your shot. Press A and use left/right to
change the angle. Press and hold B, draw the Wii Remote back and
swing it forward to shoot. Depending on shooting style, it may
require you let go of B.
Gameplay: You get two shots at 100 pins. At the end of those two shots (or one
if you hit all 100 on your first try), the next frame begins and the
100 pins are replaced. There are ten frames in all. If you a spare or
a strike during the tenth frame, you get one extra throw. If you get
twelve strikes in a row, that is a perfect game (3,000 points).
Tips: This is the ONLY one I need to give: the sweet spot. If you're right hand
is your dominant hand, it is between the 1 & 3 pins. It is the 1 & 2 pins
for lefties. Use the zoom function to aim your shot between the two and
do a "granny shot" (spread legs, and... well, you'll understand) or a
VERY straight shot. Sometimes, it may be a good idea to put some left or
right spin (for lefties and righties, repsecitvely). 90% of the time,
this will result in a strike.
Special: None.
[Spin Control]
- 1 to 4 players
- Available: Play 100-Pin Game at least one time.
Controls: Use left/right to line up your shot. Press A and use left/right to
change the angle. Press and hold B, draw the Wii Remote back and
swing it forward to shoot. Depending on shooting style, it may
require you let go of B.
Gameplay: You get two shots at ten pins. At the end of those two shots (or one
if you hit all ten on your first try), the next frame begins and the
ten pins are replaced. There are ten frames in all. If you a spare or
a strike during the tenth frame, you get one extra throw. If you get
twelve strikes in a row, that is a perfect game (300 points).

shoot. Sometimes, it may be a good idea to put some left or right spin
(for lefties and righties, repsecitvely). 90% of the time, this will
result in a strike.
Special: None.

Gameplay: Find people and grab on to them. The photographer will take a picture
of you about 3 ~ 4 seconds later. Try to get everyone facing the
camera for double points. At the end, everyone you caught onto will

Superstar class: Level 2000 to Level ????
Are there any classes after Superstar? Let me know!
15. Swordplay (Stamps)*****************************************WSR15*********
[Duel]
Stamp #1: Cliffhanger
Strategy: Simply block constantly. You must win/lose/draw, or draw three times.
In your first match, this is easiest.
Stamp #2: Straight to the Point
Strategy: Easiest in the tie-breaker round. In the tie-breaker round, you can
just jab and win. Easiest in your first match.
Stamp #3: Met Your Match
Strategy: Same as Stamp #1, but just draw the fourth round by, guess what,
blocking constantly. Easiest in your first match.
Stamp #4: One-Hit Wonder
Strategy: You're seeing a pattern, aren't you? Get to the tie-breaker round,
then stun your opponent. QUICKLY do a wide, swift swing. This needs
to be the only hit in that round. The hit is easiest one-handed, and
the match is easiest if it's your first.
Stamp #5: Last Mii Standing
Strategy: Beat the champion to earn this. It'll help to look at the Duel mode
tips.
[Speed Slice]
Stamp #1: Slice and Dice
Strategy: This may be the easiest stamp ever. Just always hit the object, and
make sure it's sliced correctly. You do not have to win the object.
This is easiest in your first match.
Stamp #2: Slicing Machine
Strategy: Will happen automatically.
Stamp #3: Psychic Slice
Strategy: Just slice in a random direction before the object hits the ground.
This is based on luck.
Stamp #4: Double Time
Strategy: Just watch the alarm clock. Whenever it is around .2 ~ .4 seconds
away from a time with something like 4.4, 5.5, etc., slice.
Stamp #5: A Cut Above
Strategy: Practice makes perfect. Beat the champion to earn this.
[Showdown]
Stamp #1: Not a Scratch
Strategy: Go to Stage 1 and don't get hit. Very easy.
Stamp #2: Sword Fighter
Strategy: Sort of automatic. Beat Stage 10 to get this.
Stamp #3: Perfect 10
Strategy: Block constantly. Hit only when you see an opening. Only doable in
Stage 10.
Stamp #4: Sword Master
Strategy: Block constantly. Hit only when you see an opening. Only doable in
Stage 10 Reverse.
Stamp #5: Untouchable
Strategy: Block constantly. Hit only when you see an opening. Only doable in
Stage 10 Reverse.
16. Wakeboarding (Stamps)*****************************************WSR16******
Stamp #1: Huge Air
Strategy: Simple. Keep doing series of tricks until you reach 100 points.
Stamp #2: Bag of Tricks
Strategy: Keep doing tricks.
Stamp #3: Smooth Landing
Strategy: You'll get this with a little practice.
Stamp #4: Master Carver
Strategy: Again, practice. Doing a few tricks helps, too.
Stamp #5: The Long Way Home
Strategy: Basically, enter practice and constantly do plain jumps. Doing a
trick is risky. Risky means you're likely to fall. If you fall, the
boat will slow down ALL of the way. Complete a course afterwards to
see if you got this.
17. Frisbee (Stamps)*****************************************WSR17***********
[Frisbee Dog]
Stamp #1: Good Dog
Strategy: Simply learn how to get into the center of target by aiming, and it
will happen eventually.
Stamp #2: Balloon Animal
Strategy: Go to Practice. Hitting all nine can be done in three throws, I've
done it, so in ten throws takes practice. Do a round of Frisbee Dog
afterwards to get this stamp.
Stamp #3: A for Effort
Strategy: 10 points per throw? Easy.
Stamp #4: Perfect Target
Strategy: Getting 100 on all ten throws... Well, first, focus on getting Good
Dog. This is a more advanced version of it.
Stamp #5: Golden Arm
Strategy: The toughest stamp. If you can get Stamp #2 and #4, this will happen
eventually.
[Frisbee Golf]
Stamp #1: Under Par
Strategy: You're kidding, right? Do a three-hole course.
Stamp #2: Lucky Skip
Strategy: Do Resort C and follow the conditions.
Stamp #3: On a Roll
Strategy: For this, get just outside the green, then go above your head and
swing down, as if your holding an ax. (Hey, maybe it'll be a Wii
game!)
Stamp #4: Hole-In-One
Strategy: Actually easy. Simply get a course where you easily get on the green
or close in one shot.
Stamp #5: Straight and Narrow
Strategy: Luckily, I don't even do this is REGULAR golf. Since you don't have
to be close to par, make heavy use of shorter distance frisbees in
most cases. Best to try on your first game, as you will lose 100+
levels doing it the easy way.
18. Archery  (Stamps)*****************************************WSR18**********
Stamp #1: Bull Stampede
Strategy: You likely will be able to hit the arrow in the 10 point area in the
first stage of the Beginner. Start there. Try to the first stage and
get three 10s. (Does it work with secret targets?)
Stamp #2: Sure Shot
Strategy: Simple. Just keep practicing on Beginner; it'll happen eventually.
Stamp #3: Century Shot
Strategy: Automatic. I don't know if it must be the same target. If so, play 34
games on the same difficulty. If not, play 9 games.
Stamp #4: A Secret to Everybody
Strategy: The locations of the targets are as follows. The target itself is in
parentheses.
Beginner: Stage 1: Left side of the waterfall. (Orange)
Stage 2: Cliff ledge to the left, between two trees.
(Watermelon)
Stage 3: Behind the left target support. (Cantaloupe)
Stage 4: In the valley to the right. (Strawberry Shortcake)
Intermediate: Stage 1: Top of the tennis courts to the right.
(Orange)
Stage 2: High on the bridge to the left. (Watermelon)
Stage 3: The castle bridge to your right. (Cantaloupe)
Stage 4: High cliff to your right, next to a tree.
(Loaf of Bread)
Expert: Stage 1: On the beach, far to the right. (Orange)
Stage 2: Ledge to the right. (Watermelon)
Stage 3: A roof to the left. (Cantaloupe)
Stage 4: Far to the right, on the right side of the pillar.
Aim low, but high enough to NOT hit the path.
(Alarm Clock)
Stamp #5: Sharpshooter
Strategy: First focus on hitting just one 10-pointer. Then continue on to two
10-pointers, then all three. This is easiest on Beginner.
19. Basketball (Stamps)*****************************************WSR19********
[3-Point Contest]
Stamp #1: Hot Streak
Strategy: Easy enough. Just get five shots in a row.
Stamp #2: Bonus Plumber
Strategy: Same as the first stamp, but just the five bonus balls.
Stamp #3: Quick Draw
Strategy: Twenty points means a minimum of 15 shots (5 bonuses, 5 regulars).
Try focusing on those.
Stamp #4: Hot Hand
Strategy: Practice, practice, practice.
Stamp #5: Pure Shooter
Strategy: Practice, practice, practice.
[Pickup Game]
Stamp #1: Triple Dip
Strategy: If you can make one shot in the 3-Point Contest, you can do this!
Stamp #2: Rim Rattler
Strategy: Make five dunks. Easiest in the first game.
Stamp #3: Lights Out
Strategy: Make five 3-pointers. Again, easiest in the first game.
Stamp #4: Buzzer Beater
Strategy: In your first game, attempt to stay tied/losing by one until the last
five seconds. Pass to someone open, and shoot when the clock says
1.0 or so. Make it to win.
Stamp #5: Hoop Hero
Strategy: Simply get good at blocking, learn when to steal, and make 3-pointers
and dunks.
20. Table Tennis (Stamps)*****************************************WSR20******
[Match]
Stamp #1: In Your Face
Strategy: Hit you opponent in the face. O_o (It's kinda automatic._
Stamp #2: Back From the Brink
Strategy: Keep an eye out for the shot, and hit it.
Stamp #3: Epic Rally
Strategy: Just go back and forth for 30 hits. Don't try to get points, but try
to keep it on the table, and try to stop the opponent from gaining.
Easiest in your first match.
Stamp #4: Perfectly Matched
Strategy: Easiest in your first match. Just get a point, then give the opponent
the next one. Keep going like this until 20-20.
Stamp #5: Table Titan
Strategy: Learn how to curve shots, and learn whether to hit back- or
front-hand.
[Return Challenge]
Stamp #1: 50 Pointer
Strategy: (Auto-gain with Stamp #4 and #5.) Simply practice. It's just
returning 50 balls.
Stamp #2: 100 Pointer
Strategy: (Auto-gain with Stamp #4 and #5.) Remain calm, and practice.
Stamp #3: 200 Pointer
Strategy: A bit tougher. Getting Stamp #4 will put you almost 3/4 of the way
there. Just remain calm.
Stamp #4: Recycler
Strategy: Hitting the can isn't hard. Just curve the ball, and you can get 'em.
Will automatically give Stamp #1 and #2. May give Stamp #3 and #5, if
you focus!
Stamp #5: Save Face
Strategy: Just curve the balls away from the server's face. With this gained,
you'll automatically get Stamp #1 and #2. You may also be able to get
the other two, meaning you could get ALL FIVE in one game!!!
21. Golf (Stamps)*****************************************WSR21**************
Stamp #1: Under Par
Strategy: I found this easiest on Resort A, after a bit of practice. Just one
birdie and two par (or better) is needed (a score of -1 or better).
Stamp #2: Chip-In
Strategy: This is easy, I got one one almost every hole using this trick. See,
it doesn't require it be under par, over par, or par, when you make
the shot. Therefore, make your first shot. Make a second if needed.
Just get near the green, on the side closest to the hole. Now, EASE
the ball onto the EDGE OF THE GREEN (not the green itself). Switch to
the wedge and use the map and factor in wind and elevation slightly
and then make the appropriate shot. You likely will be over par for
the hole (and course), but you still gain the stamp.
Stamp #3: King of Clubs
Strategy: Easy. Do an 18-hole course and get nine birdies or more. If you get a
bogey, cancel it with another birdie, and so on. It just takes some
practice.
Stamp #4: Ace of Clubs
Strategy: It's a bit harder, now. Now you have to get a birdie on EVERY hole in
an 18-hole game. If you get a bogey, you should quit. Par: quit.
Stamp #5: Hole-In-One
Strategy: I've NEVER gotten a hole-in-one. However, on hole two (Resort A), I
have gotten close almost a dozen times. It usually bounces over it,
hits the pole, or rolls in, and, due to inertia, rolls out. The one
I recommend is that very course: HOLE TWO, RESORT A. You could also
use any 3-Par hole, but Hole 2 is the easiest.
22. Bowling (Stamps)*****************************************WSR22***********
[Standard Game]
Stamp #1: Gobble Gobble
Strategy: Getting three strikes in a row takes practice. Try hitting the sweet
spot.
Stamp #2: Split Spare
Strategy: A split is when the 1/head pin is knocked down, AND two or more pins
are separated with a gap in-between. The easiest to do are the 4-5,
5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, and 9-10, as you simply have to aim in-between
them. The 5-10, 5-7, 4-10, and 6-7 are also easy: just use the little
arrow marks to make a straight shot. You MUST get a spare to get this.
Stamp #3: Pro Bowler
Strategy: This will happen with practice and abuse of the sweet spot.
Stamp #4: Pin Dropper
Strategy: Again, practice and abuse of the sweet spot.
Stamp #5: Perfect Game
Strategy: TWELVE strikes is something beyond me. Again, LOTS of practice and
abuse of the sweet spot, as well as plenty of luck, are needed.
[100-Pin Game]
Stamp #1: Super Strike
Strategy: The sweet spot is here too....
Stamp #2: Split Spare
Strategy: A bit tougher. Wait for an easy, next-to-each-other one, or get
lucky.
Stamp #3: Off the Wall
Strategy: A bit of trial and error. Each shot should have a lot of power.
Stamp #4: Secret Strike
Strategy: First, move ALL of the way on your dominant side (right hand = right
side) of the lane, up next to the gutter guard. You must put a fair
deal of power and just and a few degrees of twist on the spin to get
it. Make sure it goes all of the way down.
Stamp #5: Pin Dropper
Strategy: Big splits are murder here. Focus on strikes.
[Spin Control]
Stamp #1: One for All
Strategy: First, hit one pin or more on your first throw, then into the gutter
on your second. Repeat this until the 10th frame, at which point you
should try striking out. This is best on your first game, as you may
lose lots of levels later.
Stamp #2: Split Spare
Strategy: Simply try to get a simple split on your first try in the first frame
of the game. Do NOT aim for the sweet spot, but you must hit the head
pin!
Stamp #3: Head First
Strategy: Like with One for All, hit the head pin, and go for the gutter.
Stamp #4: English Major
Strategy: Try simply aiming away from all barriers. In the moving ones,
especially the three movers, just wait and time it. You need to get
some strikes, so try for those in the 10th.
Stamp #5: Pin Dropper
Strategy: Try to force out spares to keep the difficulty down.
23. Power Crusing (Stamps)*****************************************WSR23*****
[Slalom Course]
Stamp #1: Ringmaster
Strategy: Rings don't disappear. Just go slow.
Stamp #2: 5000 Pointer
Strategy: The Cavern is best, going 200 or so per run.
Stamp #3: Power Cruiser
Strategy: Focus on going fast, but not so fast you miss all of the rings.
Stamp #4: Power Jumper
Strategy: Remember to save boost for upcoming mid-air rings.
Stamp #5: Leisure Cruiser
Strategy: Go for the Cavern. Turn a little to the right, it's near the Gateway
Arch. Turn left about 90 degrees to the Needle Point Rock and head in
the Sea Serpent Cavern. It is in there. On the other side, go past
the Cabana Lagoon to the Barnacle Arch. The third balloon is there.
Curve around the lighthouse towards the town. Go between the Queen
Peach and the dock, where the fourth balloon is. Head to Wedge Isle
and to the peninsula pointing at the town, where the fifth balloon
is.
[VS.]
There are no stamps in VS. mode.
24. Canoeing (Stamps)*****************************************WSR24**********
[Speed Challenge]
Stamp #1: Beginner License
Strategy: Easy. You'll get on the first day you play.
Stamp #2: Intermediate License
Strategy: It may take practice, but you'll get it.
Stamp #3: Expert License
Strategy: Practice makes perfect.
Stamp #4: Ducks in a Row
Strategy: Just go all over the lake. You can bring them back to their mother
for safe keeping. Some may be out of bounds, so you'll have to row
near the edge until it sees you. Complete a course afterwards to
get this stamp.
Stamp #5: Cut the Red Tape
Strategy: It's best to do this in multiplayer!
[VS.]
There are no stamps in VS. mode.
25. Cycling (Stamps)*****************************************WSR25***********
[Road Race]
Stamp #1: Last Gasp
Strategy: Just sprint a bit earlier than you normally would OR get up against
a wall near the finish and get down to zero hearts, but not out of
breathe, and head to the finish SPRINTING.
Stamp #2: First of Many
Strategy: You're kidding. You seriously are kidding.
Stamp #3: 1-Stage Master
Strategy: It isn't hard. The key is drafting as much as possible.
Stamp #4: 3-Stage Master
Strategy: Just move up about 20-30 a day.
Stamp #5: 6-Stage Master
Strategy: You must focus on not always being in first constantly. Going up
about 20-30 per day will be plenty.
[VS.]
There are no stamps in VS. mode.
26. Air Sports (Stamps)*****************************************WSR26********
[Skydiving]
Stamp #1: High Five
Strategy: Easy. Heck, you have a group right in front of you!
Stamp #2: For the Birds
Strategy: Try taking pictures once the altimeter appears. You'll get lucky at
some point.
Stamp #3: Friends in High Places
Strategy: Once you start getting full groups, this will be piece of cake...
Kinda.
Stamp #4: Camera Shy
Strategy: Simply start by holding the Wii Remote vertical. Then, when the
photographer appears, you'll notice she moves around a lot. Try to
predict where she's going to be.
Stamp #5: 200 Point Dive
Strategy: Like with Stamp #3, you'll need a minimum of SEVEN groups AND they
all must show their faces in every single photo.
[Island Flyover]
Stamp #1: Island Hopper
Strategy: Just head to Wedge Island and get an (i) point.
Stamp #2: Pop Frenzy
Strategy: Wait until you unlock the double blasters.
Stamp #3: Follow That Plane
Strategy: First, fire flares until you find Miguel. If you have about 3:30 when
you find him, follow him.
Stamp #4: Wuhu Tour Guide
Strategy: It's simple. Find all of the (i) marks in one time of day, then the
evening/night ones will be easier.
There is a map of them:
http://www.gamespot.com/features/6213637/p-4.html
Stamp #5: Balloonatic
Strategy: Just be patient and focus on white balloons. You don't have to do it
in the course of one flight, but focus on white balloons!
[Dogfight]
There are no stamps in Dogfight.
27. Checklist*************************************WSR27**********************
Here is where I happily provided a checklist for you so you can keep track of
your progress throughout each sport. Simply put something in the [] to mark
that you've completed that part of the game.
The three sports that have been marked with a * are those with multiple modes
(by mode, I mean something like Standard Game in Bowling, or Match in Table
Tennis), but those modes have no stamps and share levels with the other mode(s)
of that sport. Therefore:
- Power Cruising applies to Slalom Course only
- Canoeing applies to Speed Challenge only
- Cycling applies to Road Race only
