Poses Required
==============

The Remote Control
      Just point the Wiimote toward the screen. Most of these games involve
      using the pointer, so ensure you aim the Wiimote at the screen before the
      game actually starts. Sounds stupid, but it's a common mistake.

The Waiter
      Hold out your hand flat and rest the Wiimote face up upon it. Most of
      these games require balance of some degree, so when you are doing one of
      these games hold it as flat and as still as you can before the game
      begins.

The Tug-Of-War
      Pointing the Wiimote toward the screen with two hands on it, most of
      these games involve moving the Wiimote away or toward the screen.
      Although this is the same as the Remote Control effectively, the two
      handed stance does help get you pulling the remote to pass the games.

The Elephant
      Hold the Wiimote from your nose facing outward. You don't actually have
      to do this as it's pretty much the same as the Remote Control (most use
      the pointer) however it's more fun if you actually do. :)

Microgames
==========

------------
Broom Shtick
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter
Objective: Keep the broom upright!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Short head.
    Level 2 - Medium head.
    Level 3 - Long head.
Strategy: Hold the broom as still as possible. If it moves then gradually
          move the Wiimote in the opposite direction. If you start this game
          with the Wiimote moving or unstraight, then it'll fall over straight
          away so get it right!
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------------
That's How I Roll
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter
Objective: Roll the balls into the holes!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One ball.
    Level 2 - Two balls.
    Level 3 - Three balls.
Strategy: Moving the Wiimote moves the stage, so tilt it so a ball goes into
          the hole closest to it to start with then deal with the rest. Do
          small gradual movements, as if you start rolling around it will be
          hard to stop the ball and you won't be able to get it back into the
          centre again.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: A snowman, rainbow and dolphins come out of the holes when you
             complete this microgame.


----------------
Plane and Simple
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Plane the wood!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Short amount of wood.
    Level 2 - Medium amount of wood.
    Level 3 - Large amount of wood.
Strategy: Pull the Wiimote toward you, then foward and back again until all the
          wood is planed. The later stages have more wood to plane so do it
          faster.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Level 1 are skiis, Level 2 are train tracks and Level 3 are the
             rings of Saturn.


---------
Logged In
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Saw the wood!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Thin piece of wood.
    Level 2 - Medium piece of wood.
    Level 3 - Large piece of wood.
Strategy: Lower the Wiimote so put the saw to the wood so it doesn't bend and
          move it back and forth to saw through it. You'll need to be quicker
          in the later stages, but saw slower to begin with then speed up
          otherwise you'll bend the saw.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The first level has a heart shape through the wood.


----------
Anchor Man
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Play Tug-Of-War and win!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One tug.
    Level 2 - Two tugs.
    Level 3 - Three-five tugs.
Strategy: Pull back on the Wiimote to tug the team over the line. Stage 3 is
          tough as it takes at least 3 to do, so just keep tugging back and
          forth quickly until you manage it.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


---------------------
Castanet, First Chair
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter
Objective: Slap the Castanet (the Wiimote) in time!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One note.
    Level 2 - Two notes.
    Level 3 - Three notes.
Strategy: Holding the Wiimote in your hand, slap the top it with the other
          hand when the note passes through it. It does pick it up surprisingly
          and be sure to do it firmly. You need to do it in time for the
          later stages.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The notes turn into frogs if you pass, otherwise they will get
             eaten by a snake.


-----------------
Meet The Eggheads
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Guide the boy egg to his parents!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Linear maze.
    Level 2 - Bendy maze.
    Level 3 - Very bendy maze.
Strategy: Point the Wiimote at the boy egg to assume control of him, and
          slowly guide him through the maze. If you touch the normal sizes
          you lose control, and if you touch the jaggied edges then you fail.
          Take your time and have a steady aim.
Obstacles: Jaggied edges.
Other notes: The screen colour changes as you near the jaggied edges, a helpful
             warning.


--------
Pink Eye
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Elephant.
Objective: Destroy all the white enemies!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Single line of enemies.
    Level 2 - Two lines of enemies.
    Level 3 - Three lines of enemies.
Strategy: Point at the enemies to take them down with the laser. They are 
          destroyed on contact so just sweep the screen quickly to take them
          all down.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The higher the level, the more kids you rescue.


------------------
Geared For Landing
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control.
Objective: Rotate the gears to open up the bridge for the plane!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Single plane.
    Level 2 - Chance of a fake plane.
    Level 3 - Chance of a fake plane.
Strategy: With the Wiimote, move it in a circle (still pointing toward the
          screen) clockwise to move it up and anticlockwise to move it
          down. When you see the plane, quickly move the bridge so it can
          get though. With levels 2 and 3 there is a chance of a fake plane
          which very quickly appears, and then backs out again so if you do
          see plane that quickly then wait for the other one to arrive before
          moving, otherwise you'll have more ground to cover.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------
This Bites!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Elephant
Objective: Move out of the way of the insects, otherwise you'll be bitten!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One insect.
    Level 2 - Two insects.
    Level 3 - Three insects.
Strategy: Point the face from side to side across the pillow, as long as you
          don't stop the insects won't have a chance to land.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


---------------
Suit of Armoire
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Find the item in the drawers!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One item to choose from.
    Level 2 - Two items to choose from.
    Level 3 - Three items to choose from.
Strategy: Items will appear above the drawers, however only one will actually
          enter. Pay attention and open that drawer. Stage 3 will also mix
          drawers up so pay attention as to where your item is. To open the
          draw, point the Wiimote at it and pull it back away from the screen.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Objects include knight's helmet, dress, diamond rings and
             (the Master?) Sword.


------------
All Wound Up
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Unwind the remotes out of the snakes grasp!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One snake.
    Level 2 - Two snakes.
    Level 3 - An anti-cyclone.
Strategy: Still pointing forward, rotate the Wiimote to unwind it from the
          snakes grasp. If you are rotating in the wrong direction then you
          will make it tighter so quickly do it the other day. For the
          third level, the anti-cyclone, spin it clockwise always.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------
The Outcast
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Spot the odd one out!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Normal.
    Level 2 - Normal.
    Level 3 - Clouds, well, cloud your vision.
Strategy: Using the pointer, check out the 9 objects on screen and spot the
          odd one out. It's not too hard to see from a few seconds glance,
          and when you have got it, point at it and press the A button.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Choices include Cowboys and Business men, Squares and Triangles,
             and your self-created Miis.


------------
Helping Hand
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter.
Objective: Catch all those who fall!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One faller.
    Level 2 - Two fallers.
    Level 3 - Two fallers, different speeds.
Strategy: Point underneath the falling person to catch them. Level 3 has two
          fallers however one will have an umbrella to slow their fall and
          the other won't, so spot them and get the latter first.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------
Sweeps Week
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Sweep the ice to get the curler to the target!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Short distance.
    Level 2 - Medium distance.
    Level 3 - Long distance.
Strategy: Just move the Wiimote closer and further away from the screen until
          the curler hits the target at the end. Nothing tough here.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The game is Curling, by the way.


---------------
Spring Cleaning
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Clean up the mess with the vacuum cleaner!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Small mess.
    Level 2 - Medium mess.
    Level 3 - Large mess.
Strategy: Strange mix of using the pointer and moving the Wiimote here; point
          the Wiimote at the screen at all times and move the Wiimote back
          and forth to clean up the mess. Do simple clean sweeps to get all the
          rubbish.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The mess is in fact leaves and such, giving a double meaning to
             the game's name, Spring Cleaning.


--------------
Volley, Y'All!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Tug-Of-War
Objective: Hit the Volleyball back off the net.
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Long time to react.
    Level 2 - Short time to react.
    Level 3 - Little time to react.
Strategy: Follow the ball's position and point across the screen to move the
          palms so it bounces off them and back over. As long as you connect
          with the ball, you pass. Later you have less time to react as the
          ball is placed to you quicker, just be sure to keep pointing at the
          screen and not move the remote around.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------------
Clean Your Plate!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter
Objective: Clean the plate by washing the water over it!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - One spot of dirt to clean.
    Level 2 - Two spots of dirt to clean..
    Level 3 - Three spots of dirt to clean..
Strategy: Tilting the plate makes the water wash down it in that direction,
          so if the dirt is on the left side, tilt it left. Later stages has
          more dirt in different places; aim in the centre of the dirt to
          get it cleaned quicker.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-------------
Smile And Nod
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Elephant
Objective: If the question is correct, nod with the Wiimote!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Different Question.
    Level 2 - Different Question.
    Level 3 - Trickier, Different Question.
Strategy: Read the question carefully and if it's true, then nod, otherwise
          just stay still. Questions are about you and the date, for example
          'Is NAME Male?', 'Is it 2PM'?, 'In 9 years, will it be 2032'? and
          so on. Due to that nature of the questions there are no definate
          answers, so just quickly work it out. You have some time to think
          about it, so do so.
Obstacles: No.
Other notes: This microgame is in the form of a quiz show, featuring your Mii.


-----------------
Junk And My Trunk
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Elephant
Objective: Place the apple to the basket!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Place the apple into the basket.
    Level 2 - Pick and place the apple into the basket.
    Level 3 - Collect the balloon and give it to the lady.
Strategy: Point toward the apple with the Wiimote pointer and move across the
          screen either to the basket or lady.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.


-----------------------
BOSS STAGE: Block Party
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Waiter
Objective: Land the blocks on the stage and keep them on there for three
           seconds!
Variations: 
    Level 1 - Four Blocks.
    Level 2 - Five Blocks.
    Level 3 - Six Blocks.
Strategy: Move the Wiimote left and right as the blocks fall, and position
          them side by side or on top of one another. Make sure there are no
          gaps so they are stable, and look ahead to make sure you can safely
          accommodate the next piece. Easiest way to play is to make them all
          straight and flat, as levels 2 and 3 have triangular pieces that need
          putting on.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Named after the band 'Bloc Party', surely? There is also a
             Minigame based on this once you have done it in the Character
             Mode.
