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 Finger Food
Hold the Wiimote on it's side between your thumb and finger, with the tip
still facing the screen. It's named because you pose like you would when
picking out finger food. Almost all of these involve you rotating the
Wiimote to the sides, like for unlocking doors with a key.
The Boxer
Hold the Wiimote in one hand to it's side, so it's facing to the left.
This is the same as The Dumbbell but facing the other way.
The Mortar and Pestle
Hold the Wiimote in your right hand vertically and hold the bottom with
your left. This is mostly so it's stablised and doesn't move the Wiimote
around, as an example microgame includes holding it like a joystick.

Microgames
==========
--------------
Boarder Patrol
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Unlock the door with the key!
Variations:
Level 1 - Turn the key 90 degrees.
Level 2 - Turn the key 180 degrees.
Level 3 - Turn the key 270 degrees.
Strategy: Roll the Wiimote around until the door is unlocked. For the later
stages hold it in two hands so you can keep rotating it until the
microgame has passed.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: People such as a gymnast, old thief and Hawaiian lady are behind
the door.
-------------
Slice Of Life
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Boxer
Objective: Rotate the manual shredder to shred the documents!
Variations:
Level 1 - Shred the paper.
Level 2 - Shred the pasta sheet.
Level 3 - Shred the block of ice.
Strategy: Facing the Wiimote left, rotate the Wiimote around toward and away
from you to operate the shredder and keep going until it's all
shredded up. The later stages have you shredding larger objects
but just keep it up until it's done.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: A goat eats the paper, the pasta turns into spag bol and the
block of ice turns into some sort of fishy meal.
-------------
Mixed Signals
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Move the arial to tune in the TV signal!
Variations:
Level 1 - Least adjustment.
Level 2 - Some adjustment.
Level 3 - Most adjustment.
Strategy: Move it quickly to see if it clears, then fiddle around that area
until it fully clears up. The later stages require you to be most
accurate, so find the area quickly so you can have more time to
fine turn the signal.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The images awaken or change once you get the signal, such as the
level two bird coming out of the screen.
-------------
Yes, You Can!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Open the can with the opener!
Variations:
Level 1 - Nearly open already.
Level 2 - Quarter open already.
Level 3 - Half open already.
Strategy: Yank the Wiimote toward you at a 45 degree angle and back again to
start opening the can. Later stages require you to do this several
times so just keep going.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Various paper objects fly out after completing it.
----------
The Intern
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Tidy up the stack of papers!
Variations:
Level 1 - A few sheets of paper.
Level 2 - A few books.
Level 3 - Half a shelf of books.
Strategy: Holding it vertical, bang the Wiimote up and down very straight into
your hand until it's properly straight will do it. If you shake it
too much you'll just make it more messy, so be firm and very
straight with it. It also helps if you wait a split second between
shuffles to let the paper settle, other wise you'll just mess it up
even more (thanks Gavin Seipelt).
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
----------
Stir Crazy
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Stir the solutions!
Variations:
Level 1 - Grind the herbs!
Level 2 - Whip the topping!
Level 3 - Stir the solution!
Strategy: Just move the Wiimote around in a large circle quickly to stir the
solutions. Later levels have larger containers so you have to be
faster to complete them in time.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
-----------------
Community Service
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Boxer
Objective: Clean up the objects!
Variations:
Level 1 - Clean the Cow.
Level 2 - Clean the Car.
Level 3 - Clean the Spaceship.
Strategy: Move the Wiimote up and down quickly to scrub away. It's not 1:1
movement so just shaking up and down is required. More is obviously
required for the later levels.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
----------
Local News
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Interview by keeping the microphone by their mouth!
Variations:
Level 1 - Interviewing a baseball player.
Level 2 - Interviewing a polar bear.
Level 3 - Interviewing an old lady.
Strategy: Keep pointing the microphone at their mouths until they finish
talking. When the text gets smaller you are getting further away
so readjust. The polar bear will turn his head to the left side
when talking so watch out for that, and keep up with the old ladies
movements.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The baseball player will sometimes dedicate his homerun to you. :)
The old ladies comment is also perhaps the funniest in the game,
I won't spoil it but it's priceless!
----------------
Get To The Point
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Sharpen the pencils!
Variations:
Level 1 - Manual Handheld Sharpener
Level 2 - Manual Machine Sharpener
Level 3 - Electric Sharpener
Strategy: For level 1, use the Finger Food position and spin the Wiimote
around to sharpen. For level 2, face the Wiimote toward the screen
and rotate it around in circles to use the lever. For level 3,
push the Wiimote toward the screen to insert it into the electric
sharpener.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
--------------
Mercury Rising
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Boxer
Objective: Shake the thermometer until the reading reaches zero!
Variations:
Level 1 - Low temperature.
Level 2 - Medium starting temperature.
Level 3 - High starting temperature.
Strategy: Shake the Wiimote to lower the temperature of the therometer.
Just keep shaking really hard for a few seconds and hold it still
to read it and if it hasn't gone down by then, shake and read again.
You need to finish by reading it, so regardless of how much you
done always read it by when the time runs down.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The bed ridden bloke will have one, two or three thermometers in
his mouth according to the level.
----
XYZ!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control / The Finger Food
Objective: Zip up!
Variations:
Level 1 - Vertical zip.
Level 2 - Horizontal zip.
Level 3 - Zig Zag Zip.
Strategy: Use the pointer to grab the zip and move across the screen to
complete it. Level 2 has you doing the Finger Food pose in order to
do it (otherwise it won't grab on) and level 3 has a zig zag zip,
where it's easy to let go when turning so take your time.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: You zip up a man in a panda suit, a boy's mouth and a scar on
Frankenstein's head.
--------
Spot On!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Hit the nail with the hammer!
Variations:
Level 1 - Small nail.
Level 2 - Medium sized nail.
Level 3 - Large nail.
Strategy: Raise and lower the Wiimote to hammer the nail into the wood.
You can get it done faster if you do it as straight as possible.
If you do it with small movements you can do it amazingly quick too.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
-------
Airhead
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Defend your goal against the pucks!
Variations:
Level 1 - Defend against one puck.
Level 2 - Defend against two pucks.
Level 3 - Score a goal.
Strategy: Using the Wiimote pointer, bat away the oncoming pucks. However hit
them away gently otherwise they will just rebound back at you really
quickly and make your job harder. The third level has you scoring
a goal with the puck, which isn't too tricky, just whack it hard
so if you do miss you can have another shot or two on the rebound.
Just don't score an own goal.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
------------
Cranky Robot
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Wind up the robot to power it up!
Variations:
Level 1 - One rotation.
Level 2 - Two rotations.
Level 3 - Three rotations.
Strategy: From facing left, spin the Wiimote round so faces right for one
rotation and quickly back again. Use two hands here so you can do
this quick enough to get all the rotations done in time.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
-------------
Sure, You Can
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Boxer
Objective: Hit the ninja with your shuriken!
Variations:
Level 1 - Slow moving ninja.
Level 2 - Quick moving ninja.
Level 3 - Fast moving ninja.
Strategy: Move the Wiimote toward the screen to throw a shuriken down the
middle of the trees. The ninja will jump from tree to tree getting
closer, around every half a second (level three is around quarter of
a second) so when he lands on a tree, throw one and you should hit
him when he next comes out.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The 'ninjas' are more bankers than anything. The title is also
a play on the word Shuriken.
-----------------
Burning Sensation
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Burn the germs with the magnifying glass!
Variations:
Level 1 - One germ.
Level 2 - Two germs.
Level 3 - Two germs on the wall.
Strategy: Controlling the magnifying glass with the pointer, hold it above
the germs so that the rays meet at where the germ is for the
most powerful and quickest burn. You can also tilt the Wiimote to
tilt the glass which is required for level three when the two
germs are on the wall.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
-------------------
Now You're Cooking!
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Turn on the cooker!
Variations:
Level 1 - One turn to light the cooker.
Level 2 - Two turns to light the cooker.
Level 3 - Three turns to light the cooker.
Strategy: With the Wiimote pointing toward the screen and facing left, rotate
it anticlockwise 45 degrees to turn the gas nob. As it's an old
cooker it requires multiple turns for it to actually work, so keep
turning back and forth until it comes on. Later levels require more
turns.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: Turning it on burns different things held above the cooker.
----------
Hit Parade
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Hit the enemies with the hammer!
Variations:
Level 1 - One enemy.
Level 2 - Two enemies.
Level 3 - Three enemies.
Strategy: With the Wiimote upright, you hit to down to the left right or
toward you to hit the hammer over the holes. When the enemies appear
whack them to take them down. The enemies increase for each level.
Remember that one hole will only have one enemy so on level three
once you have taken out two enemies, the other hole must have that
last enemy.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The Moles from Super Mario World pop out and give you a thumbs
up for completing this microgame.
---------
Litterbot
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Mortar and Pestle
Objective: Collect all the waste barrels!
Variations:
Level 1 - Three stationary barrels to collect.
Level 2 - Two stationary and one moving barrel to collect.
Level 3 - Two stationary and one moving barrel to collect, plus a van.
Strategy: With the Mortar and Pestle pose you use the Wiimote like a joystick
to control the robot, so approach the barrels in front of you to
pick them up. Levels two and three have barrels that are rolling
away (pick these up last anyway) and level three only has a van
heading across the area, which will knock you over if you touch it
so avoid!
Obstacles: Van (level three only).
Other notes: None.
----------
Stay Tuned
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Tune the guitars!
Variations:
Level 1 - Standard guitar.
Level 2 - Base guitar.
Level 3 - Squeeky guitar.
Strategy: Rotate the Wiimote to turn the peg to tune it. Watch the needle on
the graph as it will move up toward the centre, and keep adjusting
until it stays there. Keep it there for a few seconds to pass.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: None.
-----------------------------
BOSS STAGE: Produce Stand-Off
----------------------------------------
Pose: The Boxer
Objective: Have a sword fight with the vegetable bandit!
Variations:
Level 1 - Banana Bandit (with help arrows)
Level 2 - Strawberry Bandit
Level 3 - Blueberry Bandit
Strategy: Hold the Wiimote upright yet facing left to hold the sword up. In
first person you must defend against the on coming attacks and
then strike when the time is right. Just tilt the controller to the
sides to move the sword, as the enemy will come from either the left
right or centre. Whatever position of the screen they are in is the
position there attack will be, so just move your sword there in
preperation. Later levels won't have help arrows and you'll need
fast reactions. Eventually the swords will clash and you'll be told
to Push! to push toward the screen to knock them back and
slash vertically at the screen to end the battle.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: I think the third one is the blueberry bandit, couldn't quite make
out what fruit it was. One of the funniest boss battles.
