Pose: The Remote Control / The Umbrella
Objective: Copy the Wiimote positions shown on screen.
Variations:
Level 1 - Two positions.
Level 2 - Three positions.
Level 3 - Three vertical positions.
Strategy: Copy the 3D positions of the Wiimote in order. From either the Remote
Control or Umbrella (flat or vertical) just rotate or flip the
remote in sequence; you can see the next one ahead so once you have
performed the current one you can quickly do the next one to speed up
proceedings. Only level three starts off from The Umbrella.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: If you pass then the Wiimote will join an army of Wii consoles!
--------------------
Super Mario Brothers
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Umbrella
Objective: Collect two coins!
Variations:
Level 1 - Standing Super Mario.
Level 2 - Running Super Mario.
Level 3 - Running Normal Mario with Obstacles.
Strategy: Jump up with the Wiimote by jerking upward to hit the ? blocks and
get coins. You just need two to pass each one. The second and third
levels have Mario moving across the stage, so time you jumps to hit
the ? blocks amongst the rest of the normal bricks. Level three
has you controlling normal 'small' Mario, plus you have to dodge
Goombas and pits.
Obstacles: Goombas and Pits (Level Three Only).
Other notes: From Super Mario Bros. (1987, NES)

Pose: The Finger Food
Objective: Don't concede a goal!
Variations:
Level 1 - Small goals.
Level 2 - Screen wide goals.
Level 3 - Wall in the centre.
Strategy: With the Wiimote sideways pointing at the screen, turn it like a
nob to make the bat go up and down the screen. Make sure you hit the
ball otherwise you'll conceed a goal. For level two the goal is
screen wide and for level three there is a gappy wall in the centre
which can make the ball come back to you, so stay on your toes.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: From Light Tennis (Colour TV - Game 6, 1977)

Animal Crossing
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control

land the fish. The later levels have you waiting a bit longer but
just hold on until that splash before you reel them in.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: A variety of fish can be caught. From Animal Crossing: Wide World
(Nintendo DS, 2006).

Opening Night
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Remote Control
Objective: Conduct the orchestra to finish the song!
Variations:
Level 1 - Three players (songs two measures long).
Level 2 - Five players (songs four measures long)
Level 3 - Seven players (songs four measures long).
Strategy: Wave the Wiimote like a baton in front of the screen to make them
play. Keep pointing toward the screen and wave back and forth
gentally; if you break to early then they will stop so go back and
continue. You'll have to do it a bit faster in the later levels.
Heffenfeffer has some great tips for this microgame -
"As a former band geek, even I had trouble with this one until I
figured out the tricks. I can't imagine how folks with no band or
orchestra experience would feel.
First off, all the songs are in 4/4 time, so they're all conducted
the same way.
Secondly, the length of the song depends on the level (see above).
Third, to conduct, follow this pattern:
4 <^
2 < 1 > 3
v
That is, swing down on beat 1, left on beat 2, right on beat 3, and
left and up on beat 4 (so that you're above center and can swing down
for beat 1 again.)"
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: The initial three playing are Mario, Luigi and Link, then
Toad and Kid Icarus join in, and finally Peach and DK all in NES
graphics. The songs are as follows (thanks to Heffenfeffer again
for these) -
Level 1:"How high can you get?" theme from Donkey Kong, Boss
defeated fanfare from Super Mario Bros. 3, Death theme from
Super Mario Bros. 3, "You got a card" fanfare from Super Mario
Bros. 3, Super Mario Bros. 1 theme/death medley, Theme #2 from
Super Mario Bros. 3.
Level 2: I don't recognize any of these. (Matt - Tetris?)
Level 3: Theme from Clu Clu Land, Super Mario Bros. 1 "Thank you,
but our princess is in another castle!" fanfare, Theme from The
Legend of Zelda, Theme from Kid Icarus."
------------------
WarioWare Twisted!

Pose: The Chauffeur
Objective: Rotate the Wiimote like you would when playing Twisted! on the
Game Boy Advance!
Variations:
Level 1 - Gobble!
Level 2 - Shave!
Level 3 - Flip!
Strategy: For level one, move it left and right twice to make the arm pick up
and eat the kittens. For level two, rotate it round each side of the
face to get rid of the man's stubble. Finally for level three,
turn the Wiimote upside down to make his hat fall off.
Obstacles: None.
Other notes: From WarioWare Twisted! (GameBoy Advance, 2004). On level 3
(Flip! the hat off) if you flip back to normal position the hat
will come back down and through the GBA! Thanks to Heffenfeffer
for this piece of trivia.

Level 3 - Sparkballs, fish and other Balloon Fighters as obstacles.

avoid the fish, and in level three with the other Balloon Fighter
avoid touching him apart from his balloon, which you can pop if you
wish.

BOSS STAGE: Starwing
-----------------------------------------
Pose: The Chauffeur
Objective: Play stages from Starwing; head through the stage and defeat the
boss!
Variations:
Level 1 - Planet Corneria.
Level 2 - Outer space level.
Level 3 - Ice Planet.
Strategy: To play, hold the Wiimote with the pointer facing left and tilt it
from side to side to move left and right, and up and down to
more up and down (simple eh?) as well as either A or B to shoot.
Level One has you going through the opening planet of Starwing,
Corneria, so just dodge the buildings and keep shooting to take down
enemies (just so they are out of the way but just aim to get to the
end of the stage). The boss is none other than R.O.B with a NES
Zapper! Wait until he stops shooting and shoot at the green block
to his side until he is destroyed.
Level Two is in outer space, where you must dodge plenty of
crosses and lines in order to reach the boss. Stick to one of the
extreme sides of corners is easiest as there is minimal obstacles
but you still need to move now and again, and only go after enemies
if they are in your way. The boss is R.O.B again with this time with
a red and green block; just take your time and stay low to avoid
his shots. The blocks will turn grey after a while where you cannot
shoot them so just wait until they are flashing colours again before
having another pop.
Level Three is at an ice planet, where you have giant ice blocks
in your path. Stay at the top of the screen as they thin out toward
the top and make it easier to get through. The enemies are a bit
tougher too, with flyers appearing in the passages and tall walkers
in the way (you can shoot the flashing diamond several times to kill
them but it's far easier just to ignore). After a long ish stage,
R.O.B comes back one last time with four blocks (yellow and blue at
the back now) so dodge his shots until they become active (stay low)
and then let rip.
Obstacles: Enemies, buildings and blocks.
Other notes: From Starwing (SNES, 1993). Note this is called Starwing in the
UK due to copyright reasons, so in the US and Japanese versions
this is probably called Star Fox.
