Wii Play is a game consisting of nine smaller mini-games, each of which can be played in single-player or in versus mode with two players going head to head.
In the Tanks! minigame the player pilots a tank from a top-down perspective. In the single-player mode, the player has a total of 100 levels to be played with increasing difficulties of enemies.

Another mini-game in Wii Play was Shooting Range. In this game discs would be thrown through the air and players would have to aim and shoot these discs out of the air.
Find Mii was a minigame in which players had to find certain Mii out of a crowd based on some sort of characteristic. Such as finding the two matching Mii, locating the fastest-moving character, etc. Choosing the incorrect Mii would reduce the time left on the timer
WarioWare is a game which is a collection of **microgames**. Each of these microgames consists of a simple one or two-word instruction such as **dodge**, **collect**, **spar**, **grab**. These instructions give an idea about how the user should play the game without being a tutorial or giving away a solution.

WarioWare includes 9 stages with 210 total microgames. Stages are unlocked by beating previous stages boss levels. The boss levels are a microgame unique to each level that is more complex than the others.
Wii Party is a solo and local muptiplayer multiplayer where the player chooses Party Games, Pair Games, House Party and Minigame Modes. Party Games are games of up to 4 people, where advancing is done through playing and beating other players/AI in minigames. Pair Games are minigames of pairs, working with against against the other player. Houser Party is minigames that are played in real life, sometimes with actions from the TV. Minigame Modes is a collection of side modes including all minigames and solo modes.
Undertale is a role-playing game developed by Toby Fox. Of interest here is Undertales unique fighting system. These fights are turn-based, with the player making some action and then having to dodge enemy attacks in a bullet hell mini-game.

The size, speed, difficulty, and other variations depend on the enemy type the player is currently fighting.
The player will be met with a map in which to advance they will have to complete a series of minigames. The player will have a multitude of hearts which will allow them to atttemmpt a minigame several times before failing and losing the overall game. Sometimes the player will be able to choose which path to take which will lead to different minigames.
Some minigames will be solo and time based while other minigames will be against AIs. It's possible in the future for this to become multiplayer but not in the scope right now.
