Introduction

Game Summary

A collection of mini-game levels which the user progresses through until the finish

Inspiration / Research

Wii Play

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 top-down. 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's out of a crowd based on some sort of characteristic. Such as find the two matching mii's, locating the fastest moving character, etc. Choosing the incorrect mii would reduce the time left on the timer
