Learn how to master the art of picking up spares in Wii Sports Bowling with our detailed guide. Includes step-by-step walkthroughs for each stage to help you achieve a perfect game.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Stage 1: Throw straight on. Keep your arm straight and release late to minimize spin. For right-handers, move slightly right; for left-handers, slightly left, to compensate for spin.
  2. 2
    Stage 2: Stand in your current position and throw straight to hit both pins. Alternatively, line yourself up and throw so the ball physically knocks both over.
  3. 3
    Stage 3: Position yourself right and aim for the 6 pin. If you naturally spin the ball, adjust your position so the ball hits all three pins (9, 0, and 6).
  4. 4
    Stage 4: Line up with the 2 pin so the ball touches all four pins (8, 4, 5, and 2) on its way down. Speed is not critical; keep the throw straight and narrow.
  5. 5
    Stage 5: Aim for the 3 pin so the ball clashes with the sides of the 1 and 6 pins. Press Up to zoom in and ensure you hit all three pins (1, 3, and 6).
  6. 6
    Stage 6: Aim to hit the left side of the 1 pin and the right side of the 8 pin. The ball should clip all three pins (8, 3, and 1). Throw at a slow to medium pace to prevent the ball from bouncing off and missing the 8 pin.
  7. 7
    Stage 7: Line up with the pins and throw straight at a slow to medium pace. A faster throw might cause the ball to bounce off the 2 pin and miss the 8 pin.
  8. 8
    Stage 8: Position yourself on the far right and rotate left to face the pins. Aim at the 2 pin, just enough to clip the 1 pin. The ball or the 2 and 4 pins should clear the rest.
  9. 9
    Stage 9: Throw the ball between the 2 and 1 pins at a slow pace. The ball should clip all pins except the 4, which the 2 pin will knock over. A fast throw might cause it to miss the 4 pin.
  10. 10
    Stage 10: Zoom in. (The rest of the instructions for Stage 10 are cut off in the source text.)
