Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start with the standard 10-pin set.
  2. 2
    Subsequent sets add an extra line of pins at the back: 15 pins, then 21 pins, and so on.
  3. 3
    Utilize the buffers on each side of the lane; pins can bounce off them and return, making strikes easier.
  4. 4
    Aim for strikes to earn double points for that throw.
  5. 5
    For the standard game, throw the ball as hard as you can. Adapt your normal game strike method if you have one. A suggested method is to slightly offset your aim, position the Wii Remote to your side, pull back slightly, and push vertically upwards until the remote is above your head for a fast, straight throw.
  6. 6
    Early sets should yield strikes due to the buffers.
  7. 7
    The final set features 91 pins. To trigger the secret mechanism for this set, observe the red buttons on either side of the lane towards the end (best seen on replays).
  8. 8
    On the last set, the buffers align with these buttons. Throw the ball onto one of the buffer lines, guiding it towards the end to trigger the button and knock over all 91 pins.
  9. 9
    To attempt the 91-pin set secret: Move your character all the way to one side until you can't move further. Tap away once. Press and hold A, then rotate as far right as you can. Throw the ball with medium pace (a gentle arm swing) and significant spin. The spin should cause the ball to travel from right to left on the buffer, hopefully reaching the end.
  10. 10
    This secret is difficult to execute. Practice it on every set for a few games to master it.
  11. 11
    Achieving a strike on the 91-pin set will significantly boost your score, aiding in earning Gold and Platinum medals.
Tips
  • Experiment with your throwing technique to find what works best for generating speed and spin.
  • Focus on getting strikes, especially in the early sets, to maximize your score multiplier.
  • The 91-pin set secret requires precise positioning and throwing; don't get discouraged if it takes many attempts.
  • Consider practicing the 91-pin set secret on earlier, easier sets to get a feel for the ball's movement on the buffers.
