The Whole Family Stars
in its Own Electronic Board Game
Most video games require players to focus their attention on a screen. Now
Nintendo brings the action into the living room with Wii Party, a game that
changes the way people interact with other players. Featuring 13 different
party game modes and 70+ minigames, Wii Party can be enjoyed by
everyone in the family, regardless of age.

FEATURES:
• Some of the 13 different party game modes take the fun out of the TV and into the
living room. Players have to interact with one another in the real world to get the
results they want in the game. Some House Party games include:

▪ Players place four Wii Remote™ controllers on a table. Each one emits a
different animal noise. Players win the round by being the first to grab the
controller that is making the sound of the animal shown on the TV.

▪ Players use Wii Remote controllers to play hide and go seek. One player
asks the other players to leave the room and then hides all of the controllers
around the living room. When the other players return, they have to find them.

• Wii Party features Mii™ characters in minigames in which up to four people can play
together. Each player uses only the Wii Remote controller. Some of the party game
modes are cooperative, such as “Balance Boat.” Others are competitive, such as
“Board Game Island.”

• In Board Game Island mode, players help their Mii characters compete in more than
70 different minigames:

▪ Mii characters ride a rollercoaster while players try to shoot down floating
balloons containing gifts.

▪ Players use their Wii Remote

Fact Sheet

Come Out and Play – On Mario’s Turf
Four great sports make their move to the Mushroom Kingdom:
volleyball, basketball, ice hockey and dodgeball. All four are
included on one game disc – a great value for Mario™ fans,
sports fans and everyone in between.

FEATURES:
• The cast of Mushroom Kingdom characters get together to play sports –
Mario style. While the basic rules of the games apply, each one includes
some magical Mario twists like coins and special items that ramp up the
craziness and fun.

• While playing, gathering coins will build up bonus points. So when players
score a point or basket, they also get the added bonus.

• Players collect items like a Koopa Shell to use against their opponents. They
can even use special items to beat up on the other team while shooting or
spiking. One example of a special ball move is using a Mini Mushroom to
shrink the ball before it’s returned to the other side of the volleyball net.

• Each character has a signature move that’s almost impossible for opponents
to stop. These include Mario’s fireball moves or Princess Peach’s heart-filled
attacks.

• In the field of play, a variety of tricks will keep players on their toes. On DK
Dock, the volleyball court will continually slide from left to right. On Bowser
Jr. Blvd, the basketball court has bonus circles that frequently appear,
offering both positive and negative bonuses that result in extreme point
swings.

• In each sport, play with up to three players cooperatively or with up to four
players competitively in a two-on-two match.

Kirby Offers a New Take on String Theory
Kirby’s first console platform game since the Nintendo 64™ days
introduces an amazing new look based on animated yarn and a
world of cloth and textiles. The creative approach is woven
directly into the game play and allows the ever-morphing Kirby™
to take on a variety of new forms. It’s a one-of-a-kind platformer
that lets players explore high and low for hidden objects and fun
adventure

FEATURES:
• The look of the world is stunning, but it’s also interactive. Pulling on stray
threads might reveal hidden areas. When Kirby literally goes behind the
scenes, the virtual fabric warps and bends to show his location.

• Thanks to his versatile yarn composition, Kirby can take on a variety of forms
both in his common actions and when he transforms into powerful vehicles.
When Kirby dashes, he zips around as a car. In water, he turns into a
submarine. At times he can even transform into a massive robotic tank, a
UFO and other vehicles.

• Two players can play through the entire game together*.

• Gems and collectible items are scattered throughout the environments for
players to find.

Fact Sheet

A New Country for Old Friends
Controlled by a group of evil Tikis, the animals in Donkey Kong Island
have raided Donkey Kong’s Banana Hoard and stolen his stash of
bananas – and he understandably wants them back. Retro Studios
brings Donkey Kong™ back in a new side-scrolling adventure with
familiar characters and new levels that reignite the passion players had
for the Super NES™ original.

FEATURES:
• Retro Studios faithfully restores everything that made the original series great, from
barrel cannons to mine carts, and then builds on those elements with stunning
graphics and new layers of depth to the world and game play. The game offers the
traditional side-scrolling experience everyone loved, but with levels created in fully
rendered 3-D environments.

• Diddy Kong™ joins the quest. With his trusty backpack, he can produce a jet pack or
Peanut Pop Guns to give Donkey Kong more abilities.

• For the first time ever, the franchise features the ability for two people to play together
at the same time – one as Donkey Kong, one as Diddy Kong. Players can navigate
the levels separately or as one unit. Diddy Kong can ride on Donkey Kong’s back and
hop off whenever he pleases, allowing novice players to ride on Donkey Kong’s back
through more challenging areas of the game.*

• Hidden items, puzzle pieces and other surprises are found all through the jungle.
Spell out K-O-N-G by the end of each level to earn an extra bonus.

• Motion controls give players a real feeling of control. Players move Donkey Kong
using the Control Stick on the Nunchuk™ controller and can shake the Wii Remote™
controller to make Donkey Kong slap the ground.

• Vibrant colors, beautiful graphics and fun characters draw players in. Even people
who have never played a Donkey Kong game before can pick up a controller and
start collecting loads of bananas.

• Every level offers new fun and new challenges. Sometimes Donkey Kong is running
through the jungle, sometimes his action takes place on a tropical beach and other
times he must become a master of timing as he jumps chasms in a mine cart.
