Wakeboarding is one of the three water sports in Wii Sports Resort. The other water sports are Power Cruising and Canoeing. In Wakeboarding, the goal is to earn as many points as possible by jumping off the wake of the boat players are being dragged behind and performing various stunts. When they successfully land a jump, the boat will accelerate, making subsequent jumps higher and worth more points. More difficult courses become available as they progress through the activity; these include obstacles they must avoid.
Gameplay[]
Controls[]
The player must hold the Wii Remote sideways and grip it firmly with both hands. They should tilt the remote in either direction to turn; and tilt it farther to carve across the wake faster. Pulling up on the remote when the player go over the wake causes a jump and by twisting the remote around in the air, the player can perform tricks and stunts. To land safely, they need to be flat, so they must watch their wakeboard onscreen and adjust its level with the remote.
Quick tips[]
- Jumping over the wake is a great way to avoid the obstacles on the harder courses.
- If you see a buoy, make sure you're on the inside of it, otherwise your rope will wrap around it and send you into the drink.
- You'll earn more points by cutting faster across the wake.
