Easter Egg: Phases of the Moon
The phases of the moon in Wii Sports Resort are accurate and reflect the real moon phases you can see at night. You can see the Wii Sports Resort moon during events like Island Flyover and Archery (at night).
Unlockable: Basket Bike for Cycling
Once you've attained Pro status in the Cycling, you can hold down 1 when choosing you Mii to use a 'basket bike.' The 'basket bike' either has a picture of a pizza or some flowers on it depending on your Mii's gender.
Hint: 100-Pin Game Bumper Trick
In bowling's 100-Pin Game, if you can toss the ball onto the blue bumper just right and make it travel all the way to the end, it will hit a switch and knock down all the pins. To do this, release the ball late on Manual to toss the ball into the air. Angle it towards the bumper with some spin to keep it on track.
Hint: Facing the Champions
In some events you can face an island champion for a stamp. Once you turn Pro in many of the sports, at an event score of 1000, you won't face champions right away. For most of the sports you must get your level to right around 1500 to face the champions and thus get your stamps.
Hint: Bowling Ball Colors
To change the boring blue color of your ball to something more flashy, hold a direction on the directional pad at the Bowling loading screen. The following directions correspond to colors:
Down - Green Bowling Ball
Left - Red Bowling Ball
Right - Gold Bowling Ball
You can also unlock a bowling ball covered in stars for each bowling event by attaining Pro Level (1000 points).
Hint: Island Flyover Flare
To find Miguel's plane in Island Flyover, press 1 to send up a flare. He'll answer with his own, making it easier to find him. Follow him and he'll show you the way to many i Points.
Hint: Color Coded Wakeboarding Obstacles
In Wakeboarding, note the color of the left and right buoys at the beginning. The color buoy on the left will always be to the left side of the boat when you pass it and vice-versa.
Easter Egg: The Sounds of Super Mario
Swoop down near the circle of cabins outside of the town on the south side of the island to hear the distinct strains of a Super Mario Bros. game being played. That's how we'd spend our time at a tropical island resort as well!
Easter Egg: Video Game Sounds
1. At the begining of cycling when the numbers are going down, you can hear the same sound from the Mario Kart games when those numbers are going down.
2. When you fall off of a cliff in Cycling mode, you can hear the same sound from when you fall off a cliff in Mario Kark 64.
3. During 3-point contest (basketball), you may possible hear a "Wa-ha!" which sounds similar to the "wa- ha!" Mario says in Super Mario 64 after a Triple Jump.
4. In bowling when you zoom in you can hear the sound when you bring up the menu in Animal Crossing. (This is also in Wii Sports)
