(50/50) Yacht Sailing

Guide your monkey's yacht through treacherous waters and obstacles to reach the goal at the other side. Hazards include rocky sea stacks, whirlpools and sharks.

Tilt the Wii Remore for aiming your sail and hold A to lock in a direction. Shake the Wii remote then to blow air into your said and push your yacht forward.

My best time so far is 01'26"93.

(49/50) Whack-a-Mole

High above the blue ocean are moles on top of sea stacks. You must whack them with your hammer for points. There are blue ones that occasionally pop up worth extra points.

Thrusting and pulling the Wii Remote is for moving up and down and moving the cursor left and right is for sideways movement. When the cursor falls on a mole hole it locks momentarily, giving you the chance to do a hammering motion.

My highest score so far is 568.

(48/50) UFO Capture

Your monkey controls a UFO and you must capture the strange half egg looking creatures on the ground with your tractor beam. Thrusting and pulling the Wii Remote is for up and down movement, moving the cursor left and right is for sideways movement. Press the A button to beam up the creatures on the ground. Some of them are heavier so they take a while to beam up and the redder ones sometimes try to attack.

My highest score so far is 9,159.

(47/50) Trombone

Your monkey plays the trombone. Thrust and pull the Wii Remote to move the cursor to the different coloured notes and press the A button to play them when instructed. Takes some practice.

There are three songs to play here: FROG SONG, Stars and Butterfly which vary in difficulty and each have high scores to achieve depending on how well you play.

My highest scores so far are:

FROG SONG - 1,070
Stars - 1,670
Butterfly - 570

(46/50) Treasure Submarine

Explore slightly murky waters in search of treasure in your submarine. You can collect coins for points and big points come from buried treasure which your sonar can detect.

Tilting the Wii Remote in different directions steers your submarine. The B button is for driving forward and the A button is for using the crane arm to salvage any buried treasure. The UP and DOWN buttons are for rising and sinking the submarine to different depths.

My highest score here so far is 18,800.

(45/50) Spaceship Landing

Very similar to Lunar Lander but in 3D. You must use the tilting motions of the Wii Remote and the A button for thrusting to control the position and speed at which your ship may land on the target. Very quick game.

My highest score so far is 8,323.

(44/50) Space Monkey Attack

An arcade space ship shooter similar to the likes of Galaga or Phoenix. Tilt the Wii Remote left or right to move in those directions and press A or B to shoot. Not a bad shooter and it even has a boss battle. Unfortunately there's no turbo fire option.

My highest score so far is 2,780.

(43/50) Sling Shot

Use the giant sling shot to fire your Monkey Ball at the various targets. It uses the pointer for aiming and pulling back on the remote to stretch the catapult at various degrees while holding and releasing the A button for shooting.

My highest score so far is 670.

(42/50) Simon Says

On board a ship you must repeat what the instructor shows you to do with flags. Raise or lower the Wii Remote and Nunchuck depending on what the signal is.

My highest score so far is 4.

(41/50) Shepherd

On a farm you must get a dog to herd all the sheep into the barn. You use the pointer and a bone shaped cursor to guide the dog around and press A to let it bark and make the sheep run in that direction.

My highest score in this game so far is 1,081.

(40/50) Seesaw Ball

Your Monkey Ball appears at the top of a course and you must twist the Wii Remote to tilt the seesaw platforms left and right in order to guide it to the goal at the bottom safely.

There are 3 courses. The Easy course takes place above a blue ocean, the Normal course takes place above a desert and the Hard course takes place with volcanoes in the background.

Scoring depends on bananas collected, time taken to reach the goal and the colour of the spot you landed on at the goal, all added up.

My highest scores so far are:
Easy - 4,232
Normal - 5,519
Hard - 4,905

(39/50) Scoop the Goldfish

In this game you use a paper scoop to try and fish out as many goldfish into your cup as possible within 60 seconds.

Aim the pointer and thrust the Wii Remote to control the paper scoop and fish out the goldfish. When the paper scoop rips, press the A button to replace it. Be careful though, as you have a limited number of them.

My highest score so far is 7.

(38/50) Rock-Paper-Scissors Attack

Standing at opposite sides of a coffee table in a cosy living room, you face your opponent in a battle of rock-paper-scissors. The person who wins gets to bonk the other on the head with a toy hammer but the person who loses has a chance to defend themselves by using the bowl to block it.

Raising the Wii Remote is for doing the gestures, the buttons pressed determine if it's rock, paper or scissors. It's also for swinging the hammer. Raising the Nunchuck is for wearing the bowl.

The first to bonk the other on the head three times is the winner.

There's no high scoring in this game but I completed it.

(37/50) Ring Toss

A funfair style ring toss where you must hook thrown rings around poles. There's some jungle overgrowth around the area too. Use the pointer for aiming and hold the A button when you're ready to throw. Let go of the A button after the swing motion to throw.

Getting a ring around a pole gives you 100 points. You get a multiplier bonus for combos as well but diminishing returns if you hook it around the same pole.

My highest score so far is 550.

(36/50) Red Light, Green Light

Monkey Ball version of the popular playground game! Shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to move when the traffic light monkey has its back turned and hold still while they're looking at you. Very straightforward and fun. You win the game if you reach them first 3 times.

There's no high score for this game but I completed it.

(35/50) Racing Birds

Take control of a bird flying through rings while avoiding rocks and other obstacles. Steering is done with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck and it feels like a really good flight simulator. Shake them to make the bird flap higher and faster.

My highest score so far is 10,330

(34/50) Paraglider

You paraglide towards a target on an island. The wind can help push you and raise you. You press the Z and B buttons as well as do a motion for steering in that direction and both at the same time to slow down. That's as far as I know. I haven't been able to get used to the controls for this game so I can only get the paraglider to turn sometimes.

There are three modes. Target is just for landing on the target, Landing is for landing on the target as close to a specified time as possible and Checkpoint Race is for passing checkpoints before landing on the target.

My highest score so far in Target is 71.48ft.

I didn't get a score for the others yet and any high score I've gotten in Paraglider so far has been out of pure luck!

(33/50) Paper Sumo Fighter

You and your opponent engage in a sumo match not as yourselves, but yourselves in paper form. The idea is to hit the play area behind your paper self to move it forward and push the other player's paper self out of the ring.

With the Wii Remote, thrusting is for moving your hand up and down, left and right is with the pointer. The A button is used to hit the play area.

There's no high score table for this game but I completed it.

(32/50) Number Ball

Billiard balls are bouncing around the screen and you have to use the Wii Remote's pointer to pick as many of the indicated ones out as possible within the time limit of 2 minutes. Each ball gives you 100 points.

The two modes on offer are Normal where you start from 1 and count on towards 2, 3, 4 and so on and Random where the sequence is random. Pay attention to the number indicated!

My best scores so far are:
Normal - 4,000
Random - 3,000

(31/50) Monkeysmith

In this game you play as a monkey blacksmith with your hammer and your opponent is on the other side. When the onscreen LEFT, RIGHT or DOWN arrow appears you must swing the Wii Remote in that direction before your opponent does. You score points this way. The game is over when your life meter depletes.

My highest score for this game so far is 659.

(30/50) Monkey Wars

Very neat traditional first person shooter using the pointer for aiming and the Nunchuck analogue stick for moving around. B is for shooting while A is for jumping. There are three arenas, everyone has a life meter and there's a handy selection of items and vehicles to take advantage of like a tank and my favourite, the flying saucer.

The object of the game is to get as many points as possible.

My best scores on the three arenas so far are:

Jungle Attack - 6,100
Pyramid Maze - 12,730
Cosmofield - 5,050

(29/50) Monkey Target

Your monkey ball is shot out of a cannon and you have to use the opened halves to glide your way to the target. You also have an option ball that can score points the same way. There are three rounds to get the highest score possible. Not sure what the floating bananas are for.

My highest score so far is 410.

(28/50) Monkey Squash

Basic squash game where you try to be the first to get 6 points. Nunchuck is used for moving around and Wii Remote swinging is for hitting the ball. Nice and simple.

There's no high scoring but I completed the game.

(27/50) Monkey Snowboard

Race against other monkeys on snowboards down tracks in the snowy mountains while avoiding snowmen and picking up bananas for extra speed. Wii Remote is held in the regular style and twisting is for turning.

There are three tracks to choose from or to play Grand Prix style.

I haven't gotten the best times in any of the tracks yet.

(26/50) Monkey Race

You race against the other monkeys rolling around the 5 racetracks holding the Wii Remote NES style and turning it to steer, pressing 2 to accelerate and the 4 points on the D-Pad to use stored items. There doesn't seem to be rubber-banding AI so that's quite nice.

You can choose to race on all tracks Grand Prix style for rankings or on a single track. You can also do time trials for best times.

My best times so far are:

Island Road - 01'46"48; best lap - 00'19"99

Jungle Highway - 01'34"79; best lap - (haven't reached yet)

Sand Storm - 02'17"63; best lap - 00'44"53

Pirate Circuit - 02'51"51; best lap - 01'24"54

Fire Ball - 01'23"12; best lap - 00'24"60

(25/50) Monkey Golf

A more standard golf game than the earlier flying disc one with green grass and blue skies.

Use the pointer for aiming and holding the A or B buttons for hitting at different powers. Swing the Wii Remote to hit the ball. You have a choice from three different clubs for pitching, putting and driving. Wii Sports golf is easier to play due to it using the D-Pad for aiming.

You can aim for the best scores on the Full 18 holes, the first 9 holes or the latter 9 holes.

My best so far:
Full 9 Holes: none yet
First 9 Holes: 66
Last 9 Holes: none yet

(24/50) Monkey Fencing

A swashbuckling fencing game where you and your opponent meet on a long narrow platform set high above the Volcanic Pools stage from the main game. You must win 2 rounds against them.

The Nunchuck is used for moving forwards and backwards and the Wii Remote is used for thrusting and batting your opponent's thrust out of the way.

There's no high score table for this game but I completed it.

(23/50) Monkey Darts

A darts game indoors somewhere... maybe a Monkey Pub? In this game you use the Wii Remote like a dart and use the pointer and small, sharp thrusting motions. Hold the A button to make the dart appear and release to throw.

There are three modes of play:

-Count Up where you try to get the highest score possible within 8 rounds
-301 where you try to get exactly 301 within 10 rounds
-501 where you try to get exactly 501 within 15 rounds

Each round has three throws each. Count Up is the only one with a high score to obtain.

My highest score so far is 312.

(22/50) Monkey Boxer

First person boxing! It's just like Wii Sports boxing but you can move around the ring by tilting the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Try to knock your opponent over 3 times for a K.O.

There's no high score for this game but I completed it.

(21/50) Monkey Bowling

A standard bowling game with 10 pins. In this game you must aim with the pointer controls (instead of the D-Pad aiming in Wii Sports bowling) and do a motion for throwing the ball.

My highest score so far is 148

(20/50) Keepy Up

Using a baseball bat controlled with the pointer, you must keep bouncing the Monkey Ball in the air, getting extra points for combos. Get as many points as you can within 60 seconds. There are some nice volcanoes in the background.

My highest score so far is 590.

(19/50) Jump Rope

Taking place on the Monkey Island stage you jump rope by flicking the Wii Remote up. After every 10 jumps there's an applause and it gets a little bit more difficult.

My high score so far is 58.

(18/50) Jigsaw Puzzle

Three nice jigsaw puzzles for you to do. Use the pointer to pick up and place pieces with the A button and twist the Wii Remote to rotate pieces. The pieces slot into place nicely when you match them correctly. UP and DOWN on the D-Pad is used for zooming in and out.

Jungle Walk with some trees and blue skies is the Easy 12 piece one, Space Wars with AiAi in a space ship is the Normal 24 piece one and Monkey Carnival with the cast of monkeys all together is the hard 48 piece one.

My fastest times so far are:
Easy: 01'19"61
Normal: 03'02"68
Hard: 16'31"36

I haven't beaten the fastest time for hard yet.

(17/50) Hurdle Race

Race against 3 other opponents by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck while pressing B to jump over hurdles on the track. Short and straightforward!

My best time so far is 00'19"94

(16/50) Hovercraft Race

The third of the hovercraft games and we're in an ice arena again, this time trying to collect flags as quickly as possible. It's really tough to become any way confident of steering and momentum to perfect a drift enough to go for the best times. There are three difficulties: Easy with 8, Normal with 12 and Hard with 16 flags to collect.

My best times so far:
Easy: 00'39"33
Normal: 00'44"06
Hard: 00'57"86

(15/50) Hovercraft Battle

The second of the hovercraft games. In this one you're in an icy arena with three other monkeys and you must bump into the rears of your opponents to get as many points as you can within 3 minutes. Think of the bumper cars at the funfair, only with really slippery vehicles.

The driving controls are the same except now you also have a boost you can use by shaking the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, which costs points. There are also items that appear now and again where you can go for a chance to earn double points, speed up or freezing your opponents in place for a limited time.

My highest score so far is 3,069.

(14/50) Home Run Derby

Baseball batting practice where a pitching machine gives you 10 chances to hit the ball as far into the deep jungle as possible for the high score. Just do a swinging motion.

My highest score so far is 668.66ft.

(13/50) High Wire Act

Your character walks along a tightrope tied between the tops of three ship masts with the open ocean and surrounding islands in view. Tilting forward and backward is for walking and twisting is for balance. Try to keep the balancing pole even.

No high score table for this game but I completed it. The rope automatically shakes violently beyond the halfway point so stand still while it happens!

(12/50) Hammer Throw

While holding the A button, twirl the Wii Remote around and then let go of the button to throw. You have 5 chances to get a high score.

My highest score so far is 86.12m

(11/50) Fruit Basket

Standing under a falling fruit tree with a bouncy leaf, you must bounce the yellow bananas, red apples and purple grapes into their corresponding baskets by twisting and tilting the Wii Remote.

In the corner you have a counter indicating the number of mistakes you're allowed to make before the game is over. Fruit drops faster as the game progresses.

My highest score so far is 56.

(10/50) Frog Ball

Hop your way to the goal at the end of a desert themed level by aiming and flicking the Wii Remote upwards. Your character has special mechanical frog hopping legs attached to its ball.

There are cacti and trees that can get in the way as well as shifting sand and water but nothing's too much of a hindrance.

My best time so far is 00'55"21.

(09/50) Free Throw

Throw basketballs into one of five nets by aiming and flicking the Wii Remote. Sometimes the hoops flash for an opportunity to get bonus points. It all takes place in the beach arena.

My highest score so far is 200.

(08/50) Fish Catcher

A deep sea spear fishing game where you aim and thrust the Wii Remote in order to skew the red and blue fish as instructed. The aim is to try to get as many as you can within the time limit. Sometimes you have to skew two of each colour or one of each colour at a time.

Quite fun to play while holding the Wii Remote like a javelin. The intentionally blurry underwater graphics was a weird idea though.

My highest score so far is 16.

(07/50) Disk Golf

To play disk golf you use the pointer for aiming and then do throw motions, trying to get the flying disk into the hole in as few shots as possible. If you fail to get into the hole within 10 shots you have to give up and move on to the next hole.

There are 9 holes and 4 modes of play; one being playing the full 9 holes at once and the other three being mini-rounds of 3 holes each. The course has nice green grass and blue skies, similar to the Monkey Island world in the main game.

It can be quite tricky to get used to. Aiming high is risky because the disk flies off where you may not be able to predict as there's no wind indicator and getting stuck between trees or rocks can be a nightmare. It's a good idea to keep checking the map and the par for the more difficult holes to come up with a strategy.

My lowest scores so far:

Full 9 holes: 39
Holes 1-3: 11
Holes 4-6: 14
Holes 7-9: 14

(06/50) Dangerous Route

A top-down version of Monkey Ball where you race against the clock and have a choice between 3 courses — easy, normal and hard. The cursor determines the direction your character goes and how quickly. You can collect bananas for extra seconds. The objective is to reach the goal with the best time.

The first level is the easy course and has a nice birds eye view of Monkey Island. It's mostly about manoeuvring around bends. The second level is the normal course over a cloudy sky and introduces moving barriers. The third level is the hard course set in outer space and is quite long and dangerous with its barriers and moving platforms. There's good opportunities for short cuts so scout around!

My best times so far:

Level 1 — Easy: 01'32"10

Level 2 — Normal: 02'11"86

Level 3 — Hard: 03'01"86

(05/50) Bugs Balance

Using the pointer that appears onscreen as a stick, catch the falling bugs and build a stack of them as high as you can. You can turn the stick over and they won't fall off but watch out for the yellow ones that knock them all off and immediately end the game. Gets pretty difficult as the stack gets taller.

My highest score so far is 1.97 inches.

(04/50) Banana Thief

Use your poking stick to knock the thief monkeys off from stealing your bananas in this minute long endurance game. Thrust the Wii Remote upwards to poke with your stick, tilt it to the left or right to move in that direction and tilt it forward to avoid the monkey ball that occasionally appears to roll into you.

Points are scored from poking the monkeys and a bonus is added depending on remaining bananas if you last the full round.

My highest score so far is 5,400.

(03/50) Banana Catch

Bananas fall from the sky and you must catch as many as you can within 60 seconds. Avoid the bombs that reset your score and your opponents getting in your way.

To move around on the little beach arena you must push to and pull from the sensor bar in order to move up and down and the pointer is for moving left and right. Quite tricky to get used to!

My highest score so far is 42.

(02/50) Asteroid Crash

Pointer based asteroid shooting game where you have to stop them coming towards the screen. Level increases in difficulty as you go along. The red asteroids you have to shoot three times and the bananas you don't shoot.

My highest score so far is 16,750.

(01/50) Alien Attack

A survival game where you manoeuvre your hover spaceship away from oncoming alien attackers in an arena with an alien planet theme. This is all done with the motion controls and you'll be retreating a lot of the time, so be careful of your surroundings. It takes a good bit of practice.

Face the general direction of the aliens and the missiles you shoot at them will auto-aim to some degree. After a while, stronger aliens and UFOs will appear too. There are health replenishing and shield pickups now and again. The aim is to survive for 5 minutes and get the highest score possible.

My highest score so far: 16,000
