Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2/Minigames

During the game you will probably spot what look like enemies, but have no icon over their heads. These animals have escaped from the Zoo, and you can talk to them to play a Minigame.

Once you have beaten the animal at that minigame, you unlock the minigame in the minigames menu. From here you can play against a selected character (you can choose the breed) or against an opponent with a second in multiplayer mode.

Once you have got a request from Kenneth, the owner of the Zoo in South Pawville, to help fix the Zoo, the animals will start appearing in areas outside the village. Once you have beaten them, you can go to the Zoo and talk to the animals there to play minigames with them.

Flag Race
When you find the escaped Boar in the east of Jade Fields, he will challenge you to a Flag Race. You need to beat him to win.

In a Flag Race, you need to run to the flags in order and then across the finishing line. Flag one is always red, flag two is blue, etc. A coloured arrow will appear at the bottom of the screen and point you in the right direction, but that doesn't mean you can run in a straight line. There are cliffs that may stand in your way. You can jump across small gaps by running to the edge of them, but try not to go into the sand or you'll slow down! When you have gone through all the flags (in order) you need to run across the finishing line before your opponent!

Curling
A penguin in the Polar Fields will challenge you to a curling match. You need to get more points than him to win.

By using you can move your character left and right, and then you need to press  to start charging your shot. Press again to slide across the arena. Try and get as close to the fifty point zone as possible. Or at least try and stop somewhere on the ringed areas.

Some Wii versions of Catz have problems with this minigame, where you are not able to charge your shot, but can move left and right.
