This page needs images of controls for the Wii from the controller buttons category to make learning the controls easier. If a set of controller button images is available for this system, please add them. If a set of controller images isn't available, it might need to be brought up on StrategyWiki:Staff lounge.

Template:All Game Nav Bowling is fairly simple to pick up.

Controls

Use the D-Pad to aim left or right. Press A button to switch between moving left and right to facing left or right. When you are happy with your aim bring the Wii remote up to you then hold B button and swing back, then swing forward releasing B button when the controller is facing down to release the ball.

Spin

Spin can be put on the ball by tilting the controller on or before release.

By using Neutral dpad the directional buttons before swinging the wii-mote to bowl, you can move your character along the foul line. Pressing A button, then using the directional buttons can make your character aim their ball to the sides. Once again, experiment, and try the training exercises.

The sooner you let go of the B button the more spin you will put on. For example if you wait for your mii to raise the arm upwards before releasing B button then you will throw the ball and not get much spin on. However if you release B button when your Mii's arm is near the ground then you will get a lot of spin on it.

Strike

A popular technique for getting a strike is to position your Mii so as to be 3/4 of the lane to the right (assuming you're right handed, reverse if you are left handed) and angle the path of your ball left so that it will strike the first pin. When you throw the ball make sure to release it a tad late so as to avoid too much spin and this should hopefully result in a strike. Vary said technique based on personal preference.

Unlock

Become a pro at the game then you will get a shiny bowling ball to play with.

Other

If you get your aim and throw correct then you can get your bowling ball into other players' lanes.
