"Wii Fit" - An Introduction Trivia Quiz

Answer: All of these

While a significant number of activities only require usage of the Balance Board, some activities utilize the Wii Remote, and one activity requires attaching the Nunchuk to your Wii Remote. Additionally, there are some activities that don't require the use of any peripheral.

Answer: height

The "Wii Fit" system does a reasonably accurate job of calculating your body mass index, abbreviated as BMI, by inputting your height. While you are also asked to input your birth date, it isn't necessary for calculating your BMI. Basically, the formula for calculating your BMI is your weight divided by the square of your height.

The formula varies, depending on the units of measurement that you use.

Answer: Swimming

It might be possible to simulate some sort of swimming exercise, but it is not an activity, nor is it one of the training categories. The other category is a series of balance games, which can test your coordination, balance and stamina.

Answer: You lose three points.

As a line of players kick soccer balls toward you, you must "head" the soccer ball, in order to score points. Occasionally, the players will kick shoes and panda balls in your direction. Getting hit with a shoe will cost one point, but having the misfortune of being hit with a panda ball will cost three points.

Answer: You receive a four star rating.

For most of the activities and games, there is a scoring system based on your performance. You can earn a maximum of one hundred points on many of the activities. In addition to earning a four star rating, you are eligible to advance to a more difficult version of the activity. You may also receive trophies after at least twenty hours of activity.

Answer: gold

As you progress through the more than forty activities and games, you are able to unlock more vigorous and challenging activities. Once you accumulate forty hours of training time, your piggy bank transforms into a gold Fitpiggy.

Answer: jumping on it

Some activities require a sudden shift in weight, in order to achieve the desired effect. However, jumping on the board will abort the activity and potentially damage the board. Simply sitting on the board for three minutes is the object of one of the Balance Board games.

Answer: Your bubble will burst.

Running into the sides of the river maze will cause your bubble to burst, thus ending the game. A slight brush against an embankment will cause a slight flutter, but you may continue. There are also annoying bees hovering above you at certain points. If you dawdle, the bees with sting you and burst your bubble.

Answer: Yes

Yes, of course. The jogging activities prompt you to place the Wii Remote in your pocket and jog or run in place. However, you can simply wave the remote up and down, while sitting on the couch. Naturally, this doesn't improve your fitness, so there really isn't much point in cheating.

Answer: your own Mii character's face

Depending on how you are able to perform on two of the five available balance tests, you will be assigned a "Wii Fit" Age. There are eight different stamps, with which to stamp your calendar. Stamps are unlocked in the following order: 1) footprint - beginner, 2) OK stamp - two days, 3) star - four days, 4) heart - seven days, 5) flower - ten days, 6) the ubiquitous smiley face - fourteen days, 7) a clover - twenty-two days, and finally after thirty days, you may use a stamp of your Mii character's face.
