High Scores

Elite Scores hosts Wii Sports competition. The current World Champion is Veysey, who holds 5 of the game's 18 World Records. The main challenge is to achieve high scores on the game's Training Challenges. There are 3 Challenges for each of the game's 5 sports: Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Bowling, and Boxing. Records are also kept for the best complete game of bowling and golf, and for Wii Fitness, a daily test that combines 3 random training challenges.

High Score Strategies

Tennis

Returning Balls
Platinum Requirement - 100

• Don't forget to wash behind your ears!

Timing Your Swing
Platinum Requirement - 50

• Don't worry about backhanding; all shots are hit to your forehand.

Target Practice
Platinum Requirement - 40

• Use slow, weak shots so your Mii has time to get in position for the next hit.

Baseball

Hitting Home Runs
Platinum Requirement - 5650

• Swinging downwards makes your Mii swing for the fences.
• Careful, the last 2 pitches are fastballs.

Swing Control
Platinum Requirement - 66

• Scoring system: Dark blue area (10 points), light blue area (6 points), white area (3 points), hitting the ball on a non-colored area (1 point), not hitting the ball (0 points)
• You must be either really skillful or really lucky to score well here, there is no in between.

Batting Practice
Platinum Requirement - 30

• 1-10 pitches are always slow fast balls.
• 11-20 pitches are faster fastballs or curves.
• 21-30 pitches are really fast fastballs, curves, and screwballs.

Bowling

Picking Up Spares
Platinum Requirement - 20 (3 misses allowed)

• Never give up; trust your instincts.
• Master a non-spin throw since many lanes can be done with this throw.

Power Throws
Platinum Requirement - 700

• Hit the Secret Switch in the 10th to score the full 182 points easily.
• Secret Switch Technique - Turn 1 click to the right. Move all the way against the right wall. Throw a high-release straight ball. It will ride the rail all the way down and hit the red switch behind the pins.
  

Note: You can turn 1 click left and use the left rail if you're left-handed.

Spin Control
Platinum Requirement - 20 (5 misses allowed)

• No spin is required on nearly half the lanes... by throwing hard and releasing as high as possible, you can toss right over many of the nearest barriers.

Golf

Putting
Platinum Requirement - 10 (0 misses allowed)

• Pressing 2 gives you a closer view of the green.

Hitting the Green
Platinum Requirement - 55

• Use Iron for holes 9 and 10 and sometimes 6 if the holw is really far.
• Loose belt brings no pants.

Target Practice
Platinum Requirement - 800

• Line up all the way off the target when the crosswinds begin to approach 30mph.

Boxing

Working the Bag
Platinum Requirement - 40

• Use a flurry of quick, hard punches to take down the tough black bags.
• The whole round make hard but slow jabs to destroy grey bags with 2 punches, white bags with 4 and black bags with 6 punches.

Dodging
Platinum Requirement - 85

• Just twist the controls; it's faster than moving your hands from side to side.

Throwing Punches
Platinum Requirement - 70

• Don't throw out both hands at once to double punch; it makes you look silly.
• Take your time before "guessing" the next punch and always use soft but quick jabs.
