How to Play Wonder World Amusement Park, Part 1: Carnival Area
I feel in love with this rental game and for once actually played through the entire game. Wonder World Amusement Park has many mini games divided into five areas. The different games use the Wii remote and sometimes nunchuck in a variety of ways. I found it fun as a single player in Story Mode earning tickets and trying to unlock the other areas, purchase the prizes, and unlocking each area’s boss-like game. Below is Part 1 of a 5 part guide to be posted throughout the next week or so. It is organized by area the mini games are in and gives a brief look at how to play the different mini games along with some tips I have from my personal experience playing the game.
Part 1: Carnival Area
This is the area that you start with unlocked.
Games
Coconut Topple: This game is free to play. I find it to be one of the harder free to play games to earn tickets from and am thus glad you start with 100 in the Carnival area. In the game you use the Wii remote and nunchuck. You aim by using the joystick on the Wii remote to move around your cursor. You then make throwing motion with the Wii remote to throw baseballs at the coconuts. When you get rid of all the coconuts they refresh. I found they come off better if you aim low at them. Also, the gold ones do not stay gold long so be quick or ignore them as you can lose precious time trying to get them and missing. Also, it does take two hits to knock off a gold.
Ready Steady: This game costs 10 tickets to play. This one requires a very steady hand, as you try to keep the ring around the metal bar without it touching the bar. You use the Wii remote to aim and guide the ring along. When you hit the sides you have to press A to sync back up with the ring. At least it just stops where you hit the bar and it does not start over. If you reach the end before time runs out, then you move on to the next level. I think there are a total of three levels to work through, but I always run out of time on the second or third level.
Hook-a-Frog: This game costs 10 tickets. In this game you go fishing for frogs. You aim by moving the Wii remote around. When over a frog’s open mouth you press A to go down and try to catch it. Go for the frogs on lily pads that are moving across the back for higher points. Also, the golden frogs are worth more than the green ones.
Crack Shot: This game costs 50 tickets. In this game you aim with the Wii remote and shoot with the B button. The goal is to hit all the cans and bottles in a level. If you get them all, then you move on to the next level. I think there are four levels, but I always get stuck on the third.
Picture Perfect!: This game costs 25 tickets. This is a slider puzzle game. I stink at it, so cannot really give any tips on it. Basically you try to make the picture right by moving the tiles one by one into the open space until they are all back where they belong.
Rodent Riot: This game costs 25 tickets. This is a fun whacking game. You select the spot to hit using the joystick on the nunchuck. You then hit the rodents where they pop up by doing a whacking motion with the Wii remote. Hit the rodents with helmets for higher points. They do take two hits, though. If found this to be the easiest one to earn tickets from in the Carnival area.
Prizes
The prizes do not mean anything except for the passes for passes to the other areas. They do need to all be purchased, though, in order to unlock the area’s final game.
The prizes are Bubble Solution Receptacle (50 tickets), Spooky Zone Pass (100 tickets), Stuffed Icon of Excellence (50 tickets), Thumb Masher (25 tickets), Ambush Comedian (50 tickets), Kiddie’s Delight (25 tickets), Fairytale Zone Pass (100 tickets), Rod of Merriment (25 tickets), and Joyful Transport (200 tickets).
Final Game
Sky Cannon: In this game you are shot out of cannon and on your way to the bucket you have to do tricks to get through gates. If you fail to do the right trick, then the round ends. There are two rounds. There are four types of tricks. One is a star (press up arrow), one is a T (press down arrow), one is a ball (press A button), and one is a spin (press B button). I found it frustrating at first to keep the button and tricks straight, but after a few tries it sunk in. The timing for your move can be hard, but once you know to do it when your wake turns rainbow it becomes pretty easy. It is the landing in the bucket for the bonus 200 points at the end that I still am confused on.
Cool my friend and i played that game on her WII, I was not very good lol. I’m a PS2 and Xbox 360 player. I like the way the game is set up so you can unlock new games, but like I said I suck at it lol so my frind ended up playing most the night.
On the sky cannon you land in the bucket of water by pressing the B button. It will pop up at the bottom of the screen when it’s time. Also to unlock the rides you must purchase all the prizes with your tickets.
i have this game and me and my brother have been trying to figure out how could we go on the sky cannon game? and the other final games each park has?
You unlock the final games in each area of the park by purchasing all the prizes for the area.
