Biking

Kurt cycling in Wii Sports Resort.

Cycling is one of the 12 games available to play in Wii Sports Resort. The main gameplay mechanic is the alternate movement of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, up and down to accelerate, and turning the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to steer. The player has three hearts, indicating their energy, and if they lose all their hearts, they have to take a break, leaving them unable to pedal briefly.

Road Race[]

20200503 073459

Gabriele and Alisha about to race in the Road Race on a tandem bike.

Road Race consists of your Mii racing in a single race, a three-stage race, or a six-stage race, throughout different parts of the island.

The 1-stage races starts off with you being in 30th place (last place), the 3-stage races with you in 50th place, and the 6-stage race with you in 100th place. Your goal is to overtake cyclists in front of you to make it to the first position.

When playing the 3-stage races and the 6-stage race, the position achieved from the previous stage is brought forward. (Example: If you finished the previous stage in 17th place, you will start the next stage in 17th place again.)

During the race, Vincenzo gives you advice, while James makes sure you start at the right time. As a result, neither of them are seen as opponents in the race. Because of this, a Nintendo-generated Mii is used in 99th place in the 6-stage race.

James is the referee in Cycling.

You can have two players in this mode, where they uniquely share a tandem bike, and both players get their own hearts, making a total of six. These are the only changes for two-player mode.

VS[]

20200503 072352

Stéphanie and Miguel are about to go against each other in VS.

VS requires exactly two human players to play this. They entail, along with a few random CPU Miis, once again excluding James and Vincenzo (despite that he does not advise on this mode), racing each other to the finish line across Wuhu Island.

There are the same 6 courses around Wuhu Island in total. When racing, the players are joined by 3 other random CPU Miis. These CPUs tend to be balanced in skill level, (For example, when Anna is racing alongside the players, she will most likely be joined by Pablo and Naomi because they balance out her skill level.) While this may not be exactly accurate, it is a rough idea of how the VS system works.

The race ends in an instant when one of the two human players gets to the finish line, and that player wins, even if a CPU Mii finished before them.

Tips[]

  • If you press up, down, left, or right on the D-pad, you can change views.
  • By swinging both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk up at the same time, your Mii will begin to do a wheelie.
  • By swinging both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to the side, your Mii will begin to drift/power slide. If you boost just before a turn, you can potentially cut off most of a turn or corner, although it does run the risk of crashing into a wall if done too early.
  • You can initiate a wheelie during a drift and vice versa.
  • Sometimes there will be a banana peel, rock, or a small oil spill in the middle of the path. Make sure you avoid them at all costs!

Quotes (from Vincenzo)[]

General[]

  • "You're running out of breath! Don't overdo it!" (when the player is down to one heart)
  • "Try to ride behind the cyclist in front of you to draft them."
  • "That's it! Save energy by drafting behind the cyclist in front of you!"

  • "Nice job!" (finish)

Around the Island[]

  • "Watch out for the strong crosswind as you get out of the tunnel!"
  • "There's a long, winding hill up ahead. Keep your energy up!"
  • "There's a strong crosswind blowing out to the sea. Be careful!"

To the Beach[]

  • "There's a sharp turn up ahead. Press B or Z to slow down."
  • "The course goes over a small cliff up ahead. Don't worry—keep riding!"
  • "There's a strong tailwind pushing you along. Nice to have a break, eh?"

Across the Bridge[]

  • "There's a series of small turns up ahead. Steer carefully."
  • "This is Heartbreak Peak! It can live up to its name, so take it easy!"
  • "Sharp turn to the left! Press B and Z together to hit the brakes!"

Over Talon Rock[]

  • "Talon Rock is just around the corner! Don't hesitate—just ride straight off!"
  • "If you take this right turn carefully, you can do it without braking."
  • "There are more hills ahead. There's a ways to go, so save your energy."

  • "You're entering the town. Is anyone you know cheering for you?"
  • "Behind the waterfall is a long, uphill tunnel. Save your energy!"

Into Maka Wuhu[]

  • "It's still a little way up the hill."
  • "You're inside the volcano! Good thing those barriers are there."
  • "It's all downhill from here. Use your brakes to control your speed!"
  • "There's a sharp turn just after the bridge. Don't be caught off guard!"
  • "Turn right and cross the small bridge across the river. Don't fall off!"

Stamps[]

Last Gasp[]

Description[]

Finish a race when you're out of breath.

This doesn't deserve much in the way of congratulations, but oh well...

First of Many[]

Description[]

Finish a race in 1st place for the first time to get this stamp.

It doesn't matter which race you do it on.

1-Stage Master[]

Description[]

Finish all 1-stage races in first place.

3-Stage Master[]

Description[]

Finish both 3-stage races in first place.

You only have to finish first in the last stage for both.

6-Stage Master[]

Description[]

Finish the 6-Stage race in first place.

Like the 3-stage races, you only have to finish first on the last stage, so you can work your way to the front gradually.

Trivia[]

  • Occasionally, during any random race (not in VS. mode), some CPU Miis may have a pizza box on the back of their bike.
  • The start of the next race is the end of the one before it. (e.g.: The start of To the Beach is the end of Around the Island).
  • When the player has one heart, the background music changes from a smooth (legato) style to a short (staccato) style.
  • The street in Around the Island and Over Talon Rock has the name of the players written on it.

    VS. (It says Misaki VS. Hiromasa)

    20200503 075427

    Two player Road Race (It says Holly Giovanna)

    20200503 074731

    Single Player Road Race (It says Miyu)

  • This is the only sport where Miis may appear in different positions than usual (Alisha may appear in 1st, Midori may appear in 49th or Anna may appear in 5th).
  • This is the only sport to have a randomly generated Mii as an opponent, but only in the 6-stage race.
  • When Vincenzo says "Almost there!" or "You're almost there!", the music changes, and becomes more harmonic.
  • Sometimes, when the player gets near 1st place, somebody other than Anna will be in 1st place (Ian, Tomoko, Alisha, Fritz, Miguel, etc.).
  • On the 1-Stage Race (30 cyclists), you mostly go against Miis in PRO Class, but there are times when some Miis that aren't marked as PROs will appear (Ryan, Midori, Gabriele, etc.). This could possibly say that they may be sometimes PRO, but there is no actual confirmation of it.
Eduardocoach

Proof of Eduardo being the Cycling Coach and 4-player Road Race.

  • In a leaked design document, a picture of Eduardo is the Cycling Coach. This could mean that Eduardo was planned to be the original Cycling Coach, but it was changed to Vincenzo.
    • There are also 4 Miis on the bike, which could mean that there was originally going to be a 4-player option for Road Race, but is unknown.
