Gameplay

In Wii Sports, there is a total number of five sports: tennis, baseball, bowling, golf, and boxing, in which players, as their Mii character, use the Wii Remote (or Nunchuck) to simulate playing the actual versions of the sports. In tennis, players use the Wii Remote to swing their character's racket. In baseball, players pitch and swing by performing said actions with the remote. In bowling, players swing the remote like a bowling ball to play. While playing golf, players swing their Wii Remote like a golf club. Finally, in boxing, players must making punching and guarding motions with both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to play.

In playing these games, players are rewarded or deducted skill points based upon their performance relative to their computer opponent. Increasing one's skill points earns the player several aesthetic features, such as a larger crowd for boxing and tennis, and a new outfit and ball for bowling.

In addition to the main sports, players can also play various challenges based on each sport. Players can also take a daily fitness test, which judges the player's "fitness age" based on their performance in three randomly-selected challenges.
