Is it your absolute dream to get 12 Strikes in a row on Wii Sports Bowling? It may sound difficult, but it has been done. This article will show you how to get an easy strike. A strike is not guaranteed, but it's worth a shot (please note that these instructions are for right-handed use. Just reverse the instructions if you are left-handed).
Steps
-
Press right on the D-pad on the Wii remote (Be sure that you have move as opposed to turn selected) to move right.
-
Get the red guideline that pops up when you are moving your Mii in line with the two last notches on the bowling alley floor (These notches are slightly closer together than the rest).Advertisement
-
Press and hold 'b' and roll the 'ball' as hard as you can.[1]
-
Release it when your arm is pointing straight down, so that the ball will roll along the alley, and won't hop when you release it. If done correctly, the ball will then curve, and crash directly into the first pin. You should get a strike.[2]
-
Another way to get a lot of strikes is to keep swinging your arm with the B button down, until your Mii gets to the start of the lane. Let go just as the arm swings up.[3]
- Hold and swing the wii remote as instructed.
- Do not release the button. Before doing so, swing it back, and then swing it forward again, and then release the button. This makes the shot straighter, and usually results in you getting a strike. You can also swing so you get a fast throw that goes across the ground normally.
- Do not twist your wrist unnaturally.
- If it spins too much, move your mii closer to the side that you bowl from best.
- Practice until it spins just the right amount to hit the front pin.[4]

QuestionHow do I get closer to the pins?Community AnswerYou can't physically get closer to the pins, but you can hit the forward arrow to zoom.
-
QuestionWhat am I doing wrong if it looks like my ball is going straight, but one pin is always left standing?Community AnswerThe ball should not be going straight. It should go slightly to the right or left of the number one pin, depending on whether you are bowling right-handed or left-handed.
-
QuestionWhen I'm trying to hit a split, why does the ball always spin the opposite direction?Community AnswerWhen playing Wii Bowling, the way your hand is tilted affects the direction the ball will be inclined towards.
Tips
-
Keep practicing at this, as it is possible.Thanks
-
These instructions still work when done the opposite way (so moving to the last two left notches, etc.), with either hand. But this is recommended for the right so the left won't work so well.Thanks
Warnings
- When bowling the ball, make sure you have the wrist strap on. If you bowl with all your might and let go of the Wii Remote accidentally, you are likely to break your TV and the Wii remote.Thanks
