The intention of the Nuyus is that you’ll use them in the same way as Miis: create them in-game, then use them in future Kidz Sports titles, or put them onto your remote and take them to a friend’s house. Basically, these are the Kidz Sports series’ take on Miis we’re not sure why they didn’t just, y’know, integrate Miis, but that’s by the by. Ultimately we felt that the arcade set up was the best as it is difficult to judge the power of shots when using the simulation mode.Īside the game itself, an interesting feature is that of Nuyus. Both options are very sensitive in the movement that they pick up, perhaps even slightly more so than Wii Sports Golf, but sadly taking shots quickly isn’t an option if you want to remain accurate, as there is a slight lag between your movement and the adjustment on the power metre, meaning if you do it too quickly you won’t actually hit the ball with the power that you wanted. Simulation is the same except you follow through with the shot you pull back, hit A, retain the same angle as best you can and swing forward. The arcade setting has you tapping A when you’re ready, pulling the Wii remote back, golf club style, to set your power, and finally taking your shot by just tapping B with no swing. Both have you holding the remote pointing down like a golf club, face buttons outward, with the d-pad’s left and right controlling aim, with camera duties being afforded to up and down. You’ve got two options of control scheme in there as well: arcade and simulation. The course design is suitably ‘crazy’, starting out with simple angled courses to get you into the swing of things, but soon the devious loops and twists start to come out for the real challenge plus, it’s set in places like an island resort or the arctic, so you just know it warrants the first part of its title.

It’s not going to appear in lists of peoples’ recommended games, but if you’ve got nothing else about you’re at least not going to rip your own face off rather than play it.Ĭrazy Mini Golf is set over four worlds, each with an 18 hole course, and the title tells you all you really need to know about your objectives. However, it manages to be a cut above its brothers and sisters in actually providing a game that is, if you can ignore the woeful presentation, pretty decent. Kidz Sports: Crazy Mini Golf (henceforth to be referred to as ‘Crazy Mini Golf’) is a member of this series, so it would be quite fair to be wary.

The Popcorn Arcade series of games that have been tipped out all over Wii have been of dubious quality, to say the least cheap cash-ins would be an easy category to lump them into, if we’re being nice.
