Does anyone remember hearing the faint Mario music that sometimes plays when you fly over some of the houses in Island Flyover? I feel like it deserved to be on this iceberg
YES ME TOO, IMAGINE IT COULD EVEN HAVE A STORY OR SOMETHING AND YOU LIVE IN DIFFERENT PLACES AROUND THE ISLAND, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY DREAM AFTER I PLAYED WII SPORTS RESORT AS A CHILD XD (i genuinely have a lot of ideas for such a game since i love wii sports resort and hope so goddamn much they do it at some point)
@@molIymawk It does! the heavier the ball, it takes much more force to use (induce front/back spin, or throwing a curve) than the lighter ball. the heavier ball stands a greater chance of keeping its course, wheras the lighter the ball, it can bounce off pins without knocking them over. just as in real bowling, the physics are almost perfect.
i will forever remember this game because one time during bowling my dad forgot to put on his wrist strap on and the wii remote flew from his hand and broke our tv
as much as the actual game trivia is fascinating, I don’t think “a youtuber made a video about it” is something that goes on an iceberg, especially not this frequently.
That's a fair criticism, and I appreciate you pointing this out. I think my thought process when I added these points to my iceberg was mostly based on how much these creators had been discussed in tandem to the game itself (at least from the discussion I had found anyway). I've seen other icebergs with similar points (notably the Tomodachi Life iceberg). The RTgame point and some of the videos from various creators mentioned (Summoning Salt, Silokhawk, Nintendo Hero etc.) are still all interesting imo, but I do see why it could come off as repetitive. Also worth noting that I got a lot of comments saying they were pleasantly surprised to see RTgame, Poofessure etc., but also comments in a similar vein to yours. Thank you again.
@@Guineax I think it’s a matter of whether or not people are involved in the community already. I clicked this because I wanted to know what kind of weird secrets or rumors existed for such a benign-seeming game, and I didn’t know that there was an existing community with this network of youtubers they’re all familiar with. It’s perfectly fine to aim the video more at the “insiders”, I just didn’t know that was a thing when I commented!
Fun fact: In the practice mode of power cruising, it's possible to repeatedly hop through the Pirate's Eye under the lighthouse if you rush at the right angle. I remember doing it as a kid.
Rule 43 is actually "It is a delicious trap. You must hit it." It's right after Rule 42, "It is delicious cake. You must eat it.", so someone should probably update the rules. They're actually from 2007.
literally my most played game on the wii, didn’t know people didn’t play it until i would bring it up and they’d say, “you mean wii sports?” resort is superior
i know! i think it just came bundled with the wii my grandma gave me. i assumed it just came with every wii purchased. i’ve only recently realized that’s not the case
I remember when I was in fifth grade, I wrote a fanfiction of the characters from a comic strip I liked taking a vacation on Wuhu Island. I was also insane, so it ended with a battle between two giant dragons. It's absolutely terrible, but I have a lot of good memories from writing it.
Hey just a tip for the future: if you put the timestamps before each section of the video in the description like this: 1:27 Level 1 4:52 Level 2 7:03 Level 3 10:17 Level 4 15:20 Level 5 18:46 Level 6 23:21 Level 7 ...then it will divide those sections into individual chapters in the youtube scrollbar.
I remember when I got a system a while after the Wii came out and resort came bundled along with sports, but it's likely that most people had early systems because of the massive popularity on launch
The giveup category did start off mostly as a meme, but over time it's become more serious with difficult strategies being found and used, giving up is even used in the regular 18 hole category for a couple of reasons, sometimes even on several holes.
Just realised how much sense that comment makes lol It really IS like an recurring character, Every time we revisit wuhu island its like meeting an old friend...
23:03 This is probably the build region, date, and time for the game. It's a useful feature in late testing to be able to check what build the game is on, to ensure that people reporting bugs aren't reporting an old bug that has been fixed. I guess it got left in the final release, probably just an oversight.
Yeah that was my thought too, it fits with a likely gold build (RTM) of all editions except Japan. 2009/06/05 is slightly less than two months before the release date of most of the world, so probably enough time to produce and ship disks for initial launch. It is however only 21 days before the Japan release, which sounds a bit short.
I didn't know this iceberg was a thing, kinda sad the singing voice in the water cave wasn't mentioned. It's pretty nice knowing there's a Mii (or something else) singing in the cave at night. Really adds a lot to Wuhu island
I went to a friend’s house once and we played on his Wii. I remember playing Mario kart and the bundle version of Wii sports with Wii sports resort. If I never went to his place, I wouldn’t know the bundled version existed.
6:55 Stamps re-emerged in Nintendo Land, which is another game in the “Wii” series in the sense that it’s a mini game collection where you play as Mii characters.
@@comradejosephstalinoftheus8698 I will respectfully disagree. It's certainly going for a different vibe, but it retains a fun and immersive atmosphere with its artstyle making everything appear as if it's in a theme park and is not actually real (ie everything is stitched together in Zelda, made of paper in Ninja, made of plastic/metal in Pikmin, etc).
@AidanToad That's true actually, I forgot about that. I also didn't give enough credit to just how many mini-games are in Nintendo, there are some really fun ones in there.
I remember playing a ton of the Island Flyover minigame and trying to get all the Info bubbles. For the longest time I had found a small cave at ocean level that was very narrow and I got lucky and got a bit inside and found a star from mario 64 inside, I was never able to get it and I think about it a lot. I would have loved to have known about that infinite timer in the debug menu
This video was oddly calming. I turned it on to listen to something on the drive home from yoga, and now I feel even more relaxed. I've never played Wii Sports Resort, nor desire to speedrun it, but this was a very neat iceburg. Thanks for uploading!
I haven’t seen any other comments about this, so I have one more thing you might have missed: When playing the frisbee dog minigame, it is possible to instantly pop the balloons before even throwing the frisbee by pressing the A and 2 buttons together.
You have a very soothing voice, a nice taste in music and editing skills. That (apart from the content itself, which is really just nostalgic and great to see again) makes this video perfect. Thank you
I remember going to a friends house and playing resort every week after school. We used to make miis and use them to play basketball all the time. Haven’t seen that friend in years…
Actually the stamp system did reappear! It was in a game called Nintendo land, and it worked in that each game had stamps for completing unique tasks, just like in wii sports resort.
22:34: 6/5/2009 was probably the _build date_ of the game. The input was likely for debugging purposes, so playtesters/whoever was testing the game could quickly see which build they were using and when it was built.
Same, I got mine here in South America, more specifically Chile, when I bought my Black Wii all the way back in 2013. Never knew this was obscure in the slightest
Fascinating list. I speedrun the game regularly (Swordplay Showdown) and I did not know a lot of these. I will mention that the lunging/poking is an important speed running strategy in Showdown, as you will reach Miis faster if you lunge at a certain distance
As a Korean, my brother and I played the korean version of wii sports, wii sports resort, mario kart and new super mario bros; we knew that korea is a separate region (we couldn’t play a star wars game that our friend gave from russia), but never did it occur to us that the information of the korean version is so obsolete in the western community. We still play it when we go back to our parent’s house (we study abroad together), so many good memories
I remember the Ad for Wii resort when I was younger. (which makes me get goosebumps from nostalgia) buying it with my parents when I was about 5, which brings back so many memories. Still have the CD but the wii broke and bought a second handed one early this year. Its cool. (If anyone has questions about the Korean Copy, I’ll try to explain about it)
One more thing: Alaskaxp2 says in one of his WSR all sports, all categories speedruns that he won’t verify any wr speedruns if they don’t shoot the 19th tee hotel on island flyover.
For more info about what was mentioned at 17:53 this is the version that came with my wii, I live in america and my parents got the wii family edition (RVL-101) (in case you don't know the family edition has all Gamecube compatibility features including Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots removed for a lower price, it also comes in black and is designed to sit horizontally) while the family edition originally came with Super Mario Bros. Wii and a limited edition soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy later versions did in fact come with Wii Sports+Wii Sports Resort (the version released in Europe was white and came with Wii Party and Wii Sports). I hope this clears up any questions any of you fellow viewers may have about this topic.
my school used to have wii sports + resort on the wii! it sounded familiar when i heard the name but the second i saw the "which would you like to choose?" menu it all came flooding back, super cool
Thanks a lot for your work!! My friends and me are playing Disc Golf on Wuhu Island for more than 10 years now, everytime when we meet, and it's still sooo much fun! And of course we still hope that SOMEDAY there'll be a HD-version with new courses..! :D
This was such an amazing video, I loved it! Always a fan of iceberg videos, and as a massive fan of Wii Sports Resort, this one really caught my attention. I even learnt new things from this too, like the sky blue Wii Remote + MotionPlus and Nunchuk! Thank you so much for making such a beautifully produced video.
Thanks for your time and effort making this. This is well edited video and audio with your soft spoken narration delighting the ears man. The choice of music really makes it all fit together perfectly. Looking forward to seeing more of what you make!
22:35 I'd say that's the build timestamp of the game. In software development, it is sometimes practice to include the build timestamp of a given piece of software within itself, that is, the time and date when the software was compiled/assembled/built into a program. Maybe the "Product" text indicates that it is the final release build, not a debug or in-development build. I wonder if the text in the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle would be different?
Surprised you didn't mention the easter egg with the whale. Iirc, spot the whale in a specific spot in island flyover, exit and select the power cruising route in the area it was spotted, select free practice, and after driving around you can find it swimming directly beneath you! It's kinda cool but somehow scary at the same time lol
I don’t know how well known/popular it was, but i must have spent hours finding all the ducklings in the warmup space for the canoe races. i never would have said it then, but looking back now i think it was one of my favourite add ins to this game
I've seen a lot of iceberg thumbnails and never really understood it. I'm still not sure why I clicked this one, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sincere tone and interesting tidbits, virtually none of which I knew going in. I guess I was expecting cynical dunking or a meme video or something, but I really enjoyed the straightforward presentation and was engrossed all the way through. Good stuff!
17:53 I explicitly remember owning the 2 in 1 that came bundled with the Wii console I got for Christmas as a kid. Wish I knew it was that rare so I kept it around. On second thought it may have been 2 discs bundled in one sleeve
No, you could buy blue Wiimotes, but this giveaway was the only chance to get a blue Wiimotion plus ans Nunchuck, so these two are the rare thing about it
I don’t know if it’s a made up memory, but I remember seeing an article where a wii sport resort player died of an heart attack because they played the marathon/ jogging game too much in one sitting. I’m not sure if it did happen since it’s not in the iceberg.
The date that appears on the bottom on the screen is most likely a reflection of the build date of the game. It was probably used during development to distinguish between the different versions of the game.
As a kid i found Out that crashing in a specific group of Houses in the flight Game triggers the Game to play the super Mario dying Jingle. Hoped to see this Herr :(
Something I think this iceberg glossed over was the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel functionality. If enabled, Wii Sports Resort will pull Miis from the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel as spectators and opponents in most sports. This means you can end up in interesting situations like facing off against Peter Griffin in Basketball or Michael Jackson in table tennis. The feature was non-functional for several years following WiiConnect24's discontinuation in 2013, but since the revival of the Check Mii Out Channel through RiiConnect24, this feature works again.
17:41 oh hey! I have this one :D, i didnt know it was obscure since when we bought it the store had a lot of copies lined up with Posters saying stuff like " the Best wii sports expirience" and stuff like that.
Are there any topics you'd like to see me cover in a future video?

What y’all might not know about the bowling SECRET, the ball color corresponds to the ball weight...blue being the heaviest, and red is the lightest!

@@molIymawk It does! the heavier the ball, it takes much more force to use (induce front/back spin, or throwing a curve) than the lighter ball. the heavier ball stands a greater chance of keeping its course, wheras the lighter the ball, it can bounce off pins without knocking them over. just as in real bowling, the physics are almost perfect.

I hope this clears up any questions any of you fellow viewers may have about this topic.
my school used to have wii sports + resort on the wii! it sounded familiar when i heard the name but the second i saw the "which would you like to choose?" menu it all came flooding back, super cool
Thanks a lot for your work!!
My friends and me are playing Disc Golf on Wuhu Island for more than 10 years now, everytime when we meet, and it's still sooo much fun! And of course we still hope that SOMEDAY there'll be a HD-version with new courses..! :D
every time i hear Wuhu Island, i keep thinking of the word 'woohoo' and the idea of a woohoo island is both both funny and terrifying to me
EXCUSE ME, are we gonna forget about Monster Factory and the infamous TurboVicki????
17:50 Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort also came out in NTSC regions (bundled with wiis)
When I was a child I hyperfixtated really hard on Wuhu Island and Pilotwings successfully ruined it for me.
I know every single secret target by heart. I... Played a lot of archery.
This was such an amazing video, I loved it! Always a fan of iceberg videos, and as a massive fan of Wii Sports Resort, this one really caught my attention. I even learnt new things from this too, like the sky blue Wii Remote + MotionPlus and Nunchuk! Thank you so much for making such a beautifully produced video.
Thanks for your time and effort making this. This is well edited video and audio with your soft spoken narration delighting the ears man. The choice of music really makes it all fit together perfectly. Looking forward to seeing more of what you make!
22:35 I'd say that's the build timestamp of the game. In software development, it is sometimes practice to include the build timestamp of a given piece of software within itself, that is, the time and date when the software was compiled/assembled/built into a program. Maybe the "Product" text indicates that it is the final release build, not a debug or in-development build.
I wonder if the text in the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle would be different?
Seeing WiiLikeToPlay as the top result at 7:12 is honestly amazing. They, along with TheRunawayGuys, were my go-to Let's Players for Wii games.
Surprised you didn't mention the easter egg with the whale. Iirc, spot the whale in a specific spot in island flyover, exit and select the power cruising route in the area it was spotted, select free practice, and after driving around you can find it swimming directly beneath you! It's kinda cool but somehow scary at the same time lol
I enjoy coming back to see this video. I remember loving the lower levels of the iceberg.
I had the wii sports + wii sports resort disc!!! I had no idea it was obscure haha it was just what me and my siblings grew up playing
I don’t know how well known/popular it was, but i must have spent hours finding all the ducklings in the warmup space for the canoe races. i never would have said it then, but looking back now i think it was one of my favourite add ins to this game
I actually have the US version of Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort. In fact, that was how I played the games when I got the Wii in Christmas 2011.
I like how this is genuine trivia about the game, and not just a bunch of BS creepypasta like "Matt is evil" or something
I've seen a lot of iceberg thumbnails and never really understood it. I'm still not sure why I clicked this one, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sincere tone and interesting tidbits, virtually none of which I knew going in. I guess I was expecting cynical dunking or a meme video or something, but I really enjoyed the straightforward presentation and was engrossed all the way through. Good stuff!
17:41
I have a copy of this. It came bundled in with my Wii.
“Wedge Island”, the setting of the Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort golf game also appears in Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus.
17:53 I explicitly remember owning the 2 in 1 that came bundled with the Wii console I got for Christmas as a kid. Wish I knew it was that rare so I kept it around. On second thought it may have been 2 discs bundled in one sleeve
You mean to tell me my blue remote is rare?! I thought it was just a standard colour that they come in
I have a blue one too!
is it the light blue or the turquoise?
Wait I have like 6 of these are they worth money omg
No, you could buy blue Wiimotes, but this giveaway was the only chance to get a blue Wiimotion plus ans Nunchuck, so these two are the rare thing about it
this is such a hypnotic video. i’m so transfixed
Level 6 is where my knowledge ended, to be honest I didn't think I knew that much about a game I haven't played in years
Never thought I'd watch this long of a video about Wii Sports..
I don’t know if it’s a made up memory, but I remember seeing an article where a wii sport resort player died of an heart attack because they played the marathon/ jogging game too much in one sitting. I’m not sure if it did happen since it’s not in the iceberg.
1:22 this music selection alone just got you a new sub
Another thing: you can blow out the candles in Speed Slice by waving your sword near the flame
I knew it was only a matter of time for a Wii Sports Resort iceberg. Nice video
The date that appears on the bottom on the screen is most likely a reflection of the build date of the game. It was probably used during development to distinguish between the different versions of the game.
Bro i was absolutely not ready for schlatt to be mentioned in this video
As a kid i found Out that crashing in a specific group of Houses in the flight Game triggers the Game to play the super Mario dying Jingle. Hoped to see this Herr :(
Something I think this iceberg glossed over was the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel functionality. If enabled, Wii Sports Resort will pull Miis from the Check Mii Out Channel/Mii Contest Channel as spectators and opponents in most sports. This means you can end up in interesting situations like facing off against Peter Griffin in Basketball or Michael Jackson in table tennis.
The feature was non-functional for several years following WiiConnect24's discontinuation in 2013, but since the revival of the Check Mii Out Channel through RiiConnect24, this feature works again.
17:41 oh hey! I have this one :D, i didnt know it was obscure since when we bought it the store had a lot of copies lined up with Posters saying stuff like " the Best wii sports expirience" and stuff like that.
Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort and it’s influence on me as a child are a large part of why I love jazz and jazzy music as an adult.
22:22 The date/time in the corner is probably the game build date, used by the game's devs to check which pre-release version they're testing.
The Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort game was also bundled with the Wii Family Edition.
Never thought I’d see anything like this as an iceberg, but I guess rule.43 changed that…
Man, I've been playing this game for 12 years now and I only knew like 10-20% of the stuff listed on this iceberg.
