Frisbee® is one of 12 sports available to play in Wii Sports Resort. The game uses the Wii Remote held vertically, which the player uses to throw Frisbee discs.
There are two variations of this sport: Frisbee Dog, and Frisbee Golf.
Frisbee Dog[]
Frisbee Dog gameplay
Overview[]
Frisbee Dog is a game in which the player's Mii throws a Frisbee to the center of a circular area, and their dog must catch the Frisbee. The player gets 100 points when the dog catches the Frisbee in the purple circle (center area), 50 points if the dog catches the frisbee in the orange zone (middle ring), and 10 points if the dog catches the frisbee in the green/turquoise zone (outer ring).
There are 10 rounds. During the last five throws, the "Balloon Challenge" takes place, which involves a balloon appearing in the area where you throw the discs. If the player throws the frisbee in its direction, they can pop it to get extra points. There are two types of balloons: orange 50-point balloons and purple 100-point balloons.
If you get a total of 400 points or more in the first five throws, a 100-point balloon will appear in the sixth attempt. Otherwise, a 50-point balloon will appear. In the following rounds, a 100-point balloon appears if the player scores 150 or 200 points in the last throw - otherwise a 50-point balloon appears.
Stamps[]
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Good Dog (Mid-Air Catch) | Throw the Frisbee right into the center of the target area to make the dog jump up and grab it out of the air. This is more of an accomplishment for the dog, really... |
| Balloon Animal (Practice Makes Perfect) | During practice, pop all 9 balloons in ten throws or less. After ten throws, any remaining balloons are replaced with nine new ones. |
| A for Effort (10 x 10) | Score 10 points with each of your 10 throws to get this stamp. That means hitting the green 10-point zone every time. It's at least as hard as aiming for the bulls-eye! You can't get this stamp in team play. |
| Perfect Target (Dead Centre) | Hit the center of the target area and score 100 points with all ten of your throws. Extra points scored by popping balloons don't count. You can't get this stamp in team play. |
| Golden Arm (Perfect Score) | Score 100 points with every throw and pop every balloon. That'll get you an astonishing 1,500 points. You can't get this stamp in team play. |
Frisbee Golf[]
Frisbee Golf gameplay
Overview[]
Frisbee Golf is a game that is played with the same rules as regular golf, except that players throw a frisbee at a target. The objective of the game is to throw the frisbee into the target in as few shots as possible. If the frisbee goes out of bounds or into a water hazard, a one-shot penalty is added and the player must take their next shot in the same position. If the player has made a number of throws equal to three times the par score on any hole, they will automatically give up for a +6, +8, or +10 on their overage.
Frisbee Golf uses the same set of 21 courses as classic Golf. The player can also choose whether to play a game with three, nine or eighteen holes.
Compared to classic golf[]
Similarities between Frisbee Golf and regular Golf in Wii Sports Resort:
- The off-screen audience groan and a buzzer goes off when the frisbee goes out of bounds.
- The off-screen audience groan before the buzzer goes off when the frisbee drops into a water hazard.
- The par scores are the same for the same holes.
- The player automatically gives up after making a number of throws greater than par score tripled.
Differences between Frisbee Golf and regular Golf:
- Frisbee golf uses the Frisbee to play Golf.
- The "hole" is much bigger, increasing the chance of getting a hole in one.
- The "hole" is a large beaming light and covers most of the green (instead of a basket like a real frisbee golf).
- The Driver cannot go as far as a Golf Driver, and a Putter cannot go as far as a golf Putter.
- On hole 1, a wrought iron lattice covers the small lake at the beginning, so that the player cannot throw the disc into the water hazard.
- Fairway, Rough, and Bunker are all areas that are Safe.
Frisbee types[]
- Driver - Frisbee that can go an average of 180 yards and at a maximum of 300 yards.
- Mid-range - Frisbee that can go an average of 90 yards and at a maximum of 175 yards.
- Putter - Frisbee that can go an average of 30 yards and at a maximum of 75 yards.
Stamps[]
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Under Par | Finish 3-, 9-, or 18-hole course under par. A score of 0 is par. A score of -1 or less is under par. You can't earn this stamp in a team-play match. |
| Lucky Skip (Skip to Safety) | Get this stamp when a Frisbee bound for water hazard skips across the surface of the water and lands safely on the other side. |
| On a Roll (Rolling Goal) | To pull off a "roll-in," throw your Frisbee from outside the green, hit the ground, and roll it into the goal. It sounds tough, and it's even tougher than you think. |
| Hole in One (Hole-In-One) | Throw the Frisbee into the target area in just one throw. The target is a tower of light rather than a tiny hole, so it's a lot easier to do than in classic golf... but still not easy. |
| Straight and Narrow (A Clean 18) | Play an 18-hole round of Frisbee Golf without throwing any discs out of bounds or into a water hazard. You can't get this stamp in team play. |
Trivia[]
Beta HUD (click to enlarge)
- In Frisbee Dog practice mode, you can press A and 2 to pop all nine of the balloons at once. This trick also works with the 50-point balloons and the 100-point balloons in the Balloon Challenge.
- If you throw the frisbee way off from the target, the dog will have a disappointed look when it brings the frisbee back.
- Each player has a different colored dog. Player 1 has a tan dog, Player 2 has a grey dog, Player 3 has a golden dog, and Player 4 has a brown dog.
- At E3 2008, the HUD was different from the Frisbee appeared in the final version of the game. The game was originally called "Disc Dog".
