Niki bounces off the floor,
ricochets from the walls and swims in water, just like a real
ball! How far Niki jumps will depend on the take-off angle,
which in turn is determined by Niki’s speed.
Transform Niki Ball in mid-air into Niki Rock to help him fall
faster to earth, like a rock, and shorten the jump.
You can play with a friend
cooperatively. Just connect a second Wii™ Remote to do so.
