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.
