Part I: Wii Fit Plus
✓
Rumble:
This option determines whether the Wii Remote vibrates to
certain onscreen or in-game options. Unless you are sensitive to
vibrations, it is recommended that you leave this option enabled for
Wii Fit Plus.
Like Volume, the Rumble settings remain and apply to all Wii
Remotes that connect to your system.
✓
Connection:
This option disconnects Wii Remotes from your console
without turning off the system.
Unlike the Wii Remote, the Nunchuk attachment is used only for Rhythm
Boxing, which is explained in Chapter 5, and Rhythm Kung Fu, Rhythm
Parade, and Big Top Juggling, which are explained in Chapter 6. You are
prompted by
Wii Fit Plus
when to use the Nunchuk. Because the standard
Nunchuk is not wireless, it needs to be plugged in to the bottom of your
active Wii Remote, after which it will be automatically detected. Like the Wii
Remote, the Nunchuk can be used in either hand for maximum comfort.
Navigating the Wii Fit Plus Menus
Wii Fit Plus
is divided into three main navigation areas: Wii Fit Plaza, the
Calendar screen, and the Training menu. A fourth area, the
Wii Fit Plus
Channel, can optionally be added to the Wii Menu. The following sections
explore the options available in these areas.
Wii Fit Plaza
The Wii Fit Plaza is the starting point for your
Wii Fit Plus
training. After all the
Miis you registered in
Wii Fit Plus
have finished running in, you see the Wii Fit
Plaza, as shown in Figure 1-4. The Wii Fit Plaza has the following options:
✓
Wii Menu:
Click the Wii icon at the upper left of the screen to return to
the Wii Menu screen. You can also return to the Wii Menu screen any
time by clicking the Home button on your Wii Remote.
✓
New Profile:
Click the happy-face, plus-sign icon at the middle left of the
screen to create a new user profile. This new user has to go through the
setup process we describe earlier in this chapter. After registration, the
new Mii appears in the Wii Fit Plaza, ready to be selected.
✓
Pet Stats:
Click the animal icon in the lower left of the screen to register
User Data for your pet. You enter your pet’s name, pet type (dog or cat),
and characteristics. Although your pet will not be able to participate in the
activities, your pet’s weight can be measured and tracked. In addition, your
pet’s avatar appears during some of the activities to keep you company.
Keep in mind that you can register only up to eight personal profiles,
and this number includes your pets.
