Trivia[]

  • If two players gets the best pair and re-enter, Party Phil will say the best pair in second-person with their friend connection score.
  • The default ranking for the best pair are Matt and Lucía (scoring 70/good buddies) while the ranking for the worst pair are Tatsuaki and Abby (scoring 26/friendly).
    • If two players get the worst pair and re-enter, Party Phil will say the worst pair score in third-person. He quickly adds "I'm expecting a good score this time!"
    • If two other players gets the best pair and/or the worst pair, Party Phil will say the best and worst pair in third-person.
  • The following Pair Minigames are excluded in Friend Connection: Flashlight Frights, Color Coordination, Pump Cart Panic, Teamwork Temple, Rodent Rundown, and Clover Hunt since they can't have different rankings. Pair Minigames that appear can be ranked due to how many points they get or how fast they can be done with.
  • The Advanced Miis aren't ranked in this game mode at all. Same goes for the Miis who debuted in Wii Sports Resort.
  • On the menu, as well as in the rules, the CPUs shown playing are Chris and Emily.
    • The CPUs shown playing in the preview picture are Steve and Abby.
  • Upon being given their score, depending on the results, the pair of Miis will perform one of the following animations:
    • If their score is 0, the Miis will punch the ground.
    • If their score is less than 30, the Miis will just have sad expressions.
    • If their score is between 30 and 50, they will just stand there with a sad expression.
    • If their score is between 50 and 60, they will smile, jump, wave and clap.
    • If their score is between 60 and 100, they will do a short dance. There are three variants of the dance.
    • If their score is 100, they will perform a longer dance, that features the pair dancing in a circle and high-fiving each other.
  • In the rankings for the Worst Pairs, no matter where they are, they will look with a sad expression.
  • The first Mii that appears in the Best Pairs Rankings is also in the rankings for Solo Mode Expert difficulty.
  • If the pair does very poorly and gets a D in the minigame, when jumping out of the heart they will fall and act dizzy for 1 second, before getting up and running onto the platform.
  • There is a trick that occasionally happens when you score 100 (Best Friends), where when you are getting your score, the platform goes up, then down at stops at the number 10, which is an impossible score to have, then continues to spin until 100.
  • If you have a score from 0 to 20, the platform will rise up straight and either stop at 20 or go down.
  • If you have a score from 22 and 38, the platform will go up straight up and and stop.
  • If you score is from 40 to 78, the platform will go up but the screen goes around it once.
  • If your score is from 80 to 100, you will go around the platform twice.
  • If you have a score from 0 to 38, it will rain and the background is purple. If you have a score from 40 to 100, you will have a brighter more happy background, but the higher score you get, the more features you can see.
  • Even with the maximum score, Party Phil will still say to the #1 pair that he expects a great score from them as if you could do greater than 100, but you can't.
