Not to be confused with Snap Judgement or Saucer Snap.

Smile Snap (にっこりカメラマン (Smile Cameraman) in the Japanese version) is a 4-Player Minigame in Wii Party.

Gameplay

The player must take the picture that has the most Miis smiling. The Miis will occasionally look away from the camera and have either normal, angry, sad, or surprised expressions, which do not count (they will also look away before the Minigame starts).

Controls

Hold the Wii Remote horizontally.
Press A to take a picture.

Trivia

2024-01-13 011208 — The minigame's thumbnail.

A smiling Mii's face doesn't have to be centered in looking at the camera for it to count. The faces of the Miis actually go through a few frames before making another facial expression. After they're done looking away from the camera, they will start to smile again and go back to look at the camera.
It is very rare but possible to get a perfect (8 smiles). It is luck-based and it takes usually less than 1 second for it to last. Master Miis do not gain their opportunities to get a perfect image since the expected number of smiles they get is 5-6 smiles.

Example of a Perfect Image
If you fail to take a picture within a time limit, you get a blank image with gray background. You also automatically get 0 as a score since there are no Miis.
In rare cases, a Beginner Mii can do better than a Master Mii in this minigame. While their expected values of each difficulty are different of each other, there are times where a Beginner Mii gets six or seven smiles, winning against the Master Miis.

A time where a Beginner performs better than a Master (Part 1) — Example of two Beginner Miis, Mike and Shohei, who got at least 6 smiles.

Master Miis' Expected number of smiles — Pierre and Stéphanie got 6 smiles. Steph got 5 smiles.

The expected number of smiles a CPU can get is determined by its difficulty (and calculating its interquartile range):
- Beginner CPUs get one-two smiles.
- Standard CPUs get two-three smiles.
- Advanced CPUs get three-four smiles.
- Expert CPUs get four-five smiles.
- Master CPUs get five-six smiles.
- These CPUs never get smiles below the given range.
