Wii U version of Spot the Sneak.

Information

Game:

Wii Party, Wii Party U

Type:

2-4 players

Instructions:

Wii: "One player gets a secret advantage in each minigame. Sneaky! Uses the rumble feature of the Wii Remotes."

Wii U: "One player has a secret advantage in these minigames, and it's up to the other players to figure out which one of them is the Sneak!"

Spot the Sneak (Rule Reversal in Wii Party PAL version) is a game played with 2-4 players, counting as a Minigames mode in both Wii Party and Wii Party U. It is unlocked by playing through all of the 4-player minigames at least once.

Options[]

  • Number of rounds: 3 or 5

Gameplay[]

This mode revolves around three or five rounds, where the players will play normal 4-player minigames. However, one of the players (including CPUs) will get a secret advantage which is announced before each minigame starts. Before the Minigames, there is a "Rumble Time" where everybody's Wii Remote, except for the sneak's (or cheater's), rumbles. This lets the players know if they are the sneak. Once the minigame is over, the players get points based on their rankings (1st place is 40 points, 2nd place is 30 points, 3rd place is 20 points and 4th place is 10 points), and then they must guess who the sneak was. However, CPUs can't guess. If the players guess correctly, they take 10-20 points from the sneak/cheater, if they're incorrect, the sneak/cheater takes 10-20 points from them. (Of course, it doesn't matter whom the cheater picks.) After 3 or 5 rounds, the player(s) with the most points win.

Trivia[]

  • When the sneak is revealed, the players who guessed correctly will look at them smiling, while those who don't will look at the sneak in shock instead.
    • This also means that CPUs will always look at the sneak in shock, as they cannot guess.
  • In Wii Party, the host is Party Phil, but Wii Party U, where Party Penny was introduced, has her as the host.
  • After every round is over, the camera angle will change for the introduction of the next round.
