Once you’ve attained Pro status in the Cycling, you can hold down 1 when choosing you Mii to use a ‘basket bike.’ The ‘basket bike’ either has a picture of a pizza or some flowers on it depending on your Mii’s gender.

In some events you can face an island champion for a stamp. Once you turn Pro in many of the sports, at an event score of 1000, you won’t face champions right away. For most of the sports you must get your level to right around 1500 to face the champions and thus get your stamps.

In bowling’s 100-Pin Game, if you can toss the ball onto the blue bumper just right and make it travel all the way to the end, it will hit a switch and knock down all the pins. To do this, release the ball late on Manual to toss the ball into the air. Angle it towards the bumper with some spin to keep it on track.

To change the boring blue color of your ball to something more flashy, hold a direction on the directional pad at the Bowling loading screen. The following directions correspond to colors:

• Down – Green Bowling Ball
• Left – Red Bowling Ball
• Right – Gold Bowling Ball

You can also unlock a bowling ball covered in stars for each bowling event by attaining Pro Level (1000 points).

Swoop down near the circle of cabins outside of the town on the south side of the island to hear the distinct strains of a Super Mario Bros. game being played. That’s how we’d spend our time at a tropical island resort as well!
