Ending[edit]

The rockets blasting off
The rockets in space

The players enter their rockets, and they head for space. There are three phases where each rocket stops and has one of its stages broken off, so it is dependent on how well the players did per button-pressing and remote-shaking session. The player who wins the minigame is launched highest overall. The background music gets to an outer space mix as the players reach space. Occasionally, a UFO is seen flying as the minigame is about to end.

In-game text[edit]

  • Rules"Use the controls on-screen to build up energy in your three-stage rocket. The player who blasts his or her rocket highest wins!"
  • Controls"Rapidly enter the controls seen on the energy meter at the top of the screen: first One Button, then Two Button, and finally shake the Wii Remote."
