There are events where the player can use the Balance Board but it is not necessary, this is just to add fun to the game. An announcement was made that the game will have WiiConnect24 available so the player can utilize their Mii’s in-game. An additional feature allows the player to customize his Mii by changing its clothes and other accessories.
