50 free Wii Sports trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Wii Sports turned living rooms into tennis courts and bowling alleys in 2006, and it did so with a cast of simple, round-headed avatars that players still remember by name. The computer-controlled Miis who stand between a beginner and each championship have become cult figures, none more so than the boxer waiting at the top of the ladder. This quiz covers the characters first: the champions of tennis, baseball and boxing, the opponents who greet new players, and the Miis who rule the events of the sequel. It also covers how the game was designed, the sport it nearly included, its sequels and remake, and the talk shows, award ceremonies and tournaments it turned up in. It suits anyone who spent an afternoon swinging a remote at the television, with a few harder questions for players who know every opponent by name.
