Gameplay[edit]

Players try to earn points by jumping their Dolphins through hoops. Red hoops can be reached with a simple thrust of the Wii Remote, but gold hoops require the players to dive (by holding A Button) so that they can do a higher jump. Occasionally, there are several consecutive hoops, which require good timing to get through all of them. The player with the highest score at the end of the course wins. The highest possible score is 40 points.

This minigame also appears in Perspective Mode, where the camera is positioned behind the player and zoomed in.

Ending[edit]

After crossing the goal, the Dolphins jump randomly.
