When the pointer reaches the last section, the players must shake Wii Remote until the pointer arrives at the end.

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.
