What You'll Learn
Dribble past defenders into the dunking floor
To perform a slam dunk in Wii Sports Resort, you must first dribble past the defenders into the dunking floor. The dunking floor is the blue area under the net, and if you manage to dribble your way into this area, you can then press B to initiate a slam dunk.
Dribbling is a fundamental skill in basketball, and in Wii Sports Resort, it will help you create space for yourself and pass the ball past defenders. You can use some basic dribbling techniques to get past defenders and into the dunking floor. Try to dribble by ducking under their arms or moving around them. You can also try to dunk through a defender's legs—they won't expect that!
Once you've dribbled into the dunking floor, it's time to slam dunk. Stand close to the hoop with your back to the basket. Then, press and hold B to jump up. Make sure you have good balance and are positioned directly under the hoop when you press B. The timing of this move is crucial, so practice regularly to master it. When your Mii is right over the basket, flick your wrist downward to dunk the ball through the hoop.
Remember, winning is important in Wii Sports Resort, so don't forget to showboat with some powerful dunks to impress your opponents and gain momentum in the game.

Press B to jump and initiate the dunk
Pressing the B button is a crucial step in performing a slam dunk in Wii Sports Resort. This action initiates the jump, which is an essential part of the dunking process. When your Mii is under the hoop, press the B button on your Wii Remote to make them jump. Time it right, and you'll see your Mii soar towards the basket.
However, simply pressing B is not enough. To truly execute the slam dunk, you must combine it with a specific Wii Remote motion. As you press B and your Mii jumps, make a quick and forceful downward motion with the Wii Remote. This action completes the dunk, showcasing your Mii's athletic prowess as they slam the ball through the hoop.
The timing and coordination of these two actions are vital. You must press B when your Mii is positioned directly under the hoop to ensure they jump towards the basket. Simultaneously, the downward flick of the Wii Remote must be synchronized with the jump's apex to ensure a smooth and powerful dunk.
Practicing this move will help you master the timing and coordination required. With enough repetition, you'll be able to effortlessly press B to jump and initiate the dunk, combining it with the Wii Remote motion to dominate the virtual basketball court.

Flick the Wii-mote down to complete the dunk
To perform a slam dunk in Wii Sports Resort, you must first enter the dunking zone. This is the blue area under the net, known as the key. Once your Mii has entered this area, press the B button to initiate the jump. At the height of the jump, you must then flick the Wii-mote down to complete the dunk. This motion simulates the arm movement of a slam dunk.
It is important to time the flick of the Wii-mote correctly. If you initiate any shot other than a dunk, your opponent has a chance to block it. Therefore, you should either wait for your opponent to jump and then shoot, or shoot quickly and hope that they do not block you. If you jump but do not shoot, you will lose control of the ball.
You can also perform a one-handed dunk in the layup lanes on either side of the dunking floor. If you selected right-handed, your Mii will dunk with their right hand, and if you selected left-handed, your Mii will dunk with their left hand.
To dribble the ball, repeatedly flick the Wii Remote down, as if it were a basketball. This will also make your Mii move faster around the court.

Dunk with one hand in the layup lane
To dunk with one hand in the layup lane in Wii Sports Resort, you must first dribble past the defenders into the blue dunking floor area or the lighter blue layup lane. Then, position yourself with your back to the basket and jump by pressing and holding the B button on your controller. At the height of your jump, flick your Wii Remote down to complete the dunk.
The timing of this move is crucial, so be sure to practice regularly to master the timing of your press and jump sequence. You can also try jumping higher by pressing the A button just before you leap, giving your ball more airtime and allowing it to go further.
Remember that in the layup lane, your Mii will dunk with one hand, either right or left-handed depending on your selection. You can determine the handedness of CPU Miis by observing which hand they dunk with.

Block a shot by raising the Wii-mote
To block a shot in Wii Sports Resort, you must raise the Wii-mote at the same time that your opponent jumps to shoot. If you time it right and are in the air at the same time as your opponent, you will successfully block their shot and gain control of the ball.
It's important to note that you cannot direct your Miis on your team when you have the ball. However, when you pass, your Miis will automatically reposition themselves for various shots. If you want to move your Miis into a better position on the court, you can dribble to make them move faster.
The key, the blue area under the net, is where Miis will head when the opposing team makes a mistake trying to grab the ball. If one of your Miis enters the key, you can hit B to shoot and automatically initiate a slam dunk animation. To complete the dunk, make sure to flick your Wii-mote down while at the height of your jump.
When attempting a slam dunk, be aware that your opponent can block your shot. You can try to shoot quickly before they have a chance to block, or wait for them to jump and then shoot after they've left the ground. If you jump but don't shoot, you will lose control of the ball. To swipe the ball away from the other team, jab the Wii-mote when the ball is in front of the dribbling Mii's body.
