• Speed Catch: Single player. Players catch balls thrown at them with increasing velocity, reaching speeds of over 240 km/h.
• Nine Trial: Up to four players. Each player is given a board with nine panels. The race is to see who can throw balls through all the panels the fastest.
• Bomber Catch: Up to four players. Players throw a bomb around, and the player holding the bomb when it explodes loses one heart.

The game received a score of 63/100 at Metacritic indicating "mixed or average reviews". ^[2] Although Nintendo Life praised the presentation and controls, they otherwise felt that as a whole the game was shallow and repetitive. ^[4] IGN called the story mode of the game "heartwarming and unique", but also noted the repetitive nature of the game. ^[3] Wiiloveit.com thought much of the game, but the hefty price tag really got in the way of being able to recommend it strongly. ^[5]
