Before starting the game, there are a few technical adjustments you should make for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

In the Dolphin Emulator, open the Controller menu from the toolbar, then select Configure under Emulated Wii Remote. If you’re using a controller, configure it normally under the General and Options tabs. However, our main focus is the Motion Simulation tab.

This part is crucial. In the Shake section, assign the Y, X, and Z axes to a trigger or button you find comfortable. Personally, I use the right trigger on my controller. Next, set the Intensity to its maximum value (I use 50.00c), and the Frequency to a fairly low level; 3.00 Hz works best in my experience.

The single-player Adventure Mode provides a rich narrative framework for applying your demolition skills across four distinct worlds. Your journey begins in the Gem Kingdom, where you defend precious resources and hapless sheep from medieval marauders, utilizing tactical throwing against enemies and structures. You then navigate the tropical Gorilda Rescue, where mastering the Grab Tool is essential to clear paths for baby Gorildas through perilous, platform-based puzzles. Next, the western setting of Boots n' Bandits challenges you with precise mining and protecting cows by using explosives to collapse enemy bandit bases. Finally, in the spooky Haunted Night, you must switch to pure defense, using projectiles to guard Mitten Kittens and building protective barriers against relentless waves of skeletons and reapers. In essence, Adventure Mode is a strategic tour that constantly evolves the core objective, ensuring every throw and grab has consequences.

These challenges are focused in Adventure Mode, the core challenge shifts to time management and resource deployment. Expect to replay levels, learning enemy spawn patterns and practicing swift, accurate grabbing for rescue missions. Always prioritize threats: a small Zero Bandito stealing a gem is often more dangerous than a slow Lord Browning. The Grab Tool puzzles, in particular, demand smooth, patient movements—yank too hard, and the whole structure might prematurely collapse against you.

Title	Guidance & Insights
Traitor to the Woolington Bahhhs	Ignore the gems for a moment and take out all 8 Duke and Sherman Woolingtons in any Gem Harvest level. These are your targets: Fail Conditions Achievement Tracking - A Trigger Indicator is displayed once you enter a Gem Harvest level. - A Measured Indicator tracks how many targets has been knocked down up to 8.

Fail Conditions - If your entire army is gone, the indicator will disappear. Achievement Tracking - A Trigger Indicator is displayed once you enter a Warriors level. - A Measured Indicator tracks how many sheep are in the level up to 8.
The Natives Call Them "Exploding Shotguns"	Achieve a Silver Medal or better in Gorilda Rescue -> Interruption (Escape, Lvl 02) while aggressively using the Grab Tool to clear the Gorilda's path and dispose of exactly 19 hostile enemies. ▶️ Watch Video Walkthrough Fail Conditions - The indicator will disappear once the time frame exceeds the silver medal threshold.

Achievement Tracking - A Trigger Indicator is displayed once you enter the level. - A Measured Indicator tracks time as %, and pauses when the game is paused.
64-Karat Gold	In any of Boots n' Bandits -> Gold Mine levels, use your initial bomb(s) to make a whole in the wood blocks so that your pre-score counter can have a chance to reach 64 Nuggets or higher before you begin using the bouncy balls. Tip: sometimes, the bomb tool is useless. You might need to get rid of it and start using the rubber ball (bouncy ball) directly instead. ▶️ Watch Video Walkthrough Fail Conditions Achievement Tracking - A Trigger Indicator is displayed once a pre-score of 64 Nuggets is acquired.
You Fall This Way, I Fall the Other Way	Earn the Gold Medal in Boots n' Bandits -> Bombinoes (Blastin’ Site, Lvl 04) by placing your bombs so effectively that only a single external detonation is required to trigger one bomb required to finish the level with a Gold Medal.

They Should Call You Sharp-Eyed Willie	Complete the rigorous defense mission Boots n' Bandits -> Gate Guards (Bandit Blast, Lvl 05) with the Gold Medal (5 Cows saved) while restricting yourself to a maximum of 64 shots fired.
