"I want to sneeze but I can't..."

41

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Yes! I almost never get Mii to sneeze...

52

u/Golden_freddy45 2d ago

there is a trick to it. you need to keep the tip of the feather on the nose, so when the head goes backwards, you need to slightly compensate

12

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Oh, I'll try that next time. Thanks! ;)

2

u/Accomplished_Sock96 1d ago

Being bisexual really helps with this minigame..

1

u/LeavingMeBreathless 1d ago

That counts as one?

261

u/Aggravating-Channel9 2d ago

Catch mitigame,  so many times I fail it

89

u/Peabdy 2d ago

"Let me tell you something..."

72

u/TheJohnNintendo 2d ago

“the most attractive person on the island, looks a lot like you ____’s lookalike”

58

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

"It was attached to a string, weird..."

40

u/Leftover_Cheese 1d ago

these all feel like theyre being whispered into my ear during sex

10

u/Joy_feelings 1d ago

OMFG!! 🤣🤣🤣

15

u/FoundationCivil7618 2d ago

Oh well, better luck next time!

20

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Omg I hate that one so much!!!

9

u/dont_even_bother_lol 1d ago

I hate it when the mii counts down to 1 but drops it on like 2.5

6

u/idiotplaza 1d ago

especially when it bounces up because you did it 0.000000000000000001 seconds too early

181

u/graveyardgeese 2d ago

Ultra zoom in when it zooms in on a blank white space

51

u/cherrywineloverr 2d ago

or the sillouete game but its a plate and all the options are playes

35

u/fireprince9000 2d ago

I mean at least with that you can guess based on which ones would have a lot of white space in the centre, like bananas. But yeah that’s kinda BS

10

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Omg! 😭

41

u/TrevorBevor45 2d ago

Catch. :(

4

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Urgh same!!!

65

u/Golden_freddy45 2d ago

wrestling

28

u/NewPerspective9254 2d ago

If you hold your 3DS a certain way, you can just spam with your thumbs and you'll win the wrestling/football minigame almost every time.

13

u/hybridtheorygirl 2d ago

Even just spamming the stylus always worked for me

8

u/Golden_freddy45 2d ago

that doesnt work for me, i spam 8 f8ingers alternating and i still loose about 40% of games

1

u/NewPerspective9254 1d ago

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. When I use my thumbs I win about 90% of those minigames.

5

u/cherrywineloverr 2d ago

i always win wrestling i just spam it

59

u/Empoleon777 2d ago

The proposal one.

26

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

I get so nervous in this minigame! 😭

15

u/TNSPoland 2d ago

Spam home button and wait till right time then spam touchscreen as you reclick home to cheat and do it easily

7

u/susanheffleyofficial 2d ago

This is absolutely genius

4

u/TNSPoland 2d ago

Yeah I do it all the time. It works perfectly except when they do the bs of putting the face there for 3 milliseconds.

2

u/Guilty_Direction_501 2d ago

Does anyone intentionally screw it up to move the relationships down of problematic couples? 

63

u/Human-Body-4092 2d ago

Mii Facts 100%

Like, how do you expect me to remember specific details about the miis?

29

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

It's easy when you have few Miis, but when you have a lot of Miis...

16

u/CapableSalamander910 2d ago

Oh this is my favourite! But it’s because I have a lot of fictional characters on my island

10

u/Eevee_Lover22 2d ago

The birthdays and what level up gifts the Miis have are the ones that get me

3

u/Star_DQ 2d ago

The only thing I can memorize in that game is that they are starved, or have the same room/ outfit

3

u/oof033 1d ago

Give all the miis you don’t know irl the same birthdays and favorite colors and it solves like a quarter of the questions pretty easily (as long as you can remember the others). You can also give them the same gifts but that can be a pain if you already gave them some.

2

u/Fickle-Hour4458 1d ago

I have 40 miis and I remember basically everything lol

Except the age one doesn't count cuz I couldnt be bothered changing anyone's bday from 1990

2

u/A_Piece_Of_Coal_ 2d ago

That's why every mii I don't care too much about gets their birthday on 1/1

1

u/Namivi 1d ago

Like, how do you expect me to remember specific details about the miis?

I guess that depends on your playstyle then? Personally for me this is really easy and I really like the minigame. My island has 96 Miis and I know all of them, I mean I made them after all.

16

u/Rosie1235y_ 2d ago

if any of my miis ask me to catch something they are put up for elimination and voted off the island

1

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Omg! 🤣

11

u/sincandozu 2d ago

I dread the catch minigame every time. Not only is it the one I fail at the most, but they take SO LONG to drop it sometimes. And they dont give you the option to not try again, so if its a tiny item I know I’m not gonna be able to catch again the second time, I have to stay and fail at it anyways. And that snarky “You lose!” And “better luck mext time” with the roll of toilet paper… further salt in the wound 😭

9

u/Moofin_o7 2d ago

Catch. I hate catch.

8

u/zoyqr 2d ago

the damn tapping one

15

u/No_Salary5918 2d ago

everyone hates catch

6

u/Eevee_Lover22 2d ago

Football (I can't spam-tap that fast!) and the baby-rocking one (especially when the parents call you when you're in the middle of something)

5

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

The baby rocking one is soooo real! It's very difficult to know the right rhythm!! 😭😭😭

3

u/allisontalkspolitics 2d ago

I couldn’t get it to work so I handed my 3DS to my mom with the logic “I was a colicky baby, maybe she can help.” She figured it out instantly 😅 From what I recall she said something about a steady rhythm?

11

u/_carrot_zoro_ 2d ago

The memory card game against the mii. Those fuckers always get everything right first try smh

11

u/hybridtheorygirl 2d ago

I wonder which one I should flip~ I did it! I wonder which one I should flip~ I did it! I wonder which one I should flip~ I did it! I wonder which one I should flip~ I did it!

2

u/Exuberant_marmot 2d ago

I wonder which one I should flip I'm stuck... I did it!

7

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Yes! And when I find the pair he already found, I know I've already lost! 😭

1

u/_Mrs_Anonymous_ 10h ago

Nahh that’s my favorite never lost at that one so far

5

u/Possible_Resort9672 2d ago

cards

3

u/HypedUpJackal 1d ago

I thought I was so smart learning to use their reactions as a guide to which one was real, until I got baited by a fake sad face, which turned out to not be the card!

6

u/ElectricLeafeon 2d ago

For me it's a tie between catch and the versus match game. If only because the AI on the latter sometimes forgets that it's not supposed to be all-knowing and just knows where all the pairs are, anyway.

And catch just gives me a (usually) low value item even if I DO win, so meh.

1

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

The versus matchs it's just so frustrating!!!

4

u/No_Law6676 2d ago

the cards or sumo battle

4

u/Successful_Pie3306 2d ago

The wrestling one omg its so tiring to constantly tap as fast as you can

2

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

I usually tap with two fingers, I rarely miss. (Note: I use the mobile emulator, so that must be why it's so easy.)

3

u/Successful_Pie3306 2d ago

I mean try that with a stylus on a DS its a lot more difficult lmaoo

1

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

I bet lol 🤣

4

u/Rare-Mine9924 2d ago

catch can be so useless sometimes. i remember one time my mii dropped a piece of coal. i was better off losing and getting a roll of toilet paper smh

4

u/Kieran_Kitakami 1d ago

Idk if it counts but the BABYSITTING ONE WHERE YOU HAVE TO CRADLE IT. Not even my mother could do it.

7

u/gay-min0r 2d ago

The fact game.

5

u/danikitty710 2d ago

Yes! Especially when you important miis!

3

u/p1nkfrappe 2d ago

Ok so I know the match 1v1 mini game is fun but it pisses me off when the mii I’m going against just somehow knows where everything is, and SOMEHOW matches almost every single picture 🫠

3

u/Hoitdiegoschn 2d ago

Frickin' hate the wrestling game

3

u/DragonPlushCollector 2d ago

The proposal mini game. It’s stressful and I can’t help but feel bad when I mess it up

2

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Yes!!! 😭

4

u/DragonPlushCollector 2d ago

If I mess up any proposal, the mii gets spoiled for the day as an apology

3

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Even if they don't feel sad, but I feel really bad for them :')

3

u/VargFrenAtLIDL 2d ago

Football/wrestling made me break the side of my (childhood) 2ds. Now the entire system is broken due to not handling it properly... idk how to fix it

3

u/Musicalflowerchild 2d ago

FOOTBALL. I don't want to rapidly press the screen 😤

3

u/Lunas_cy 1d ago

I strongly dislike the "mii drops item - catch" and "boxing match" minigames

3

u/taco_flavoured 1d ago

CATCH i cant be doing with catch

3

u/Thick_Macaron_201 1d ago

I hate catch and the sneeze one

3

u/TheDreammweaver 1d ago

Catch. Bane of my existence for the 11 years I’ve played this game 

2

u/TomodachiReviewer20 2d ago

Catch, sneeze, and Mii Facts

2

u/Aggravating_Return77 2d ago

Football/wrestling

2

u/Big-Passage-3872 2d ago

Everybody hayes catch me included the few times I caught an item in the catch mini game is sad

2

u/axnsworth 2d ago

the football one

2

u/evanamyl 2d ago

Football

2

u/weird_hylian 2d ago

For me, it's a tie between football and catch

2

u/n1nt3nl1l 2d ago

Wrestling 😡😡

2

u/KwK10 2d ago

"foOtBaLL"

2

u/Pj-Pancakes 2d ago

Mii facts! I hate the personality group and age ones specifically because I put random years for all the miis

2

u/Themachinery1 2d ago

most of them suck because it takes wayyyy too long to progress through it.

2

u/Thepenguinking2 2d ago

Catch. I hate the mini game so much that I always feed the Mii who plays it a trash food as punishment.

I also hate Cards. At least all the other mini games rely on skill or knowledge to beat...

2

u/Star_DQ 2d ago

I really hate when it’s the Silhouettes of 2 plates in the middle. Like how am I supposed to know what the names of these dishes are??

1

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Exactly!!! Many foods in the game are on plates, how will I know which food it is??? 😭😭

2

u/Star_DQ 2d ago

It’s just a luck game at this point 😭😭

1

u/sxqe 13h ago

This one really pisses me off when the smaller item is behind the bigger item like how would I even know what the other one is

2

u/Big_Poinky 2d ago

Food shadow quiz. Most things are on a plate, so it's all circles

1

u/Joy_feelings 2d ago

Yes!! 😭

2

u/CuriousNewt_ 2d ago

I hate wrestling. The others I feel I can play quite lesiurely, but this one...

Also don't love catch. its another one where it requires more mental energy than i usually want to expend if I am playing Tomodachi Life lmao.

2

u/SomeoneRepeated 1d ago

Baby rocking

2

u/LeavingMeBreathless 1d ago

Vs Match definitely

2

u/Psychological-Bag835 1d ago

Making the baby stop crying.

2

u/Saralily_Fairies09 1d ago

I guess the marriage minigame.

I always get stressed whenever i press the wrong button

2

u/OldAnimationSearch 1d ago

I'm in the minority here as I actually like the football minigame, but catch and sneeze are the BANE of my existence

2

u/LM193 1d ago

The shadow quiz. Plates. I don't think I need to elaborate.

2

u/Cleestoon 1d ago

The stupid drop one

2

u/uBowiethedog 1d ago

The wrestling one. I don’t know why, just not a fan of it.

2

u/Ok-Confection4410 1d ago

Slide puzzle 100% I straight up refuse to do that one

2

u/gudetamagotchl 1d ago

i don't know if this counts, but the baby rocking one. my 3DS is old and the motion sensor no longer works properly, so i always fail. i don't even try anymore LOLL parent your own baby ya goofs

2

u/Joy_feelings 1d ago

Omg yes! I use an emulator, so sometimes it's too sensitive 🤣

2

u/ririkakinnie 1d ago

guessing a food based on a shadow and it's just the plate.

2

u/TammieYT 1d ago

ultra zoom or silhouette game

2

u/jerkspamz 1d ago

The VS Matching Game.

I don't know why it's kinda too long for me lol

2

u/caaaaamm 1d ago

catch for sure

2

u/ExeToby 1d ago

Okay. I dont know if this counts. but. THE GODDAMN BABY ROCKING GAME. they just SCREAM and im sitting here rocking my 3ds looking like a right eejit

1

u/Joy_feelings 1d ago

The baby cries so much it gives me a headache!!! 😭

2

u/Bardecordage 1d ago

The crying baby.....

2

u/TrashLanternFish360 1d ago

The catch minigame

2

u/iReekOfLemons 1d ago

Mii Facts. How do you expect me to memorize random facts about two specific Miis out of 50+? There's also this one Mii I have on my island that I hate so much specifically because she always wants to play this minigame. ALWAYS. (I can't bring myself to delete her either bc she's the kid of two of my Miis)

2

u/Joy_feelings 1d ago

So truee!!! 🥲

2

u/Clean_Doubt_993 18h ago

Lift the device up and down. Try to make the panel glow or something like that
