Playing Volleyball

Use a Joy-Con controller to serve, bump, set, and spike the ball. The key to winning is cooperation, so work together with your partner to create openings and score points! Throwing your arms up at the right time will block incoming shots and give you an opportunity to counter too.

Volleyball Mechanics

You must earn total points of 5 before your opponent. There is no time limit so a match can go as long as it can when no team scored 5 points. If you get a tie, the first side that reaches 7 points will win the match.

How to Win Volleyball

Hit the ball perfectly

Make sure to hit the ball (serve, bump, block, and spike) at the right moment in order to have better control of the ball. Unleash a fast-moving spike and let your opponents have a lesser chance to respond.

A “Nice” text will appear when you hit the ball at the right time.

Smash the ball on blind spots

Target an open spot far from the opponents to score easily. If the opposing teams are able to respond, they may mess up their timing or be forced to shoot weak spikes.

Be careful on hitting the outside the court or else the opposing team will score instead.

Coordinate your offense

As a two-on-two team sport, you need coordinate with your teammate to win a match. Either set a ball or spike at the right time to score a point.
