Players can also link their high scores with the Mii characters. The collection allows users to save or load their progress in each of the games at any time. There is support for two players and also for cooperative games.

Each game supports the four main Nintendo Wii controller options including the Wii Remote by itself, Wii Remote with Nunchuk, the Classic Controller, and the GameCube Controller.
