How to Unlock Games in Wii: Guinness World Records

In 2008, the Nintendo Wii Console and DS handheld system became the only systems to play host to the Guinness Book of World Records. In "Guinness World Records: The Video Game," Wii players use the Wiimote and nunchuk to complete a number of World Record challenges. The 36 minigames run the gamut of record events from something as grand as constructing the world's largest skyscraper to as bizarre as growing the world's longest toenails. However, players don't have access to all of the games from the onset; many must be unlocked through game play in order to be enjoyed.
