Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree (Wii, 2007)

Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree for the Nintendo Wii is a game that was released in 2007 by Nintendo.

Single Player Mode:

This game uses your Mii characters as they enroll in the "Big Brain Academy". Once you enroll in the academy the headmaster ask's you to take a test to see what your brain weight, or score, is.

To do this you complete in a number of mini-games based under 5 main groupings: Visual, Memorize, Computer, Identify, and Analyze. Under each category there are easy, medium, and hard settings (Expert also will come up in multi-player mode). Once you complete your test you get a "base brain score" to see how you stack up.

After you have your base score you can then do practice sessions under the easy, medium, hard, or expert settings in the above listed categories. You compete to earn medal's (bronze, silver, gold, or platinum) based on your skill level's.

A combination of skill and *speed* help determine what your actual brain size is.

Multiplayer:

The three multiplayer modes in Big Brain Academy allow you to test your brain against up to eight other people.

Mind Sprint

Mind Sprint allows two players to go head-to-head in a split-screened race, or up to eight players can play as two teams.

Mental Marathon

A team works together (or an individual works alone) to score as many points as possible within a time limit.

Brain Quiz

Players take turns choosing from a selection of 12 categories. Each category has a difficulty attached to it, though this is hidden until the category is selected.
