Highest Points Earned In "Wii Sports - Tennis" Returning Balls

JimmyNutrin

Thomas Whelan returned 613 balls in a single run of Returning Balls, the tennis training game in Wii Sports, before one finally slipped past. The video, filmed off a TV screen in Dublin, picks the run up at 210 and follows the game's own counter without a cut to 613 and the "Finished" call, with a few pauses on the HOME menu along the way. The results screen then reads 101, because the game stores this score in a counter that rolls over every 256 points, and 613 is exactly two rollovers plus 101.
