When playing a game that involves alternating between a Wii Remote and the Wii U GamePad, make sure you have both to hand before starting.

When placing the GamePad on the floor, choose a flat surface. Make sure there is enough room around the GamePad to play safely. Stepping on or kicking the GamePad could lead to injury, or damage to both the GamePad and nearby objects.

Some games are played by turning the GamePad around and showing the screen to other players. If the GamePad becomes difficult to hold in this position, please put the GamePad on a stable surface, like a table or your lap.

When playing a GamePad Party game or playing with the GamePad on the floor, make sure the GamePad is not being charged at the same time. If your hands or feet get caught in the Wii U GamePad AC adapter cords, it could lead to injury, or damage to both the GamePad and nearby objects.

When playing Water Runners in House Party mode, make sure there is plenty of space around you and do not make any abrupt movements. Doing so could lead to injury, or damage to both the GamePad and nearby objects. 11 Copyrigh t Informati on
