The '''Wii Balance Board''' ({{ja|ウィーボ|Uībo}}, ''Wii Board'') is an accessory and, within the {{uv|Wii Fit}} series, a character.

==Origin==
[[File:Wii Balance Board.png|thumb|left|A Wii Balance Board in real life.]]
The {{iw|wikipedia|Wii Balance Board}} is a peripheral controller that is compatible with select [[Wii]] and [[Wii U]] games, most notably with the {{uv|Wii Fit}} series of games. When a player stands on the balance board, it calculates weight and tracks weight shifting, which translates into actions in-game. ''Wii Fit'' among other sports games use this to detect a player's weight and support minigames made to help with exercise. In the ''Wii Fit'' series, the Wii Balance Board also functions as a character, complete with voice and personality. As a character, he helps encourage players to do their best.

Although designed for use with ''Wii Fit'', the Balance Board saw use in a variety of third-party titles in a variety of genres, most of which were aimed at the same casual market as ''Wii Fit'', and/or were connected to some kind of licensed IP, some based around fitness such as ''The Biggest Loser'' or Gold's Gym, and some without such theming, such as ''Garfield'' and ''I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!''. Skateboarding and snowboarding games used the balance board to imitate being on an actual board. Some titles not designed for the Balance Board, such as ''Tetris Party'' and ''Scrabble Interactive: 2009 Edition'' also provided Balance Board support as an alternate novelty control scheme. The balance board even saw use in horror games as a method of running away instead of mashing buttons. Nintendo only used the Balance Board sparingly for their own releases, with only the ''Wii Fit'' series, ''Wii Music'', {{uv|Punch-Out!!}}, ''Rock N' Roll Climber'', and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games}}'' using the peripheral. The Balance Board could also be used on the Wii U, but only two games were made to support it, one of which being ''Wii Fit U''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
[[Image:SSB4-WiiU - Wii Balance Board & Trainers.png|thumb|left|175px|The Wii Balance Board alongside the female and male Wii Fit Trainers.]]
The Wii Balance Board appears as part of {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}'s [[on-screen appearance]]. Wii Fit Trainer balances on the Wii Balance Board before stepping off, after which the Wii Balance Board floats into the air, waves goodbye to Wii Fit Trainer and then disappears in a puff of smoke.

===As a background character===

The Wii Balance Board also appears as a background character on [[Wii Fit Studio]]. He will occasionally wave with his right "hand" as combatants come near him. He will bow and walk off-stage once the stage platforms leave. When the platforms return, he will walk back on-stage and again bow toward the screen before he resumes cheering on the combatants.

===As a stage element===
One through five inanimate Wii Balance Boards will act as platforms for the Wii Fit Studio stage as well. They will often move off-stage for short periods of time, then return with a different layout so as to change up battle tactics with each shift.

Well... maybe not the smiling face, since it doesn't actually have a face and all, but he's pretty cheery for someone who gets stood on a lot. When you see him in this game, take it as a reminder that good balance is always important, especially when launching foes.

*''"Let's give it our all!"''

*''"Good hustle. We'll continue later."''
