The story in the game is described as simplistic and child-friendly, typical of Nintendo's style, with some users finding the dialogue dull and cheesy. While the game features a fully voiced narrative and a lengthy storyline, it often feels secondary to the fitness elements, leading to mixed reviews regarding its depth and character development. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a compelling narrative experience.
“Nach einem Level lässt sich der Puls messen und es gibt eine Übersicht, wie lange man trainiert hat, welche Übungen absolviert wurden, Puls, Kalorienverbrauch etc. Es gibt eine Story und das gesamte Spiel ist voll vertont.”
“Laut anderen Reviews ist die Story sehr lang.”
“Then it'd feel less like you're playing a fitness game, but a game with plot and elements to drive you to move on.”
“The dialogues are boring: typical Nintendo, the story and thus the dialogues are child-friendly.”
