after a game, a player gains or loses skill points based on how well they played compared to the computer's skill level. some games do not calculate points if the player is playing with other people (multiplayer) and not with a computer (single-player). the game keeps track of points by putting them on a graph. the more skill points a player has, the more people will be in the crowd during some games like tennis and boxing. if a player gets 1000 skill points, they get the "pro" rank. the "pro" rank gives the player some new features, such as a shiny bowling ball when playing bowling. if a player gets the "pro" rank, the game will put a message on the wii message board.
