Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter Wii Guide

Quick answer

To succeed in Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter on Wii, focus on mastering the drawing tools early, creating a balanced hero, and using platforming techniques to collect orbs and avoid enemies.

How to master Drawn To Life: The Next Chapter on Wii

1. Create a well-proportioned hero: In the hero creation screen, draw arms and legs long enough to reach platforms and grab objects. Avoid tiny limbs—they reduce your jump range and attack speed. A common mistake is making the hero too wide, which causes collision issues in narrow passages. Test your hero in the first level; if movement feels sluggish, redraw with longer limbs.
2. Draw simple, bold weapons: When drawing weapons, use thick, continuous lines. Thin or broken lines result in weak attacks that do not stun enemies. A simple sword or club shape works better than complex designs. Remember that the game reads the outline, not the fill color. If your attack does not register, redraw the weapon with a single unbroken stroke.
3. Use the pointer to aim jumps: Point the Wii Remote at the screen and press B to jump toward the cursor. This gives you precise control over landing spots. A common mistake is flicking the remote without aiming first, which sends your hero in random directions. Always lock your cursor on a platform before pressing B. Practice aiming on stationary platforms before attempting moving ones.
4. Collect orbs to unlock new drawing tools: Orbs are hidden in breakable objects and off-screen areas. Swing your weapon at pots, crates, and suspicious walls. Missing orbs means you may not unlock colors or accessories needed for later levels. Replay earlier stages if you are stuck. Check every corner and break every container before moving to the exit.
5. Save your drawings frequently: The game does not auto-save your custom drawings. After creating or editing a hero part or weapon, use the save option in the pause menu. Losing a detailed drawing to a crash or accidental exit is frustrating and avoidable. Pause and save after every drawing session, not just after completing a level.
