How to unlock harder mini-games in Pokemon Stadium

The mini-games in Pokemon Stadium are a part of the Kid's Club in the game, and includes nine total mini-games. These are all mini gameplay extras, that give you something varied to do outside of the regular battles in the stadium. They are as follows:

  • Clefairy Says
  • Dig! Dig! Dig!
  • Ekans' Hoop Hurl
  • Magikarp's Splash
  • Rock Harden
  • Run, Rattata, Run
  • Snore War
  • Sushi-Go-Round
  • Thundering Dynamo

These nine mini-games can have COM (computer) players assigned at Easy, Normal, and Hard modes. These are the default difficulties you can select when starting each mini-game, but there is even more to explore.

There is a secret Hyper difficulty mode that can be unlocked in Pokemon Stadium. This is done by getting five consecutive mini-game wins in the "Who's the Champion" match on Hard difficulty. It's purposefully very difficult to complete, but it'll make you an even more esteemed Pokemon Stadium player if you can do it.
