All Hidden Targets in Archery in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort Are Listed

Background: The Wii Sports Legacy Moves to Switch 2

The Wii Sports legacy continues on Switch 2 with Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. The game is a sequel to a sequel in the broader series, and its most obvious signal of continuity is location: it marks the first time since Wii Sports Resort that the series returns to Wuhu Island.

The return is not just cosmetic. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort adds leisure sports that let players fly, jet-ski, and skateboard around the island, giving them a chance to see more of the environment than before. That change sets the tone for the game: the island itself is now part of the attraction, not only a backdrop.

Development: Archery Comes Back With Hidden Targets

The backdrop is one way Nintendo Switch Sports Resort pays homage to Wii Sports Resort, but the archery content is another. Archery is back, and, as in Wii Sports Resort, each range has a secret target.

For players following the progression, the task is straightforward but easy to miss: there are 12 hidden targets across the game. Finding and hitting six of the 12 unlocks the hidden target archery achievement. Each target also offers a chance to score maximum points, which makes them more than simple curiosities.

The game’s range order creates a clear timeline of difficulty. Players begin in Plaza, move to Beach, then Plains, and finally face the windier, more demanding ranges in the Mountains. The hidden targets follow that same progression, becoming less obvious and harder to hit as the player moves across Wuhu Island.

Latest Progress: The 12 Secret Targets by Range

Plaza: Apple, Pinata, and Burger

Each range has its secret target present from the start. The challenge is knowing what to look for.

Plaza A – Apple
The first hidden target in Plaza A is an apple. Aim slightly to the right of the main target, and the apple can be seen sitting on a rock through the railing on the bridge. There is no wind to account for at this stage, so the main adjustment is aiming above the apple to hit it and earn maximum points.

The camera provides a useful cue. If the camera follows the arrow, the shot is close to the target. If the camera stays behind the player, the arrow is likely to miss by some distance.

Plaza B – Pinata
The second Plaza range hides a pinata. It is farther off to the left than the apple, sitting just off the shore on a rock poking out of the water. Wind is still not a major concern, but the extra water between the player and the target adds distance and makes the shot less forgiving.

Plaza C – Burger
The third and final Plaza range hides a burger. This one is higher than the previous two. Look way off to the left, and the burger can be seen sitting on a building with a pointed roof, just to the left of the leaves of the middle palm tree. Because of its height, players need to aim quite a bit higher than usual.

Beach: Purin, Apple, and Crown Melon

After Plaza, the archery challenge moves to the beach. The targets here still follow the same basic rule: look beyond the main target, but the hiding places become more subtle.

Beach A – Purin
Beach A introduces the game’s first purin, a Japanese custard pudding. It appears on the right-hand side of the field of view, perched on a rock surrounded by a railing at its base, with a bush just to the right.

Beach B – Apple
Beach B marks a noticeable difficulty increase. This apple is the first secret target that is particularly well hidden. Players only need to aim very slightly to the right of the main target to bring the apple into view, but even then it may not be obvious. The key is to look closely at the rocks between the two wind turbines, where the top of the apple peeks out.

Beach C – Crown Melon
The final Beach range places the player high above the course. Beach C’s crown melon is visible early, but it is also one of the first well-camouflaged targets. Aim left and slightly up, and the melon can be seen perched on a cliff edge. The grey backdrop helps it remain hidden.

By this point, the player has covered three of the game’s four major areas. Since six of the 12 hidden targets are needed to unlock the hidden target archery achievement, players who have found all the targets through Beach are already close to the unlock threshold.

Plains: Burger, Crown Melon, and Burger

The Plains courses are set on big, open, flat areas of Wuhu Island. That openness might suggest the hidden targets would be easier to spot, but the opposite is true: the terrain spreads out, and some targets are tucked behind structures or hidden at a distance.

Plains A – Burger
Plains A contains the game’s second burger. Look for a dome off to the left of the range. The burger is sitting on the deck outside, visible through the railings, giving players a clear aim point once they know where to look.

Plains B – Crown Melon
Another crown melon appears on Plains B. Like the Beach version, it is perched on a cliff, but this one is especially well hidden. Players need to aim quite far to the left and look up high. The grey cliff and green grass help the melon blend in, and from the firing position only the top of it is visible.

Plains C – Burger
Plains C may contain the most well-hidden target of the 12. It is also the only target that requires players to aim downhill. Look very closely at the tree on the beach in the range view, and a burger can be seen hidden behind the leaves on its left-hand side. It is hard to find, but once spotted it is easier to hit than many other hidden targets because the arrow is fired downhill.

Mountains: Purin, Pinata, and Toaster

The final three ranges are set in the mountains of Wuhu Island. Here, the environment becomes the main obstacle. Wind is a bigger factor than anywhere else on the island, and the hidden targets are not only harder to see but also harder to hit.

Mountains A – Purin
The first mountain target is another purin. Pivot to the right of the main target, and the pudding can be seen sitting on an elevated rock to the left of a clump of trees. It looks reachable, but the elevated wind speed makes it much harder to hit than it appears.

Mountains B – Pinata
The Mountains B range is located at the entrance to a cave, but the wind remains a major problem. This is one of the most difficult ranges in the game, and its hidden target matches that difficulty. The pinata is bright-colored, yet it is notoriously hard to spot. It appears slightly to the right of the main target, masked by a shadow at the bottom of a ramp and behind a small rock. It is also farther away than it seems, so players need to aim high.

Mountains C – Toaster
The final archery range in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is the most visually striking because it is inside a volcano. Wind is still a problem, partly because of the updraft created by the lava. The glowing orange walls make the hidden target the hardest of the 12 to spot, since the item itself has a similar color.

That final target is a toaster. It can be seen by looking very closely up and to the left. Once found, it is not too hard to hit, but the updraft can elevate arrows more than players expect.

Current Stage: A Complete Hidden Target Checklist for Switch 2

The timeline of Nintendo Switch Sports Resort’s archery challenge moves from familiar island landmarks to increasingly demanding environments. Plaza introduces the hidden targets with simple aiming lessons, Beach tests visibility and camouflage, Plains uses open terrain to make targets harder to identify, and Mountains adds wind and volcanic heat as the final barrier.

For players, the practical meaning is clear: the secret targets are not random decorations. They reward precise aiming, awareness of the environment, and knowledge of the camera and wind cues. Finding and hitting six of the 12 unlocks the hidden target archery achievement, while hitting individual targets gives maximum points.

At the current stage, the full route is known: 12 hidden targets, four areas, and a progression from apple, pinata, burger, purin, crown melon, and toaster. The challenge now is execution, especially in the Mountains, where spotting the target is only half the problem.
