For Bowling, holding down the Left, Right, or Down directions on the D-Pad during the black screen before starting a match will change the color of the bowling ball to Red, Gold, or Green respectively. Holding Up makes the color of the bowling ball Blue, although this is also the default bowling ball color that is used for Player One without holding down the D-Pad at all.

It is possible in "Bowling" to throw the bowling ball into the crowd, accompanied by a surprised reaction from the crowd (who scream and jump to avoid the ball) and an automatic do-over that does not affect the player's score. To throw the ball into the crowd, simply let go of the B Button during the back swing, and it will fly out of your Mii's hand and into the crowd.
