I've been wondering this as well. I've seen videos of people playing it on carpet, but my carpet is really plushy.

I've heard that carpet can affect how well the board works. I plan on putting a wood board under mine.

I think you can buy extension legs to use it on carpet. It does have small feet as it is, but would be no good on carpet. BTW i use my Wii Fit on a rug, but it's not a fluffy rug. It's a hard rug.

Depends on how fluffy your carpet is and how thick of under lay you have. If you keep the boad in one place and create some carpet groves -over time it should be okay even in the thicker carpet.

I was wondering this too...i guess no one has a definite answer?
I really want to play this game, but the carpet in my place is kinda thick. I dont wanna waste the money and not be able to play the game.

I'm sure you could just cut a piece of thin (1/8"-1/4") plywood to put under it. Plywood is strong, so it should hold your weight, and it's thin, so you won't really notice the difference in height.

It says in the book (In England) you get with Wii Fit that you can buy carpet feet so that your board works on fluffy carpets.

AAHHH...so I guess they're pretty sturdy? I was kinda worried when that was said that they wouldnt be able to hold a full grown person.

It can hold a person with a maximum weight of 23st 8lb (150kg). Oh and it takes 4 AA batteries.
