Summer Sports: Paradise Island is a sports video game developed and published by Destineer for Nintendo's Wii. The game was released in North America on April 15, 2008.

The game is a collection of seven sports games similar to Wii Sports, ranging from croquet to mini-golf. The game received mostly mediocre reviews from critics, who felt that the game looked appropriately nice but was lacking in gameplay.

Summer Sports features seven different sports: basketball, badminton, volleyball, horseshoes, lawn darts, mini-golf, and croquet. The basketball game does not contain a full game of basketball, but instead allows players to play horse, Around the World, and shot clock. Horseshoes and lawn darts play their respective normal games using Wii remote motion controls. Volleyball and badminton also play like their normal counterparts, and use motion controls. Mini-golf and croquet include a power meter which measures the player's strength on their shots, giving the player accurate feedback.

Summer Sports: Paradise Island received mostly mediocre reviews from critics, who found fault with the game's control scheme; the game received a 53.3% from GameRankings.IGN's Daemon Hatfield criticized the game, stating that five of the seven mini-games were "terrible" and that the other two were "okay". He noted that the instruction manual for the game was misprinted, giving instructions for basketball three times, and croquet and horseshoes instructions twice, while neglecting to have anything about the other four games. Gaming Nexus's Cyril Lachel felt that the compilation was, "not as consistent" as one would hope.

Summer (/ˈsʌmər/ SU-mər) is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. At the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, culture, and tradition, but when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.

From an astronomical view, the equinoxes and solstices would be the middle of the respective seasons, but a variable seasonal lag means that the meteorological start of the season, which is based on average temperature patterns, occurs several weeks later than the start of the astronomical season. According to meteorologists, summer extends for the whole months of June, July, and August in the northern hemisphere and the whole months of December, January, and February in the southern hemisphere. Under meteorological definitions, all seasons are arbitrarily set to start at the beginning of a calendar month and end at the end of a month. This meteorological definition of summer also aligns with the commonly viewed notion of summer as the season with the longest (and warmest) days of the year (365 days), in which daylight predominates. The meteorological reckoning of seasons is used in Austria, Denmark and the former USSR; it is also used by many in the United Kingdom, where summer is thought of as extending from mid-May to mid-August. In Ireland, the summer months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are June, July and August. However, according to the Irish Calendar summer begins 1 May and ends 1 August. School textbooks in Ireland follow the cultural norm of summer commencing on 1 May rather than the meteorological definition of 1 June.

Sport (or, in the United States, sports) is all forms of competitive physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical fitness and provide entertainment to participants. Hundreds of sports exist, from those requiring only two participants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports, although limits the amount of mind games which can be admitted as sports.
