When you place the GamePad on the floor, put it on a flat surface. Make sure there is enough room around the GamePad to play safely. Stepping on or kicking the GamePad can lead to injury or damage to the GamePad. Some games are played by turning the GamePad around and showing the screen to other players.

When playing with the GamePad on the floor or when playing a GamePad Party game, make sure the GamePad is not being charged at the same time. If your hands or feet get caught in the Wii U GamePad AC adapter cord, it could lead to injury or damage to the GamePad. When playing Water Runners in House Party mode, make sure there is plenty of space around you and do not make any vigorous movements. This could lead to injuries or damage to the GamePad and other nearby things.
