Storage medium having information processing program stored therein, information processing system, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing method for use with an information processing system comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:

• setting a first value for a first target in a game world of a game played by a player;
• responsive to reception of operation data indicating a first fitness action performed by the player:
• causing a first action to be taken in the game world relative to the first target;
• calculating a first amount by which to reduce the first value for the first target based on a player parameter set for a player character such that, the greater the player parameter, the greater the possible reduction of the first value;
• and
• reducing the first value for the first target based on the calculated first amount;
• and
• increasing the player parameter as the game progresses such that increases to the player parameter are at least partially decoupled from player fitness-related performance gains.

An information processing system, comprising:

• at least one memory coupled to at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
• setting a first value for a first target in a game world of a game played by a player;
• responsive to reception of operation data indicating a first fitness action performed by the player:
• causing a first action to be taken in the game world relative to the first target;
• calculating a first amount by which to reduce the first value for the first target based on a player parameter set for a player character such that, the greater the player parameter, the greater the possible reduction of the first value;
• and
• reducing the first value for the first target based on the calculated first amount;
• and
• increasing the player parameter as the game progresses such that increases to the player parameter are at least partially decoupled from player fitness-related performance gains.
