Good going, debaloo!

My record time on Free Ride Bursting Beach Balls... 18:20:56, down little by little (even if only fraction of seconds!)

Good going! I'm just 15 seconds ahead of you and it will probably take me a while to beat my own record .

And here I was going to brag because I have found a place to start from that shaved 4 minutes off my time to 21:30:08. I need to get a better less rambling route and maybe not hit so many fence posts and that can get even faster. But now I read people are at 18 minutes! Wow! I have to work harder!

Now I'm at 17:55:71, but there is much room for improvement; jvv is just above 16 and pushing to get into the 15s. As time goes on, I perfect turns, find faster shortcuts, learn to control my kitty better... all these things improve time. A good route is a priority! The faster ones have some variety of Didi's route starting at the grass triangle below the castle and going up to drop off the mountain after balloon 3. (Unless I'm missing something.)

Never ever looked at any of these sites before and al;ways hated video games but the Wii has changed my life. I've lost 11lb since January 10th and am totally addicted to cycling. I found all 20 baloons on my own but thought it was an impossible dream to get them all in 30 mins. Now I know different! After finding this site last night I got up on the roofs for the first time, wondered what that ramp was for after smaking face first into a wall one time. Now all I need to do is get all 20 in the 30 mins. Wish me luck.

Hi WiiMarie, welcome! Good going on finding all the balloons and on the weight loss.

I though I was doing great when I got them in 26.5 minutes, but that was about 10 minutes too slow by today's standards here. Old gezers are giving me a run for my money. Let us know how you do, and don't feel shy to post high minutes; it takes time to figure out your best route (or steal one) and learn how to trim seconds and minutes off. Read this section for lots of cheats and friendly competition.

I am no spring chicken myself hurtling towards the big 50 this year. still haven't got them all in one go thnaks to a phone call from my husband half way through my last try but you guys are inspiring me to keep trying. Oh well back to it...

Hi WiiMarie, isn't this forum great! We,ve had our Wii and Wii Fit Plus for about 2 months too. My best time so far for the Island Cycling finding all 20 beach balls/baloons is 25:35:38, but I would still be searching for them if not for the spoiler info here. I don't seem to have lost any weight, but I feel oh so much better and have more strength and stamina. I'm a lot happier too!

The next time someone calls you or you need to answer the door you can put the game on 'hold'. Press the + button to the right of the 'home' button, then when you get back use the 'A' button to click on 'continue' on the screen. I don't know how long this works for, but I have been using it when I've forgotten to bring a glass of water close enough to the balence board to reach it without getting off. After you click 'continue' it takes you back right where you left off with no change at all in the time left or anything.

Hi I did put it on hold but lost my sense of where I was by the time I got off the phone so messed it up and missed a ball. I thought I'd got all 20 but hadn't and didn't know which one I'd missed which was annoying as I had time to spare but no idea where to go. Never mind. I've been looking at the maps and think I have a route planned that will do the trick.

I've been struggling with my weight for years since I had a hysterectomy but got the wii for Christmas and started using it properly on 10th January. I've lost 11lb since then and am at the lowest I've been for years. Still have about another 24 to go but I finally feel like I can do it.

The maps have really helped because althoug I knew where all the balls were I couldn't work out a route.Being able to get allof them in one game is my goal. Maybe tomorrow...
