Super Mario Galaxy : rolling gizmo help?

[RossK]

Hi guys , ive just opened up the galaxy with the green stars that has 3 levels on it , bubble blast , another manta ray surfing and i think its called the rolling gizmo gadget galaxy or something similar .

Where you manourve Mario on the ball , thing is I just cant get past the first damn little bit!!! straight after you get on the ball and go down a tiny slope then theres this narrow 3 point path , I just cant even do it!!!
I try holding it straight up to keep him stable but he just wobbles , the slightest acceleration forward causes mario to shoot off and tumble down , wahhhhhhhh i really want all the stars but im worried ill never be able to do this :(
Any tips pleaseee?:wtf:

The way I did it, was just hold it straight until Mario doesn't move and then just move a little bit over the path and then hold it straight again. It shouldn't be a problem that way, because keeping Mario still isn't that hard. Just take your time and you should easily make it. :)

i hate the mata surfing on the 1st galaxy it was hard.

I thought the manta ray surfing was rather easy and the ball rolling one much harder:)

[RossK]

yeah i found manta surfing easy both times , but the rolling ball impossible , thanks for the tip though I shall give it a go tommorow :)

I found Rolling Gizmo the easiest of the 3 Trial Galaxies. I can't see why everyone struggles with it really. Are you holding the Wiimote-correctly in the pointing up postion?

[RossK]

hmm maybe not ill give it a go in a minute.:wtf:

If I recall correctly that was the star I got when I last played Super Mario Galaxy, it wasn't too bad only took me a few tries, just persevere! It becomes quite possible after only a few tries and getting the controller positioning right, also tip - make the ball stop as often as you can to make repositioning easier. :smile:

thanks! i didnt get a chance to play last night , tommorow i should do though , im sure once i get past the first little bit i will hopefully be ok! :S

[RossK]

wahhh....ok i maanged to get past the first bit and bash the lblocks and move onto the next section with the swinging platforms......but i cant do it ahhhhhh....someone come to my house and do it for me please :P
I think im gonna have to just keep on and on but its so frustating!

Did anyone else found that if you held it straight up the ball came backwards? I had to point it slightly forwards to keep it still which made it really hard to keep it still. So I just had to go for it.

Full speed rampage FTW!!

I did it guys : peace:
this morning I watched this run through of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FalG9nXy-XA
and then tried it , managed it after 3 trys :)
seriously helped me for some reason , also i think taking it nice and slow helps with holidng the wii remote straight up then just slightly ever so slightly lowering .
